“…For example, the triplet of amino acid residues LLE (Leu-Leu-Glu) appears as a homology in five receptor heteromers: TLR1-TLR2, TLR2-TLR6, GABAB1-GA-BAB2, GABAB1-mGluR1, and GABAB1-CXCR4, but does not appear as a homology in any of known non-heteromers (GABAB2-A2A, A2A-D1, A1-D2, NTSR1-D1, TSHR-D2, KOP-MOP, and CD4-D2; see Tarakanov and Fuxe 2010). According to recent biochemical studies (Borroto-Escuela et al 2011a, b;Romero-Fernandez et al 2011), such triplets exist in the interacting domains forming the receptor interface and may be crucial for the formation of heteromers. This bioinformatic analysis has been continued in this work indicating for the first time that several triplet homologies of the GABAB1 receptor subunit of the GABAB receptor as well as protomers of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) heteromers and GPCR-RTK (receptor tyrosine kinase) heteromers may use triplets from TLRs.…”
