Abstract excerpt
The functional consequences of the mutation of a conserved Cys-214 in Galpha(i1) have been investigated. We reported herein that substitutions of Cys-214 of Galpha(i1) to either alanine or tryptophan abolished the intrinsic GTPase activity. Free phosphate release from [32P]GTP-bound Galpha(i1) C214A or [32P]GTP-bound Galpha(i1) C214W was at least 30-fold lower than that of the wild-type Galpha(i1) in...
