The two-step model of receptor activation of chemokine receptor activation. The amino-terminus of the receptor (green ribbon diagram) is thought to tether the chemokine (space filled model) with high affinity, following which the chemokine N-terminus activates a ligand-binding pocket with the TM helices. The resulting conformational changes result in the recruitment of heterotrimeric G proteins and subsequent downstream signalling.
