Although the role of <scene name='72/721548/E166/4'>Glu166</scene> in G-protein activity is not quite as clear as it is for <scene name='72/721548/L310/3'>Leu310</scene> or <scene name='72/721547/Hydrophobic_binding_pocket/5'>Phe358</scene>, substituting this residue for an alanine significantly reduced '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_site catalytic]''' G-protein activity <ref name="SPGP"/>. Glu166 is part of a <scene name='72/721548/Dery_motif/2'>D/ERY motif</scene> that is highly conserved in class A GPCRs and includes Arg167 and Tyr168 | Although the role of <scene name='72/721548/E166/4'>Glu166</scene> in G-protein activity is not quite as clear as it is for <scene name='72/721548/L310/3'>Leu310</scene> or <scene name='72/721547/Hydrophobic_binding_pocket/5'>Phe358</scene>, substituting this residue for an alanine significantly reduced '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_site catalytic]''' G-protein activity <ref name="SPGP"/>. Glu166 is part of a <scene name='72/721548/Dery_motif/2'>D/ERY motif</scene> that is highly conserved in class A GPCRs and includes Arg167 and Tyr168. It's hypothesized <ref name="SPGP"/> that E166 in NTSR1 interacts with Val102, Thr101,and His105 to stabilize the G protein. An important connection between the D/ERY motif and intracellular loop 2 via M181, has also been hypothesized.<ref name="SPGP"/>. ICL2 plays a role in the dissociation of the receptor-G protein complex with GTP present.<ref name="SPGP"/> | ||
