ARTD10/PARP10 Induces ADP-Ribosylation of GAPDH and Recruits GAPDH into Cytosolic Membrane-Free Cell Bodies When Overexpressed in Mammalian Cells

Challenges, 2018
Protein ADP-ribosylation is a reversible post-translational modification of cellular proteins that is catalysed by enzymes that transfer one (mono) or several (poly) units of ADP-ribose from β-NAD+ to a specific amino acid of the target protein. The

Cryo-EM structure of the human somatostatin receptor 2 complex with its agonist somatostatin delineates the ligand-binding specificity

eLife, 2022
Somatostatin is a peptide hormone that regulates endocrine systems by binding to G-protein-coupled somatostatin receptors. Somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) is a human somatostatin receptor and is highly implicated in hormone disorders, cancers, and ...

Cryo‐EM structure of G‐protein‐coupled receptor GPR17 in complex with inhibitory G protein

MedComm, 2022
GPR17 is a class A orphan G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) expressed in neurons and oligodendrocyte progenitors of the central nervous system (CNS). The signalling of GPR17 occurs through the heterotrimeric Gi, but its activation mechanism is unclear ...

REGA-SIGN: Development of a Novel Set of NanoBRET-Based G Protein Biosensors

Biosensors, 2023
Despite G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) being important theapeutic targets, the signaling properties of many GPCRs remain poorly characterized. GPCR activation primarily initiates heterotrimeric G protein signaling. To detect ligand-induced G protein

Multi-Omics Analysis of Multiple Glucose-Sensing Receptor Systems in Yeast

Biomolecules, 2022
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has long been used to produce alcohol from glucose and other sugars. While much is known about glucose metabolism, relatively little is known about the receptors and signaling pathways that indicate glucose availability.

Watching G proteins at work [PDF]

Trends in Neurosciences, 1990
It has been known for over a century that rod photoreceptors in the living retina contract and swell in response to light. Although it is still not known whether this structural light-response is of any functional significance, it has recently been possible to correlate the underlying molecular processes with the activation and deactivation of the ...
