Abstract excerpt
The carboxyl termini of alpha subunits of mammalian G proteins have been implicated in receptor interactions. We have used a genetic analysis to test such a role for the carboxyl terminus of Scg1, the alpha subunit involved in the yeast pheromone response pathway. A 22-amino-acid truncation (scg1Amb451) resulted in defects in growth and cellular morphology. This phenotype is similar to the null phenotype and...
