The Secretin GPCRs Descended from the Family of Adhesion GPCRs [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2008 The Adhesion G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most complex gene family among GPCRs with large genomic size, multiple introns, and a fascinating flora of functional domains, though the evolutionary origin of this family has been obscure. Here we studied the evolution of all class B (7tm2)-related genes, including the Adhesion, Secretin, and ...

Acta Pharmacologica Sinica, 2012 G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which represent the largest gene family in the human genome, play a crucial role in multiple physiological functions as well as in tumor growth and metastasis. For instance, various molecules like hormones, lipids, peptides and neurotransmitters exert their biological effects by binding to these seven-transmembrane ...

Neuropeptide GPCRs in Neuroendocrinology [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2014 The human genome encompasses ~ 860 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) including 374 non-chemosensory GPCRs. Half of these latter GPCRs recognize (neuro)peptides as natural ligands. GPCRs thus play a pivotal role in neuroendocrine communication. In particular, GPCRs are involved in the neuroendocrine control of feeding behavior, reproduction, growth ...

An Alternative Mode of GPCR Transactivation: Activation of GPCRs by Adhesion GPCRs. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciG protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), critical for cellular communication and signaling, represent the largest cell surface protein family and play important roles in numerous pathophysiological processes. Consequently, GPCRs have become a primary focus in drug discovery efforts. Beyond their traditional G protein-dependent signaling pathways, GPCRs are

Illuminating the life of GPCRs [PDF]
Cell Communication and Signaling, 2009 The investigation of biological systems highly depends on the possibilities that allow scientists to visualize and quantify biomolecules and their related activities in real-time and non-invasively. G-protein coupled receptors represent a family of very dynamic and highly regulated transmembrane proteins that are involved in various important ...

GPCR homo-oligomerization [PDF]
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2019 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are an extensive class of trans-plasma membrane proteins that function to regulate a wide range of physiological functions. Despite a general perception that GPCRs exist as monomers an extensive literature has examined whether GPCRs can also form dimers and even higher-order oligomers, and if such organization ...

A Web Server for GPCR-GPCR Interaction Pair Prediction
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 The GGIP web server (https://protein.b.dendai.ac.jp/GGIP/) provides a web application for GPCR-GPCR interaction pair prediction by a support vector machine. The server accepts two sequences in the FASTA format. It responds with a prediction that the input GPCR sequence pair either interacts or not.

, 2011 In this chapter, we describe a method for detecting the ubiquitination status of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). This involves co-expression of a GPCR with an epitope-tagged ubiquitin construct in a -heterologous mammalian expression system. Stimulus-dependent modification of the GPCR by -ubiquitin is detected by immunoprecipitation and subsequent

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2019 New technologies for spatial and temporal remote control of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are necessary to unravel the complexity of GPCR signalling in cells, tissues and living organisms. An effective approach, recently developed, consists on the design of light-operated ligands whereby light-dependent GPCR activity regulation can be achieved ...
