[H-3]Spiperone bound to D-2Short:G(alphao) with a pK(d) approximate to 10. Dopamine stimulated the binding of [S-35]guanosine-5'-O-(3-thio)triphosphate (GTPgammaS) to D-2Short:G(alphao) expressed with Gbeta(1)gamma(2) (E-max > 460%; pEC(50) 5.43 +/- 0.06). Most of the putative D-2 antagonists behaved as inverse agonists (suppressing basal [S-35]GTPgammaS binding) at D-2Short:G(alphao)/Gbeta(1)gamma(2) although (-)-suipiride and ziprasidone were neutral antagonists. Competition of [H-3]spiperone binding by dopamine and 10,11-dihydroxy-N-n-propylnorapo-morphine revealed two, binding sites of different affinities, even in the presence of GTP (100 muM). The D-2Short:G(alphao) fusion protein is therefore a good model for characterising D-2 receptors.
