Abstract excerpt
To explore peptide hormone-induced conformational changes, we attempted to engineer a metal-ion binding site between the cytoplasmic loops CD and EF in the angiotensin II type 1 (AT(1)) receptor. We constructed 12 double and six triple histidine mutant receptors, and tested the ability of each mutant and the wild-type to activate inositol phosphate (IP) production with and without ZnCl(2). Inhibition by ZnCl(2)...
