Abstract excerpt
We showed previously that Phe(303) in transmembrane segment (TM) VI of the alpha(1B)-adrenergic receptor, a highly conserved residue in G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), is critically involved in receptor-activation and G-protein-coupling [Chen, S. H., Lin, F., Xu, M., Hwa, J., and Graham, R. M. (2000) EMBO J. 19, 4265-4271]. Here, we show that saturation mutagenesis of Phe(303) results in a series of mutants...
