Regulation of human formyl peptide receptor 1 synthesis: role of single nucleotide polymorphisms, transcription factors, and inflammatory mediators. [PDF]
The gene encoding the human formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) is heterogeneous, containing numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Here, we examine the effect of these SNPs on gene transcription and protein translation.

A neutrophil inhibitory pepducin derived from FPR1 expected to target FPR1 signaling hijacks the closely related FPR2 instead [PDF]
Pepducins constitute a unique class of G‐protein coupled receptor (GPCR) modulating lipopeptides. Pepducins with inhibitory effects on neutrophils could potentially be developed into anti‐inflammatory pharmaceuticals. A pepducin with a peptide sequence identical to the third intracellular loop of FPR1 was found to inhibit neutrophil functions including

N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLF) is a model PAMP/DAMP driving human PMN to sites of injury/infection utilizing the GPCR, FPR1. We examined a microtiter plate format for measurement of FPR1 phosphorylation in adherent PMN at high densities and found that a new

Molecular recognition of formylpeptides and diverse agonists by the formylpeptide receptors FPR1 and FPR2 [PDF]
AbstractThe formylpeptide receptors (FPRs) mediate pattern recognition of formylated peptides derived from invading pathogens or mitochondria from dead host cells. They can also sense other structurally distinct native peptides and even lipid mediators to either promote or resolve inflammation.

Formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) mediates bacterial and mitochondrial N-formyl peptides-induced neutrophil activation. Therefore, FPR1 is an important therapeutic target for drugs to treat septic or sterile inflammatory diseases.

Fpr1 (FK506-sensitive proline rotamase 1), a protein of the FKBP12 (FK506-binding protein 12 kDa) family in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a primary target for the immunosuppressive agents FK506 and rapamycin. Fpr1 inhibits calcineurin and TORC1 (target of

Cyclization of the urokinase receptor-derived ser-arg-ser-arg-tyr Peptide generates a potent inhibitor of trans-endothelial migration of monocytes. [PDF]
The receptor for the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPAR) is a widely recognized master regulator of cell migration and uPAR88-92 is the minimal sequence required to induce cell motility. We and others have previously documented that the uPAR88-92

Neutrophil Infiltration of the Colon Is Independent of the FPR1 yet FPR1 Deficient Mice Show Differential Susceptibilities to Acute Versus Chronic Induced Colitis [PDF]
The receptor for formylated peptides, formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1), potently activates and serves as a chemoattractant receptor for neutrophils.Given the abundance of neutrophils in the inflamed colon, our aim was to determine if the FPR1 mediates colonic neutrophil migration, using the dextran sodium sulfate (DDS)-induced model of colitis.Formyl ...

Rs867228 in FPR1 accelerates the manifestation of luminal B breast cancer
Formyl peptide receptor-1 (FPR1) is a pathogen recognition receptor involved in the detection of bacteria, in the control of inflammation, as well as in cancer immunosurveillance. A single nucleotide polymorphism in FPR1, rs867228, provokes a loss-of-function phenotype.
