When Leu310 was substituted with alanine, Arg167 was able to form a stabilizing hydrogen bonding network with Asn257, Ser164 and Gly306, which oriented Arg167 in a position that was unfavorable for contacting the G alpha subunit. When residue 310 was converted back to leucine, this hydrogen-bonding network was sterically unfavorable (Figure 3) and Arg167 interacted with the G alpha subunit leading to the transduction of several different signals involved in leptin signlaing, dopamine regulation, etc. <ref name="SPGP"/> <ref name="Mice"/><ref name="cancer"/><ref name="Schizophrenia"/> | ||
