Long-term (trophic) purinergic signalling: purinoceptors control cell proliferation, differentiation and death [PDF]
The purinergic signalling system, which uses purines and pyrimidines as chemical transmitters, and purinoceptors as effectors, is deeply rooted in evolution and development and is a pivotal factor in cell communication.

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor‐stimulated binding of guanosine 5′‐O‐(3‐thiotriphosphate) to guanine‐nucleotide‐binding proteins in cardiac membranes [PDF]
Receptor‐regulated binding of the labeled GTP analog, guanosine 5′‐O‐(3‐thiotriphosphate) ([35S]GTP[S]), to guanine‐nucleotide‐binding proteins (G‐proteins) was studied in porcine atrial membranes enriched in muscarinic acetylcholine (mACh) receptors. Binding of [35S]GTP[S] to the membranes was not or only slightly affected by the cholinergic agonist ...

G-proteins coupled to phosphoinositide hydrolysis in the cochlear and vestibular sensory epithelia of the rat are insensitive to cholera and pertussis toxins [PDF]
In the cochlear (CSE) and vestibular sensory epithelia (VSE), phosphoinositides are hydrolyzed in response to stimulation of phospholipase C (PLC) by cholinergic muscarinic and purinergic P2y agonists. Such receptor-mediated activation of PLC is expected

L'ajout de guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) à des fibroblastes pulmonaires intacts de hamster chinois (CCL39) dépolarisés par des concentrations élevées de K+ entraîne l'activation de la phospholipase C spécifique du phosphoinositide (PLC) (à des concentrations de GTP gamma S supérieures à 0,1 mM), l'inhibition de l'adénylate cyclase ...

GABAB receptor allosteric modulators exhibit pathway-dependent and species-selective activity. [PDF]
Positive modulation of the GABAB receptor (GABABR) represents a potentially useful therapeutic approach for the treatment of nicotine addiction. The positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of GABABR GS39783 and BHF177 enhance GABA-stimulated [35S]GTP γS ...

Contribution of G Protein Activation to Fluoride Stimulation of Phosphoinositide Hydrolysis in Human Neuroblastoma Cells [PDF]
To examine the possibility that NaF enhances phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PIC) activity in neural tissues by a mechanism independent of a guanine nucleotide binding protein (G p ), we have evaluated the contribution of G p activation to NaF-

Involvement of the transmembrane protein p23 in biosynthetic protein transport [PDF]
The identification of ANO1/TMEM16A as the likely calcium-dependent chloride channel of exocrine glands has led to a more detailed understanding of its biophysical properties.

The Calcium Transient in Sea Urchin Eggs during Fertilization Requires the Production of Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate [PDF]
The production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) has been reported to mediate the transient rise in intracellular Ca2+activity ([Ca2+]i) in sea urchin eggs during fertilization.

Effects of guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) and cations on 2-[125I]iodomelatonin binding were investigated in membrane preparations of the chicken spinal cord. At concentrations of 10 and 50 mumol/l, GTP gamma S dose-dependently increased (p < 0.05) the equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) and depressed (p < 0.05) the maximum number ...

Kinetics and activation of phospholipase C by P2Y purinergic agonists and guanine nucleotides [PDF]
Membranes prepared from [3H]inositol-labeled turkey erythrocytes express a phospholipase C that is markedly stimulated by stable analogs of GTP (Harden, T. K., Stephens, L., Hawkins, P. T., and Downes, C. P. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 9057-9061).
