Assembly of mutant subunits of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor lacking the conserved disulfide loop structure

Each subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) contains two conserved cysteine residues, which are known to form a disulfide bond, in the N-terminal extracellular domain. The role of this retained structural feature in the biogenesis of the AChR was studied by expressing site-directed m...
