Abstract excerpt
Pro258 in transmembrane domain (TMD) 6 of the bradykinin (BK) B(2) receptor (B(2)R) is highly conserved among G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Using mutagenesis, we show that Pro258 is required for normal trafficking of the receptor to the plasma membrane and that mutation of Pro258 to Ala or Leu but not Gly, enhances BK efficacy to induce receptor activation. Furthermore, P258A mutation suppresses the...
