Structural comparison of unconventional G protein YchF with heterotrimeric G protein and small G protein [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022 Guanine nucleotide-binding (G) proteins, namely, phosphate-binding (P) loop GTPases, play a critical role in life processes among different species. Based on the structural characteristics, G proteins can be divided into heterotrimeric G proteins, small ...

G Protein‐Coupled receptors and heterotrimeric G proteins as cancer drivers [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2020 G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) and heterotrimeric G proteins play central roles in a diverse array of cellular processes. As such, dysregulation of GPCRs and their coupled heterotrimeric G proteins can dramatically alter the signalling landscape and

Targeting G protein-coupled receptor signalling by blocking G proteins [PDF]
Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, 2018 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest class of drug targets, largely owing to their druggability, diversity and physiological efficacy. Many drugs selectively target specific subtypes of GPCRs, but high specificity for individual GPCRs may not be desirable in complex multifactorial disease states in which multiple receptors may be ...

Auriculocondylar syndrome 2 results from the dominant-negative action of PLCB4 variants
Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2022 Auriculocondylar syndrome 2 (ARCND2) is a rare autosomal dominant craniofacial malformation syndrome linked to multiple genetic variants in the coding sequence of phospholipase C β4 (PLCB4). PLCB4 is a direct signaling effector of the endothelin receptor
