G protein-coupled seven-transmembrane-containing receptors, such as the N-formyl peptide receptor (FPR) of neutrophils, likely undergo a conformational change upon binding of ligand, which enables the receptor to transmit a signal to G proteins. We have examined the functional significance of numerous conserved charged amino acid residues proposed to be located ... More
