Functional identification of close proximity amino acid side chains within the transmembrane-spanning helixes of the P2X2 receptor.

The transition from the closed to open state greatly alters the intra- and inter-subunit interactions of the P2X receptor (P2XR). The interactions that occur in the transmembrane domain of the P2X2R remain unclear. We used substituted cysteine mutagenesis disulfide mapping to identify pairs of resid...
