Structural and Functional Analysis of a β2-Adrenergic Receptor Complex with GRK5. [PDF]
The phosphorylation of agonist-occupied G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) by GPCR kinases (GRKs) functions to turn off G-protein signaling and turn on arrestin-mediated signaling.

The folding interactome of GPCRs [PDF]
Background The A2A adenosine receptor is a prototypical G proteincoupled receptor. It is expressed in a wide variety of cells including as different types as neurons, platelets, cells of the immune system and muscle. The A2A receptor has an unusually long C-terminus (of >120 residues), which for the most part is dispensable for coupling to Gs.

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

PRED-GPCR: GPCR recognition and family classification server [PDF]
The vast cell-surface receptor family of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) is the focus of both academic and pharmaceutical research due to their key role in cell physiology along with their amenability to drug intervention. As the data flow rate from the various genome and proteome projects continues to grow, so does the need for fast, automated and

Prediction and classification for GPCR sequences based on ligand specific features [PDF]
Functional identification of G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) is one of the current focus areas of pharmaceutical research. Although thousands of GPCR sequences are known, many of them are orphan sequences (the activating ligand is unknown). Therefore,

Orphan GPCRs and Neuromodulation [PDF]
Most G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) started as orphan GPCRs. Matching them to known neuromodulators led to the elucidation of the broad diversity of the neuroreceptor families. Moreover, orphan GPCRs have also been used as targets to discover novel neuromodulators.

Odorant receptors can mediate axonal identity and gene choice via cAMP-independent mechanisms [PDF]
Odorant receptors (ORs) control several aspects of cell fate in olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs), including singular gene choice and axonal identity.

Arrestin-3 differentially regulates platelet GPCR subsets
The principal demonstrated role of the nonvisual arrestins in vivo is to limit G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling. Nonetheless, a direct demonstration of this fundamental ability in platelets remains lacking, despite the prominent role played by
