摘要: The structure of a heterotrimeric G protein reveals the mechanism nucleotide-dependent engagement α and βγ subunits that regulates their interaction with receptor effector molecules. involves two distinct interfaces dramatically alters conformation αbut not theβγ subunits. location known sites for posttranslational modification coupling suggest plausible orientation respect to membrane surface an activated heptahelical receptor.
