get help please with this question?  Two mutations have occurred to proteins within the glucagon signaling pathway: A) The glucagon receptor has a mutation. This mutation causes this GPCR to always have a conformation that will induce nucleotide exchange for any associated heterotrimeric G proteins, even without glucagon binding to the receptor.  B) The alpha subunit of the heterotrimeric G protein has a mutation. This mutation causes the Gαarginine finger to always be in a position to properly order the catalytic residues within the Gαsubunit to promote catalysis. Question: What will the combined effect of both mutations be on the signaling pathway and what is the mechanistic reason for this effect
