Gi- and Gs-coupled GPCRs show different modes of G-protein binding. [PDF]
, 2018 More than two decades ago, the activation mechanism for the membrane-bound photoreceptor and prototypical G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) rhodopsin was uncovered.

Molecular mechanism of Gαi activation by non-GPCR proteins with a Gα-Binding and Activating motif [PDF]
, 2017 Heterotrimeric G proteins are quintessential signalling switches activated by nucleotide exchange on Gα. Although activation is predominantly carried out by G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), non-receptor guanine-nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) have

Expression of an atrial G-protein-activated potassium channel in Xenopus oocytes [PDF]
, 1993 Injection of rat atrial RNA into Xenopus oocytes resulted in the expression of a guanine nucleotide binding (G) protein-activated K+ channel. Current through the channel could be activated by acetylcholine or, if RNA encoding a neuronal 5HT1A receptor ...

A Peptide Core Motif for Binding to Heterotrimeric G Protein α Subunits [PDF]
, 2005 Recently, in vitro selection using mRNA display was used to identify a novel peptide sequence that binds with high affinity to G{alpha}i1. The peptide was minimized to a 9-residue sequence (R6A-1) that retains high affinity and specificity for the GDP ...
