One of these proteins from the T1R family possesses a VFT module that can close around glutamate. During homologous desensitization, examples of these proteins with phosphorylated tails are targeted for endocytosis after being bound to beta-arrestin. Robert Lefkowitz and Brian Kobilka were awarded a Nobel Prize for their research on one of these proteins that binds to epinephrine. Retinal acts as a chromophore in many light-sensitive kinds of these proteins named (*) opsins. A heterotrimeric complex induces adenylyl cyclase to synthesize cAMP following activation of one of these proteins. These proteins characteristically contain seven transmembrane alpha-helical regions. For 10 points, name these proteins that operate in conjunction with G-proteins to initiate signal transduction. ■END■
