Nathan,

I'm not sure how far you've read along for this project yet, but are
you aware of the GPCR-Gpa1 fusion strategy for splicing ~arbitrary
metazoans GPCRs into the yeast pheromone sensing pathway?  This allows
one to assay receptor activity using a yeast pheromone reporter strain
(lacZ or GFP).  Many such chimeric strains have been produced to date.

Here are a few open links:
