Divergent roles of DRY and NPxxY motifs in selective activation of downstream signalling by the apelin receptor.

Abstract excerpt

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) serve as critical communication hubs, translating a wide range of extracellular signals into intracellular responses that govern numerous physiological processes. In class-A GPCRs, conserved motifs mediate conformational changes of the active states of the receptor, and signal transduction is achieved by selectively binding to Gα proteins and/or adapter protein, arrestin....
