Abstract excerpt
Proline residues are thought to play a characteristic structural and/or dynamic role in various membrane proteins [Williams, K.A. & Deber, C.M. (1991) Biochemistry 30, 8919-8923]. By use of site-directed mutagenesis and functional expression of mutant glucose transporters in Xenopus oocytes, we investigated the effects of single proline substitutions in the putative helices 6 and 10 on GLUT1-mediated glucose...
