Dynamics of Natural Killer cell receptor revealed by quantitative analysis of photoswitchable protein [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, Volume 105, 1-10, (2013), 2013 Natural Killer (NK) cell activation is dynamically regulated by numerous activating and inhibitory surface receptors that accumulate at the immune synapse. Quantitative analysis of receptor dynamics has been limited by methodologies which rely on indirect measurements such as fluorescence recovery after photobleaching.

G protein-coupled receptor signalling in astrocytes in health and disease: A focus on metabotropic glutamate receptors [PDF]
, 2012 Work published over the past 10–15 years has caused the neuroscience community to engage in a process of constant re-evaluation of the roles of glial cells in the mammalian central nervous system.

Powdered G-Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2016 Preparation and storage of functional membrane proteins such as G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are crucial to the processes of drug delivery and discovery. Here, we describe a method of preparing powdered GPCRs using rhodopsin as the prototype. We purified rhodopsin in CHAPS detergent with low detergent to protein ratio so the bulk of the sample ...

The riddle of the plant vacuolar sorting receptors [PDF]
Protoplasma 226 (12/2005) 103-8, 2006 Proteins synthesized on membrane-bound ribosomes are sorted at the Golgi apparatus level for delivery to various cellular destinations: the plasma membrane or the extracellular space, and the lytic vacuole or lysosome. Sorting involves the assembly of vesicles, which preferentially package soluble proteins with a common destination.

Multiple endocytic pathways of G protein-coupled receptors delineated by GIT1 sensitivity. [PDF]
, 2000 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 ...

Protein connectivity in chemotaxis receptor complexes [PDF]
, 2015 The chemotaxis sensory system allows bacteria such as Escherichia coli to swim towards nutrients and away from repellents. The underlying pathway is remarkably sensitive in detecting chemical gradients over a wide range of ambient concentrations. Interactions among receptors, which are predominantly clustered at the cell poles, are crucial to this ...

Monitoring oligomerization dynamics of individual human neurotensin receptors 1 in living cells and in SMALP nanodiscs [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The human neurotensin receptor 1 (NTSR1) is a G protein-coupled receptor. The receptor is activated by a small peptide ligand neurotensin. NTSR1 can be expressed in HEK cells by stable transfection. Previously we used the fluorescent protein markers mRuby3 or mNeonGreen fused to NTSR1 for EMCCD-based structured illumination microscopy (SIM) in living ...

Towards the convergent therapeutic potential of GPCRs in autism spectrum disorders [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Changes in genetic and/or environmental factors to developing neural circuits and subsequent synaptic functions are known to be a causative underlying the varied socio-emotional behavioural patterns associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) comprising the largest family of cell-surface ...

Optimal receptor-cluster size determined by intrinsic and extrinsic noise [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 83, 021914, (2011), 2011 Biological cells sense external chemical stimuli in their environment using cell-surface receptors. To increase the sensitivity of sensing, receptors often cluster, most noticeably in bacterial chemotaxis, a paradigm for signaling and sensing in general.
