To derive structure-function relationships for receptor-G protein coupling, libraries were created of human m5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (m5) randomly mutated in the C-terminal region of the third intracellular loop. Functional receptors were identified based on their ability to amplify NIH 3T3 cells in a ligand-dependent manner, These receptors either had wildtype phenotypes (Group 1) or were functionally impaired (Group 2). No ''activated receptors'' were identified, Tolerated substitutions in Group 2 receptors were randomly distributed and frequently included prolines and glycines. In contrast, tolerated substitutions in Group 1 receptors exhibited a periodicity proximal to transmembrane domain 6 where proline and glycine substitutions were not observed. These observations are consistent with a short alpha-helical extension of the C-terminal region of the third intracellular loop from transmembrane domain 6. Mutations at Ala-441 were most commonly associated with impaired function of Group 2 receptors. Twelve point mutations at Ala-441 were tested, and all caused marked increases in EC(50) values with little effect on maximal response or agonist binding affinity. These results indicate that Ala-441 is a key determinant of m5 receptor affinity for G proteins and exists within the structural context of a short alpha-helix.
