Probing biophysical sequence constraints within the transmembrane domains of rhodopsin by deep mutational scanning.

abstract：:In this study, we report the existence of a communication system among human smooth muscle cells that uses mechanical forces to frequency modulate long-range calcium waves. An important consequence of this mechanical signaling is that changes in stiffness of the underlying extracellular matrix can interfere with the f...
