Abstract excerpt
The rat lutropin/choriogonadotropin receptor (rLHR) is a member of the rhodopsin-like subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors that has two adjacent dileucine motifs in the C-terminal cytoplasmic tail. Here we show that simultaneous (L613,614,615,616A) or individual (L613,L614A or L615,616A) mutation of the two adjacent dileucine motifs to alanines results in mutants with enhanced rates of agonist-induced...
