Abstract excerpt
To gain insight in spontaneous as well as agonist-induced activation of the human adenosine A2B receptor, we applied a random mutagenesis approach in yeast to create a large number of receptor mutants and selected mutants of interest with a robust screening assay based on growth. The amino acid sequence of 14 mutated receptors was determined. All these mutated receptors displayed constitutive activity. In...
