C-terminal threonines and serines play distinct roles in the desensitization of rhodopsin, a G protein-coupled receptor
Rod photoreceptors generate measurable responses to single-photon activation of individual molecules of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), rhodopsin. Timely rhodopsin desensitization depends on phosphorylation and arrestin binding, which quenches G protein activation. Rhodopsin phosphorylation h...
