Abstract excerpt
The properties of a Gs alpha mutant with an Asn substituted for Ser at position 54, designated mutant 54Asn alpha s, were studied after expression in S49 alpha s-deficient (cyc-) cells. Ser-54 in alpha s is comparable to Ser-17 in Ras, which is involved in binding Mg2+ associated with bound nucleotide. 54Asn alpha s did not restore either hormone-induced cyclic AMP production in intact cyc- cells or...
