Abstract excerpt
The alpha-mating pheromone receptor encoded by the yeast STE2 gene is a G protein coupled receptor that initiates signaling via a MAP kinase pathway that prepares haploid cells for mating. To establish the range of allowed amino acid substitutions within transmembrane segments of this receptor, we conducted extensive random mutagenesis of receptors followed by screening for receptor function. A total of 157 amino...
