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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Nuclear localization of histamine receptor 2 in primary human lymphatic endothelial cells
Histamine exerts its physiological functions through its four receptor subtypes. In this work, we report the subcellular localization of histamine receptor 2 (H2R), a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), which is expressed in a wide variety of cell and ...

A computational model for GPCR-ligand interaction prediction
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play an essential role in critical human activities, and they are considered targets for a wide range of drugs. Accordingly, based on these crucial roles, GPCRs are mainly considered and focused on pharmaceutical ...
