Abstract

Rearrangement of transmembrane domains (TMs) 3 and 5 after agonist binding is necessary for stabilization of the active state of class A G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Using sitedirected mutagenesis and functional assays, we provide the first evidence that the TAS(I/V) sequence motif at positions 3.37 to 3.40, highly conserved in aminergic receptors, plays a key role in the activation of the histamine H
