A G-Protein Coupled Receptor and Macular Degeneration
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,

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

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

Multiple endocytic pathways of G protein-coupled receptors delineated by GIT1 sensitivity. [PDF]
Recently, we identified a GTPase-activating protein for the ADP ribosylation factor family of small GTP-binding proteins that we call GIT1. This protein initially was identified as an interacting partner for the G protein-coupled receptor kinases, and ...

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

G PROTEIN–COUPLED RECEPTOR KINASES [PDF]
G protein–coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) constitute a family of six mammalian serine/threonine protein kinases that phosphorylate agonist-bound, or activated, G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) as their primary substrates. GRK-mediated receptor phosphorylation rapidly initiates profound impairment of receptor signaling, or desensitization.

Receptor Quaternary Organization Explains G Protein-Coupled Receptor Family Structure
The organization of Rhodopsin-family G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) at the cell surface is controversial. Support both for and against the existence of dimers has been obtained in studies of mostly individual receptors.

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

G-protein coupled receptor structure
Because of their central role in regulation of cellular function, structure/function relationships for G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) are of vital importance, yet only recently have sufficient data been obtained to begin mapping those relationships. GPCRs regulate a wide range of cellular processes, including the senses of taste, smell, and vision,
