Abstract excerpt
The mechanism by which receptors activate G proteins is unclear because a connection between the receptor and the nucleotide binding site has not been established. To investigate this mechanism, we evaluated the roles in receptor interaction of three potential receptor contact sites in alpha(s): the alpha2/beta4, alpha3/beta5, and alpha4/beta6 loops. Substitutions of alpha(i2) homologs for alpha(s) residues in...
