Abstract

It has been proposed that G protein interacts with receptor via multiple interaction sites. With regard to this, C-terminus of the G${\alpha}$ subunit is clearly not the only structural determinant on the G proteins that is critical for receptor coupling selectivity, but the extreme N-terminus of Ga subunit and other structural elements were proposed to be responsible for dictating the interaction with receptors.
