Nile Red-Based GPCR Ligands as Ultrasensitive Probes of the Local Lipid Microenvironment of the Receptor [PDF]
The local lipid microenvironment of transmembrane receptors is an essential factor in GPCR signaling. However, tools are currently missing for studying endogenously expressed GPCRs in primary cells and tissues.

Advances in GPCR modeling evaluated by the GPCR Dock 2013 assessment: meeting new challenges. [PDF]
Despite tremendous successes of GPCR crystallography, the receptors with available structures represent only a small fraction of human GPCRs. An important role of the modeling community is to maximize structural insights for the remaining receptors and ...

LPA1-mediated inhibition of CXCR4 attenuates CXCL12-induced signaling and cell migration
Background G protein-coupled receptor heteromerization is believed to exert dynamic regulatory impact on signal transduction. CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) and its ligand CXCL12, both of which are overexpressed in many cancers, play a pivotal role in ...

Heparin-bound chemokine CXCL8 monomer and dimer are impaired for CXCR1 and CXCR2 activation: implications for gradients and neutrophil trafficking [PDF]
Chemokine CXCL8 plays a pivotal role in host immune response by recruiting neutrophils to the infection site. CXCL8 exists as monomers and dimers, and mediates recruitment by interacting with glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and activating CXCR1 and CXCR2 ...
