Characterization of a new WHIM syndrome mutant reveals mechanistic differences in regulation of the chemokine receptor gain-of-function mutations that lead to C-terminal truncations, frame shifts and point mutations in the chemokine receptor Interestingly, there were also significant differences in receptor degradation, with S339fs5 having a phosphorylation, β-arrestin binding and endocytosis, and a very high basal rate of degradation that is not protected

12 different G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) through selective coupling of Gs, Gi, or Gq proteins The structural basis for G protein subtype selectivity by these GPCRs remains elusive. We find that the macro-switch by the TM5-TM6 length is shared by class A GPCR-G protein structures. Together, these results present a common mechanism of Gs versus Gi protein coupling selectivity or promiscuity by class A GPCRs and extend the basis of ligand recognition at serotonin receptors."
