    β-Arrestin recruitment analysis. (a) PRESTO-TANGO assay schematic: a ligand binds a chimeric DRD2 receptor, which then recruits β-arrestin fused with a TEV protease. The protease cuts a site between the receptor and a fused transcription factor, which then transits to the nuclease to initiate transcription of a luciferase gene. The luciferase activity is subsequently quantified. (b) Agonism of β-arrestin recruitment is quantified in EC 50 curves via the detection of luciferase activity, using a Hill slope of 1.0.

    Photo-cross-linking of dye-clicked probe: confocal microscopy. (a) Schematic of the methodology used in the labeling process. Cells stably expressing DRD2 fused to an N-terminal Strep Tag II are treated with DRD2-targeting probes 5 or 7 at 5 μM, photo-cross-linked, and excess probe is washed out. An Alexa Fluor 555 azide is then clicked to the probe, washed out, and cells are treated with an anti-Strep-Tag II antibody and fluorescent secondary to visualize DRD2. Nuclei were stained with DAPI. (b) Confocal microscopy results of labeled cells. All probes show some degree of labeling. However, probes 5 and 7 show a notable increase in the labeling density. Images taken with 40× magnification, scale bar: 10 μm.

    The primary sequence of mouse dopamine D2 receptor long ( left ) and short ( right ) isoforms. Amino acid sequences in red letters are specifically expressed in the long type. The dopamine D2 receptor short isoform ( right ) lacks these 29 amino acid sequences, which interact with fatty acid-binding protein 3 (FABP3).
