Measurement of the ability of various ligands to inhibit [35S]GTPγS binding was performed as described underExperimental Procedures. Curves were fitted to a sigmoidal dose response curve with the Hill slope = −1 (GraphPad Prism; GraphPad, San Diego, CA). Values are the mean ± S.E.M. of three to five experiments.
