An artificial immune system for clustering amino acids in the context of protein function classification [PDF]
, 2009 This paper addresses the classification task of data mining (a form of supervised learning) in the context of an important bioinformatics problem, namely the prediction of protein functions.

GATA Factor-G-Protein-Coupled Receptor Circuit Suppresses Hematopoiesis
Stem Cell Reports, 2016 Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) originate from hemogenic endothelium within the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region of the mammalian embryo. The relationship between genetic circuits controlling stem cell genesis and multi-potency is not understood.

Mechanisms of adrenocorticotropin-induced activation of erk 1/2 map kinase in the human H295R adrenal cell line [PDF]
, 2008 PhDThe role of ACTH in stimulating or inhibiting growth of adrenal cells has been a subject of some controversy. Reports that ACTH may stimulate Erk/MAP kinase in Y1 cells have suggested a role for cAMP in this process.

Succinate and its G-protein-coupled receptor stimulates osteoclastogenesis
Nature Communications, 2017 Bone loss is common in patients with diabetes, but the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms are unclear. Here the authors show high succinate levels in mice with type 2 diabetes and that succinate can signal through succinate receptor 1 on ...

Dynamic tuneable G protein-coupled receptor monomer-dimer populations
Nature Communications, 2018 Evidence suggests oligomerisation of G protein-coupled receptors in membranes, but this is controversial. Here, authors use single-molecule and ensemble FRET, and spectroscopy to show that the neurotensin receptor 1 forms multiple dimer conformations ...

G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 promotes cardiac hypertrophy.
PLoS ONE, 2017 The increase in protein activity and upregulation of G-protein coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is a hallmark of cardiac stress and heart failure. Inhibition of GRK2 improved cardiac function and survival and diminished cardiac remodeling in various ...

Whole body deletion of Gpr68 does not change hematopoietic stem cell function
Stem Cell Research, 2020 G protein-coupled receptor 68 (GPR68) responds to extracellular protons, thus called the proton-sensing G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), leading to activation of the phospholipase C-β (PLCβ)/calcium (Ca2+) pathway or the adenylyl cyclase (AC)/cyclic ...

G Protein-Coupled Receptors in Macrophages
Microbiology Spectrum, 2016 ABSTRACTAs the largest receptor gene family in the human genome, with >800 members, the signal-transducing G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play critical roles in nearly all conceivable physiological processes, ranging from the sensing of photons and odorants to metabolic homeostasis and migration of leukocytes.
