Alanine insertions into the glycophorin A transmembrane helix are found to disrupt helix-helix dimerization in a way that is fully consistent with earlier saturation mutagenesis data, suggesting that Ala-insertion scanning can be used to rapidly map the approximate location of structurally and/or functionally important segments in transmembrane helices.
研究发现,丙氨酸插入血型糖蛋白A跨膜螺旋中会破坏螺旋-螺旋二聚化,这种方式与早期的饱和诱变数据完全一致,这表明丙氨酸插入扫描可用于快速定位跨膜螺旋中结构和/或功能重要片段的大致位置。
