Abstract excerpt
The expression of a constitutively active G protein-coupled receptor is expected to trigger diverse cellular changes ranging from normal to adaptive responses. We report that confluent HEK-293 cells stably expressing the constitutively active mutant N111G-AT1 receptor for angiotensin II spontaneously exhibited dramatic morphological changes and cytoskeletal reorganization. Phase-contrast microscopy revealed that...
