Abstract excerpt
Adenylylcyclase cannot be activated by hormones or guanine nucleotide analogs in membranes from cells that express the G226A mutant form Gs alpha instead of the wild-type protein. The mutant Gs alpha protein appears incapable of undergoing the conformational change necessary for guanine nucleotide-induced dissociation of the G protein alpha subunit from the beta gamma subunit complex (Miller, R.T., Masters, S.B.,...
