Abstract excerpt
Several domains of G protein alpha subunits are implicated in the control of receptor-G protein coupling specificity. Among these are the extreme N-and C-termini, the alpha4/beta6-loops, and the loop linking the N-terminal alpha-helix to the beta1-strand of the ras-like domain. In this study, we illustrate that single-point mutations of a highly conserved glycine residue within the linker I region of the...
