Abstract excerpt
G proteins transmit signals from cell surface receptors to intracellular effectors. The intensity of the signal is governed by the rates of GTP binding (leading to subunit dissociation) and hydrolysis. Mutants that cannot hydrolyze GTP (e.g. GsalphaQ227L, Gi2alphaQ205L) are constitutively activated and can lead to cell transformation and cancer. Here we have used a genetic screen to identify intragenic...
