Below the Surface: IGF-1R Therapeutic Targeting and Its Endocytic Journey

open access: yesCells, 2019
Ligand-activated plasma membrane receptors follow pathways of endocytosis through the endosomal sorting apparatus. Receptors cluster in clathrin-coated pits that bud inwards and enter the cell as clathrin-coated vesicles.

Agonist and antagonist TRUPATH assays for G protein-coupled receptors

open access: yesSTAR Protocols, 2022
Summary: TRUPATH is a bioluminescence resonance energy transfer-based platform for quantifying G protein-coupled receptor activity via dissociation of heterotrimeric G protein biosensors.

Functional classification of G-Protein coupled receptors, based on their specific ligand coupling patterns [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
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 re- main as orphan sequences (the activating ligand is unknown ...

Cryo-EM structure of an activated GPCR–G protein complex in lipid nanodiscs

open access: yesNature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2020
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest superfamily of transmembrane proteins and the targets of over 30% of currently marketed pharmaceuticals.

GPCR transactivation signalling in vascular smooth muscle cells: role of NADPH oxidases and reactive oxygen species

open access: yesVascular Biology, 2019
The discovery and extension of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) transactivation-dependent signalling has enormously broadened the GPCR signalling paradigm.

Contribution to the Discovery of a Novel Medicine for a Neuromuscular Disease and of other Promising Molecules for the Treatment of Neurodevelopmental and Neurodegenerative Diseases

open access: yesCHIMIA, 2021
Nervous system disorders affect millions of people around the world, through a very broad range of diseases. Here we describe our contribution to find a treatment for patients suffering from three of those diseases.

Odorant receptors can mediate axonal identity and gene choice via cAMP-independent mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2016
Odorant receptors (ORs) control several aspects of cell fate in olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs), including singular gene choice and axonal identity.

Ligands can differentially and temporally modulate GPCR interaction with 14-3-3 isoforms

open access: yesCurrent Research in Pharmacology and Drug Discovery, 2022
GPCR signaling and function depend on their associated proteins and subcellular locations. Besides G-proteins and β-arrestins, 14-3-3 proteins participate in GPCR trafficking and signaling, and they connect a large number of diverse proteins to form ...

Mapping the druggable allosteric space of G-protein coupled receptors: a fragment-based molecular dynamics approach. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
To address the problem of specificity in G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) drug discovery, there has been tremendous recent interest in allosteric drugs that bind at sites topographically distinct from the orthosteric site. Unfortunately, structure-based

The therapeutic potential of allosteric ligands for free fatty acid sensitive GPCRs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most historically successful therapeutic targets. Despite this success there are many important aspects of GPCR pharmacology and function that have yet to be exploited to their full therapeutic potential.
