W321, which is positioned at the bottom of the hydrophobic pocket(green link from allie) sets the top of the Na+ ion binding pocket. The Na+ ion binding pocket acts as a negative allosteric site for G protein activity. When Na+ enters the Na+ ion binding pocket, it interacts with Asp 113, and shuts down the activity of the protein. When the G protein is in its active state, the Na+ ion binding pocket is collapsed, preventing the entrance of Na+. | |||
