Presence of carbohydrate binding modules in extracellular region of class C G-protein coupled receptors (C GPCR): An in silico investigation on sweet taste receptor.

In conclusion, presence of CBM in STR and, by extrapolation, in other C GPCR family members is suggested, similar to previously proposed sites in gut fungal C GPCRs, through transcriptome analyses. STR modes of interaction with carbohydrates are also discussed and characteristics of non-covalent interactions in C GPCR family are highlighted. PMID: 31894119 [PubMed - in process]
