Th nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) is an archetypal neurotransmistter-gated ionic channel. Structure-function relationships of the nicotinic AChR have been studied by analysing the functional properties of receptors of different subunit compositions produced by expression of the corresponding cDNAs and those of mutant receptors produced by expression of the cDNAs altered by site-directed mutagenesis. For example, the single-channel properties of bovine nicotinic AChRs of different subunit compositions, in conjunction with the developmental changes observed in the muscular contents of the subunit mRNAs, suggest that replacement of the γ-subunit by the ε-subunit it responsible for the functional alteration of the nicotinic AChR during muscle development. Furthermore, functional analysis of nicotinic AChR mutants generated by site-directed mutagenesis indicates that three clusters of negatively charged and glutamine residues neighbouring the hydrophobic segment M 2 of the α-, β-, γ- and δ- subunis, probably forming the three anionic rings, are major determinants of the rate of ion transport through the channel.
