Abstract
A high-affinity muscarinic receptor is detectable both in normal 3T3 mouse fibroblasts and in their transformed counterpart obtained by transfection with the oncogene EJ/T24-H-ras. However, only the transformed cell line is responsive to muscarinic agonist carbamylcholine in terms of Ca2+ influx and polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis, whereas the normal cell line is unresponsive. Using a point-mutated p21ras protein and monoclonal antibodies anti-p21ras, we provide evidences that p21ras couples to receptor-operating calcium channels and to polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis a muscarinic receptor which is uncoupled in normal mouse fibroblasts.Entities:
