Inactive-state preassembly of Gq-coupled receptors and Gq heterotrimers
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) transmit signals by forming active-state complexes with heterotrimeric G proteins. It has been suggested that some GPCRs also assemble with G proteins prior to ligand-induced activation, and that inactive-state preassembly facilitates rapid and specific G protein...
