Abstract excerpt
To delineate the functional importance of the highly conserved triplet amino acid sequence, Asp-Arg-Tyr (DRY) among G protein-coupled receptors in the second intracellular loop, these residues of rat angiotensin II (Ang II) receptor type 1A (AT(1A)) were changed by alanine or glycine by site-directed mutagenesis. These mutant receptors were stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells, and the binding of Ang II, GTP effect,...
