Characterization of functional roles of DRY motif in the 2nd intracellular loop of dopamine D2 and D3 receptors.

Abstract excerpt

Dopamine D(2)R and D(3)R (D(2)R, D(3)R) show very high sequence homology and employ virtually identical signaling pathways even though D(2)R is 2 approximately 5 times more active. Among the structural motifs identified, a triplet sequence, Asp-Arg-Tyr (DRY motif), plays critical roles in the determination of receptor conformations for signaling and intracellular trafficking of G protein-coupled receptors by...
