Peptide ligand recognition by G protein-coupled receptors

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2015
The past few years have seen spectacular progress in the structure determination of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). We now have structural representatives from classes A, B, C, and F.

G Protein–Coupled Receptor Heteromers [PDF]

Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2016
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) compose one of the largest families of membrane proteins involved in intracellular signaling. They are involved in numerous physiological and pathological processes and are prime candidates for drug development. Over the past decade, an increasing number of studies have reported heteromerization between GPCRs.

Signal Transduction of Sphingosine-1-Phosphate G Protein—Coupled Receptors

The Scientific World Journal, 2006
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid capable of eliciting dramatic effects in a variety of cell types. Signaling by this molecule is by a family of five G protein—coupled receptors named S1P1–5 that signal through a variety of pathways to ...

G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinases Take Central Stage

Cells, 2022
The relevance of the family of G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) is based on its key participation in the regulation and intracellular dynamics of the largest family of membrane receptors, namely G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) [...]

Designer lipid-like peptides [PDF]

, 2011
A crucial bottleneck in membrane protein studies, particularly G-protein coupled receptors, is the notorious difficulty of finding an optimal detergent that can solubilize them and maintain their stability and function. Here we report rapid production of

G Protein-Coupled Receptors in Taste Physiology and Pharmacology

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Heterotrimeric G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) comprise the largest receptor family in mammals and are responsible for the regulation of most physiological functions.

G Protein–Coupled Receptor Deorphanizations [PDF]

Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2013
G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) are major regulators of intercellular interactions. They initiate these actions by being activated by a wide variety of natural ligands. Historically, ligands were discovered first, but the advent of molecular biology reversed this trend.

Functional expression of opioid receptors and other human GPCRs in yeast engineered to produce human sterols

Nature Communications, 2022
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is powerful for studying human G protein-coupled receptors as they can be coupled to its mating pathway. Here the authors engineer baker’s yeast to produce human sterols and show that vertebrate G protein coupled ...

Similarity between class A and class B G-protein-coupled receptors exemplified through calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor modelling and mutagenesis studies [PDF]

, 2012
Modelling class B G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) using class A GPCR structural templates is difficult due to lack of homology. The plant GPCR, GCR1, has homology to both class A and class B GPCRs. We have used this to generate a class A–

G-protein-coupled receptor kinases

Kidney International, 1996
beta-Adrenergic receptors are prototypes of the many G-protein-coupled receptors. Activation and inactivation of these receptors are regulated by multiple mechanisms which can affect either their function or their expression. The most obvious changes of such receptor systems are induced by activation of the receptors themselves by their respective ...
