Hierarchical classification of G-protein-coupled receptors with a PSO/ACO algorithm [PDF]

, 2006
In our previous work we have proposed a hybrid Particle Swarm Optimisation / Ant Colony Optimisation (PSO/ACO) algorithm for discovering classification rules.

RINGdb: An integrated database for G protein-coupled receptors and regulators of G protein signaling

BMC Genomics, 2006
Background Many marketed therapeutic agents have been developed to modulate the function of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The regulators of G-protein signaling (RGS proteins) are also being examined as potential drug targets.

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Adhesion GPCRs are widely expressed throughout the subsections of the gastrointestinal tract [PDF]

, 2012
Background: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent one of the largest families of transmembrane receptors and the most common drug target. The Adhesion subfamily is the second largest one of GPCRs and its several members are known to mediate ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Receptor for activated C kinase-1 facilitates protein kinase C-dependent phosphorylation and functional modulation of GABA(A) receptors with the activation of G-protein-coupled receptors [PDF]

, 2002
GABA(A) receptors are the principal sites of fast synaptic inhibition in the brain. These receptors are hetero-pentamers that can be assembled from a number of subunit classes: alpha(1-6), beta(1-3), gamma(1-3), delta(1), epsilon, theta, and pi, but the ...

Mas-Related G-Protein-Coupled Receptors: Emerging Roles in Neuropathic Pain

Biomolecules
Mas-related G-protein-coupled receptors constitute a distinct family of GPCRs expressed in some subsets of sensory neurons and immune cells. Increasing evidence highlights their contribution to the modulation of nociceptive signaling and neuroimmune ...

G Protein-Coupled Receptors in the Mammalian Blood-Brain Barrier

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020
The mammalian neurovascular unit (NVU) is comprised of neurons, glia, and vascular cells. The NVU is the nexus between the cardiovascular and central nervous system (CNS).

An epithelial GPR35 isoform supports tumor‐associated transcriptional and metabolic phenotypes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
GPR35 generates two functionally distinct isoforms with previously unresolved roles. GPR35‐short mediates immune‐cell chemotaxis, while GPR35‐long is enriched in colorectal cancer epithelium, where it supports increased metabolism, proliferation, and tumor‐associated transcriptional programs.

Investigations on neuropeptide Y and histamine receptors by fluorescence-based and radiochemical methods [PDF]

, 2011
In the last three decades, a large amount of experimental data (for example Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) at fluorescently labelled receptors) supported the hypothesis of the dimerization of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), including ...
