}Agonist properties of the P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) differ strikingly from other P2X receptors in two main ways: high concentrations of ATP (> 100 μM) are required to activate the receptor, and the ATP analog 2′,3′-O-(4-benzoyl-benzoyl)ATP (BzATP) is both more potent than ATP and evokes a higher maximum current. However, there are striking species differences in these properties. We sought to exploit the large differences in ATP and BzATP responses between rat and mouse P2X7R to delineate regions…

C-terminal Calmodulin-binding Motif Differentially Controls Human and Rat P2X7 Receptor Current Facilitation*
- BiologyThe Journal of Biological Chemistry

The leftward shift in the ATP concentration-response curve with repeated agonist applications appears to be a property of the calcium-independent facilitation process because it was not altered in any of the chimeric or mutated P2X7Rs.
Identification of Key Residues Coordinating Functional Inhibition of P2X7 Receptors by Zinc and Copper
- BiologyMolecular Pharmacology
- 2008
It is concluded that zinc and copper inhibition is due to a direct interaction of these divalent cations with ectodomain residues of the P2X7 receptor, primarily involving combined interaction with His62 and Asp197 residues.

Investigation of the effects of single alanine substitutions in the supposed ATP binding site of the human P2X3 receptor on the agonistic effect of nucleotide analogs concluded changes in the binding energies caused by alterations in the receptor and/or agonist structures to be attributable to the preferential binding of certain structural constituents of ATP to certain amino acid moieties of the receptor.

It is demonstrated that human P2 X7R exhibits different sensitivity to nickel and calcium compared with the case of the mouse one, while there is no species difference in the sensitivity of their P2X7Rs to magnesium, zinc and copper, suggesting that the effects of magnesium, ZnCl2 and copper on P2x7R-associated pathophysiological events in humans might be predicted from those in mice.

P2X receptors are ligand-gated cation channels that mediate many of the extracellular actions of adenosine 5′-triphosphate and to date seven functional heteromultimers with pharmacological and/or biophysical properties that differ from the individual homomultims have been identified.

It is suggested that residues Lys-68, Phe-185, PHE-291, Arg-292, and Lys-309 contribute to ligand binding at P2X1 receptors, with P he-185 and Phe the291 coordinating the binding of the adenine ring of ATP.
