240 Advances in Combinatorial Chemistry & High Throughput Screening, Vol. 1 Johnston et al.
We conducted a pilot screening assay in 96-well plates using baculovirus-infected
Sf9 cells to investigate the applicability of the M2-mAChR assay for high-
throughput screening. The screen was performed on the Library of
Pharmacologically Active Compounds (LOPAC; Sigma-Aldrich), with
compounds applied at a final concentration of 1 μM. Twelve documented
cholinergic agonists were detected with responses greater than 50% of the signal
observed with a saturating dose (10 nM) of oxotremorine. Representative
examples including the agonists arecoline, dioxolane, carbachol and the
antagonist atropine are annotated in Fig. (9). The Z-factor of the assay was
calculated as 0.62, indicative of a robust and sensitive screening assay [58]. The
compound TMB-8 (3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid 8-[diethylamino]octyl ester)
was also identified as an M2-mAChR agonist in our pilot screen. The peptide-
detection assay was then used to directly compare TMB-8 and carbachol for M2-
mAChR activation (Fig. 10A). In terms of G-protein agonism, the two compounds

subunits were
washed with phosphate-buffered saline and applied to DNA-Bind 96-well plates at a density of
500,000 cells per well. Compounds from the LOPAC library (Sigma-Aldrich) were applied at a
final concentration of 1 μM. Compound additions and washing steps were performed with an
automated liquid handling device (Tecan, Durham, NC). Results are depicted graphically, with a
‘hit’ being defined as a response greater than 50% of the signal observed with a saturating dose of
oxotremorine (10 nM).

were similar in potency, while the traditional agonist carabachol had a two-fold
greater efficacy. Antagonist competition experiments were consistent with this
data (Fig. 10B). As a positive control, we examined the guanine nucleotide
selectivity of the assay and demonstrated that G-protein activation could only be
detected in the presence of micromolar GTPS but not GDP (Fig. 10C). TMB-8
has previously been characterized as a muscarinic antagonist [59] and an allosteric
modulator of the M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor [60]. TMB-8 slows the
rate of binding and the dissociation of pre-bound acetylcholine from the M2
muscarinic receptor [61]. Our data are interesting in that they demonstrate that
TMB-8 has canonical agonist-like properties at the M2-mAChR with regard to G-
protein activation (Fig. 10A). However, we have not conducted the mechanistic
studies necessary to confirm or refute TMB-8 as an allosteric modulator of the
M2-mAChR. In this regard, it must be noted that TMB-8 has multiple
pharmacologic effects and targets, having been originally characterized as a
calcium anatagonist [62,63]. Therefore our discovery via this pilot, peptide-based
GPCR screen that TMB-8 is an agonist at the M2 muscarinic acetylcholine
receptor is a novel pharmacological finding.
CONCLUDING REMARKS
G-protein subunit binding peptides, identified by various screening methods, have
presented themselves as powerful research tools for studying target proteins
within vital signal transduction pathways. As described herein, these peptides
have numerous applications including:
(1) Serving as direct modulators of target protein activity.
(2) Providing structural insights into previously undefined mechanisms of target
protein function.
(3) Supplying a template for designing biosensors capable of reporting the
spatiotemporal dynamics of target protein signaling.
(4) Presenting a model for screening small molecule libraries to identify
inhibitors of target G-protein subunit activity and,
G-Protein Activation Advances in Combinatorial Chemistry & High Throughput Screening, Vol. 1 243
(5) Serving as the starting material for novel, non-radioactive assays for
measuring agonist and antagonist activity on GPCR/heterotrimer
complexes.
Recently, screening methods including phage-display and mRNA-display
techniques have successfully identified such peptides targeting both G and G
subunits [12,16,21,23,35,39,40]. These peptides have already given valuable
insights into various aspects of G-protein signaling and have been elegantly
applied in various scenarios just described. Continued efforts to identify novel
peptide sequences to additional G-protein subfamilies should afford further
discoveries into heterotrimer nucleotide cycling as well as future assay platforms
for receptor-mediated G-protein signaling.
