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

On the hierarchical classification of G Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]
Motivation: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play an important role in many physiological systems by transducing an extracellular signal into an intracellular response. Over 50% of all marketed drugs are targeted towards a GPCR.

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.

Crystallization of G Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]
Oligomerization is one of several mechanisms that can regulate the activity of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), but little is known about the structure of GPCR oligomers. Crystallography and NMR are the only methods able to reveal the details of receptor-receptor interactions at an atomic level, and several GPCR homodimers already have been ...

Regulators of G protein signalling proteins in the human myometrium [PDF]
The contractile state of the human myometrium is controlled by extracellular signals that promote relaxation or contraction. Many of these signals function through G proteincoupled receptors at the cell surface, stimulating heterotrimeric G proteins and ...

© 2020 The Authors Alterations in signalling due to bidirectional transactivation of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCRs) and receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are well established. Transactivation significantly diversifies signalling networks within a cell

G Protein–Coupled Receptor Heteromers [PDF]
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.

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 ...
