Abstract excerpt
The alpha-factor pheromone receptor (STE2) activates a G protein signal pathway that induces conjugation of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Previous studies implicated the third intracellular loop of this receptor in G protein activation. Therefore, the roles of transmembrane domains five and six (TMD5 and -6) that bracket the third intracellular loop were analyzed by scanning mutagenesis in which each...
