Crystal structure of rhodopsin bound to arrestin by femtosecond X-ray laser. [PDF]

, 2015
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) signal primarily through G proteins or arrestins. Arrestin binding to GPCRs blocks G protein interaction and redirects signalling to numerous G-protein-independent pathways.

The mutational landscape of human olfactory G protein-coupled receptors

BMC Biology, 2021
Background Olfactory receptors (ORs) constitute a large family of sensory proteins that enable us to recognize a wide range of chemical volatiles in the environment.

G Protein–Coupled Receptor Rhodopsin [PDF]

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2006
The rhodopsin crystal structure provides a structural basis for understanding the function of this and other G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs). The major structural motifs observed for rhodopsin are expected to carry over to other GPCRs, and the mechanism of transformation of the receptor from inactive to active forms is thus likely conserved ...

G‐protein‐coupled receptors and melanoma [PDF]

Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research, 2008
SummaryG‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCR) are the largest family of receptors with over 500 members. Evaluation of GPCR gene expression in primary human tumors identified over‐expression of GPCR in several tumor types. Analysis of cancer samples in different disease stages also suggests that some GPCR may be involved in early tumor progression and ...

G protein-coupled receptors in neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders

Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2023
Neuropsychiatric disorders are multifactorial disorders with diverse aetiological factors. Identifying treatment targets is challenging because the diseases are resulting from heterogeneous biological, genetic, and environmental factors.

Design and characterization of superpotent bivalent ligands targeting oxytocin receptor dimers via a channel-like structure [PDF]

, 2016
Dimeric/oligomeric states of G-protein coupled receptors have been difficult to target. We report here bivalent ligands consisting of two identical oxytocin-mimetics that induce a three order magnitude boost in G-protein signaling of oxytocin receptors ...

Genetic Polymorphisms of Prokineticins and Prokineticin Receptors Associated with Human Disease

Life
Prokineticins (PKs) are low molecular weight proteins that exert their effects by binding to two seven-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptors (prokineticin receptors, PKRs).
