Abstract excerpt
The function of the helix VII Tyr in the conserved Asn-Pro-X-X-Tyr segment of rhodopsin-like G protein coupled receptors has been investigated in many receptors. Various effects of site-directed mutation of this locus have been found, including altered coupling, sequestration and agonist affinity. We report the first constitutively active mutations of this Tyr. In the serotonin 5HT(2C) receptor, substituting Ala...
