, 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

Structure and functional motifs of GCR1, the only plant protein with a GPCR fold? [PDF]
, 2013 Whether GPCRs exist in plants is a fundamental biological question. Interest in deorphanizing new G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), arises because of their importance in signaling.

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

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 ...

On the hierarchical classification of G Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]
, 2007 Motivation: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play an important role in many physiological systems by transducing an extracellular signal into an intracellular response. Over 50% of all marketed drugs are targeted towards a GPCR.

Phylogenomic analysis reveals extensive phylogenetic mosaicism in the Human GPCR Superfamily [PDF]
, 2007 A novel high throughput phylogenomic analysis (HTP) was applied to the rhodopsin G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family. Instances of phylogenetic mosaicism between receptors were found to be frequent, often as instances of correlated mosaicism and ...
