Covalent Modification of Mutant Rat P2X2 Receptors with a Thiol-Reactive Fluorophore Allows Channel Activation by Zinc or Acidic pH without ATP

Rat P2X2 receptors open at an undetectably low rate in the absence of ATP. Furthermore, two allosteric modulators, zinc and acidic pH, cannot by themselves open these channels. We describe here the properties of a mutant receptor, K69C, before and after treatment with the thiol-reactive fluorophore...
