Upon cell stimulation, mammalian cells activate various signaling proteins and lipids by recruiting their upstream regulators to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane (PM), which in turn determines their cellular response. Therefore, artificially inducing protein translocation to the PM is an effective strategy for dissecting cell signaling networks

An Alternative Mode of GPCR Transactivation: Activation of GPCRs by Adhesion GPCRs
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), critical for cellular communication and signaling, represent the largest cell surface protein family and play important roles in numerous pathophysiological processes. Consequently, GPCRs have become a primary focus in drug discovery efforts. Beyond their traditional G protein-dependent signaling pathways, GPCRs are

Catalysis in Chemical Modification of Proteins
Catalytic principles of synthetic organic chemistry have been increasingly applied to chemical modification of proteins during the recent years. This review article describes how seven types of catalytic systems —electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, metal catalysis, acid catalysis, organocatalysis, supramolecular catalysis, and heterogeneous catalysis ...

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of receptors in humans. GPCRs are seven-transmembrane receptors that are activated by the binding of a ligand to the extracellular domain. In addition to the endogenous ligands, auto-antibodies (aab) can also bind to the GPCRs.

A click‐mediated functionalization of a cyanine 5.5 bearing a terminal alkyne gave a rapid access to a library of ten new cyanine dyes and their corresponding dimers. A structure‐interaction relationship study led to the identification of an optimal dimer which was conjugated to the apelin‐17 ligand and enabled imaging of ApelinR under no‐wash ...

Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are diagnosed in 1/100 children worldwide, based on two core symptoms: deficits in social interaction and communication, and stereotyped behaviours. G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell‐surface receptors that transduce extracellular signals to convergent intracellular signalling ...

Non‐ionic detergents are key reagents for the characterization of membrane protein drug targets. Suitable detergents are commonly identified by trial and error, which leads to failed preparations and raising costs. Recent findings suggest that not only the chemistry of detergents but also the strategy with which detergents and proteins are brought ...

Gαq signalling from endosomes: A new conundrum
Abstract G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of membrane receptors, and are involved in the transmission of a variety of extracellular stimuli such as hormones, neurotransmitters, light and odorants into intracellular responses.

Harnessing Viral Proteases for Cellular and Molecular Engineering
Engineered viral proteases (VIPs) provide programmable control of protein function with high specificity and low toxicity. Integrated with chemogenetic and optogenetic modules, these VIP systems enable logic gate manipulation for targeted regulation of cell signaling, gene expression, protein secretion, and degradation, thereby offering versatile ...

Understanding GPCR dimerization
Initially G protein-coupled receptors, GPCRs, were thought to act as monomers, but recently strong evidence has been gathered indicating that they are capable of forming homo- and heterodimers or higher order oligomeric complexes, and that the dimerization phenomenon can modulate the pharmacological response and function of these receptors.
