Abstract excerpt
Many hormones and sensory stimuli signal through a superfamily of seven transmembrane-spanning receptors to activate heterotrimeric G proteins. How the seven transmembrane segments of the receptors (a molecular architecture of bundled alpha-helices conserved from yeast to man) work as "on/off" switches remains unknown. Previously, we used random saturation mutagenesis coupled with a genetic selection in yeast to...
