Abstract excerpt
Despite extensive study of heptahelical G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the precise mechanism of G protein activation is unknown. The role of one highly conserved stretch of residues, the amino acids glutamic acid/aspartic acid-arginine-tyrosine (i.e., the E/DRY motif), has received considerable attention with respect to regulating GPCR conformational states. In the consensus view, glutamic acid/aspartic...
