CA 2426859

The invention provides insect cell-based systems for assaying G-protein- coupled receptor interactions. The insect cells may express a heterologous mammalian G-protein-coupled receptor, a heterologous G alpha protein and one or more insect effector proteins that couple the heterologous G alpha protein to an endogenous insect signalling pathway. In such systems, binding of a ligand to the heterologous G-protein coupled receptor mediates a detectable change in the insect cell. The protein components of the system may be expressed from coding sequences that are stably maintained by transformed insect cells.

La présente invention concerne des systèmes à base de cellules d'insectes permettant un essai des interactions concernant les récepteurs couplés aux protéines G. Ces cellules d'insectes peuvent exprimer un récepteur mammalien hétérologue couplé aux protéines G, une protéine G .alpha. hétérologue, et au moins une protéine effectrice d'insecte se couplant la protéine G .alpha. hétérologue à un chemin de signalisation d'insecte endogène. Dans de tels systèmes, la liaison d'un ligand au récepteur couplé aux protéines G hétérologues est le médiateur d'un changement détectable dans la cellule d'insecte. Les composants protéiques du système peuvent s'exprimer à partir de séquences codantes entretenues de façon stable par des cellules d'insectes transformées.
