Abstract excerpt
Formyl peptide receptor (FPR) is a chemoattractant G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) involved in the innate immune response against bacteria. Receptor activation is terminated by receptor phosphorylation of two serine- and threonine-rich regions located in the distal half of the cytoplasmic tail. In this study we show that introduction of an amino acid with a bulky side chain (leucine or glutamine) adjacent to a...
