Novel mechanisms of G-protein-coupled receptors functions: AT1 angiotensin receptor acts as a signaling hub and focal point of receptor cross-talk [PDF]
, 2018 AT1 angiotensin receptor (AT1R), a prototypical G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), is the main receptor, which mediates the effects of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS).

Heteroreceptor complexes and their allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in the central nervous system. Focus on examples from Dopamine D2 and Serotonin 5-HT1a receptors [PDF]
, 2018 GPCR interacting proteins (specially β- arrestin) and their receptor-protein interactions are also covered but their interactions with the allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in heteroreceptor complexes remain to be elucidated.

GRK et arrestines : la piste thérapeutique ? [PDF]
, 2006 La phosphorylation d’un récepteur couplé aux protéines G (RCPG) par une kinase spécifique, nommée GRK (G protein-coupled receptor kinase), est une première étape qui participe, avec l’action des arrestines, à l’arrêt de la transmission du signal, au ...

Tailoring therapy for heart failure: the pharmacogenomics of adrenergic receptor signaling. [PDF]
, 2014 Heart failure is one of the leading causes of mortality in Western countries, and β-blockers are a cornerstone of its treatment. However, the response to these drugs is variable among individuals, which might be explained, at least in part, by genetic ...

Negative impact of β-arrestin-1 on post-myocardial infarction heart failure via cardiac and adrenal-dependent neurohormonal mechanisms [PDF]
, 2014 β-Arrestin (βarr)-1 and β-arrestin-2 (βarrs) are universal G-protein-coupled receptor adapter proteins that negatively regulate cardiac β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) function via βAR desensitization and downregulation.

β-adrenergic receptors and G protein-coupled receptor kinase-2 in Alzheimer's disease: a new paradigm for prognosis and therapy? [PDF]
, 2013 Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating form of dementia that imposes a severe burden on health systems and society. Although several aspects of AD pathogenesis have been elucidated over the last few decades, many questions still need to be addressed ...

Contribution of the sympathetic nervous system to the pathogenesis of salt-sensitive hypertension [PDF]
, 2016 Dysregulation of the sodium-chloride cotransporter (NCC) is believed to significantly impact blood pressure. Recent studies have implicated overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system as a mechanism driving renal NCC dysregulation to evoke the ...

Mapping the druggable allosteric space of G-protein coupled receptors: a fragment-based molecular dynamics approach. [PDF]
, 2010 To address the problem of specificity in G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) drug discovery, there has been tremendous recent interest in allosteric drugs that bind at sites topographically distinct from the orthosteric site. Unfortunately, structure-based
