Abstract excerpt
Several examples of G protein-coupled receptors have recently been suggested to respond to common sugars in millimolar concentrations. This low affinity has made it difficult to demonstrate direct receptor-ligand interaction. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, rapid activation of the cAMP pathway by glucose and sucrose requires the GPCR Gpr1. Our results obtained by cysteine scanning mutagenesis and SCAM...
