Lysophospholipid G Protein-coupled Receptors [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004
The many biological responses documented for lysophospholipids that include lysophosphatidic acid and sphingosine 1-phosphate can be mechanistically attributed to signaling through specific G protein-coupled receptors. At least nine receptors have now been identified, and the total number is likely to be larger.

Creation of photocyclic vertebrate rhodopsin by single amino acid substitution

eLife, 2022
Opsins are universal photoreceptive proteins in animals and can be classified into three types based on their photoreaction properties. Upon light irradiation, vertebrate rhodopsin forms a metastable active state, which cannot revert back to the original

C-terminal threonines and serines play distinct roles in the desensitization of rhodopsin, a G protein-coupled receptor

eLife, 2015
Rod photoreceptors generate measurable responses to single-photon activation of individual molecules of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), rhodopsin.

Regulation of the Hippo-YAP pathway by G-protein coupled receptor signaling

Cell, 2012
SUMMARY The Hippo pathway is crucial in organ size control and its dysregulation contributes to tumorigenesis. However, upstream signals that regulate the mammalian Hippo pathway have remained elusive.

A G-Protein Coupled Receptor and Macular Degeneration

Cells, 2020
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. The risk of AMD increases with age and is most common among the white population. Here, we discuss the convergence of factors related to race, pigmentation,

G-Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a huge family of membrane receptors to numerous hormones, neurotransmitters and diverse compounds. A large part of cardiovascular and neurological pharmacology is based upon the knowledge of these receptors and on the identification of molecules able to interfere with them, in an agonistic or antagonistic ...

Regulation Role of Non-Rhodopsin G Protein-coupled Receptor Kinases on Tumor

Zhongliu Fangzhi Yanjiu, 2019
G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) are involved in a wide range of cellular physiology and pathological activities by specifically phosphorylating activated G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) to terminate GPCR signaling and phosphorylating non ...

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.

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

A G Protein-coupled Receptor Responsive to Bile Acids*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2003
So far some nuclear receptors for bile acids have been identified. However, no cell surface receptor for bile acids has yet been reported. We found that a novel G protein-coupled receptor, TGR5, is responsive to bile acids as a cell-surface receptor ...
