Alanine Exchanges of Polar Amino Acids in the Transmembrane Domains of a Platelet-activating Factor Receptor Generate Both Constitutively Active and Inactive Mutants

To determine ligand-binding sites of a platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor, alanine-scanning mutagenesis was carried out. All 23 polar amino acids in the putative 7-transmembrane (TM) domains of a guinea pig PAF receptor were individually replaced with alanine. The ligand-binding properties of...
