Abstract excerpt
Mutations counterpart to dominant negative RasSer17Asn in the alpha-subunits of heterotrimeric G-proteins are known to also produce dominant negative effects. The mechanism of these mutations remains poorly understood. Here, we examined the effects and mechanism of the Ser43Cys and Ser43Asn mutants of transducin-like chimeric Gtalpha* in the visual signaling system. Our analysis showed that both mutants have...
