Differential Regulation of GPCRs—Are GRK Expression Levels the Key?

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) comprise the largest family of transmembrane receptors and their signal transduction is tightly regulated by GPCR kinases (GRKs) and β-arrestins.

A Millimeter‐Scale Implantable Magneto–Mechano–Electric Transducer Based on BTO Piezoelectric Ceramics for Remote Wireless Electrical Stimulation of Injured Sciatic Nerves

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We report a fully wireless, circuit‐free neural stimulator built on a millimetric magneto‐mechano‐electric (MME) cantilever transducer (3 × 10 × 5 mm) with a barium titanate (BTO) piezoelectric ceramic core. Under low‐frequency alternating magnetic fields, the MME cantilever mechanically oscillates, inducing stress on the BTO element and thereby ...

An Alternative Mode of GPCR Transactivation: Activation of GPCRs by Adhesion GPCRs

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
G 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

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 ...

Engineered Optogenetic Circuits In Yeast with Self‐Sustained Outputs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Optogenetic quorum‐sensing (OptoQS) circuit enables Saccharomyces cerevisiae to record transient light stimulus with self‐sustained outputs. Panel a indicates the design of the OptoQS circuit based on G‐protein coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling cascade. Panel b indicates the mode of action of surrogate messenger‐mediated signal transmission at the cell

A Comprehensive 19F NMR Framework for Fragment‐Based Drug Discovery: The Validated Screening Library OpenFL600 and Efficient Affinity Ranking by CSAR

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
NMR screening is a powerful method for hit detection in drug‐discovery. We designed and validated the OpenFL600 19F$^{19}{\rm F}$ NMR library to probe diverse targets, including RNA, GPCRs, kinases, and proteases. This library yields target‐specific ligands without generating promiscuous binders.

T2T Genome Assembly and Multi‐Omics Data Reveal Terrestrial Adaptation and Mucus Biosynthesis in Tropical Leatherleaf Slug (Laevicaulis alte)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A gap‐free genome assembly and multi‐omics comparison of the terrestrial slug Laevichaulis alte with an aquatic relative reveal that expansion of the VEGF family orchestrates mucus production, lipid metabolism, and immune defense—highlighting key molecular innovations for conquering life on land.

Thermodynamics of GPCR activation [PDF]

Biophysics Reports, 2015
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of signaling proteins that are responsible for information input from the extracellular environment. The plasma membrane in which GPCRs reside usually carries an electrostatic membrane potential (ΔΨ).
