G protein-coupled receptor kinase-2 (GRK-2) regulates serotonin metabolism through the monoamine oxidase AMX-2 in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulate many animal behaviors. GPCR signaling is mediated by agonist-promoted interactions of GPCRs with heterotrimeric G proteins, GPCR kinases (GRKs), and arrestins.

A supramolecular assembly of cone‐specific G‐protein and cryptochrome 4a on lipid bilayer
Immobilized phospholipid bilayers on a sensor chip surface serve as membrane platform to investigate critical protein–lipid and protein–protein interaction processes by surface plasmon resonance. The putative magnetoreceptor cryptochrome 4a and the myristoylated cone‐specific G‐protein α‐subunit (Gtα) bind with high affinity to immobilized lipid ...

Heterotrimeric G proteins, commonly known as G proteins are members of the large GTPase superfamily that are conserved from bacteria to mammals. G proteins play an essential role in cellular signaling by coupling many cell surface receptors to effectors on the plasma membrane.

The relationship between P2X4 and P2X7: a physiologically important interaction? [PDF]
Purinergic signaling within the kidney is becoming an important focus in the study of renal health and disease. The effectors of ATP signaling, the P2Y and P2X receptors, are expressed to varying extents in and along the nephron.

Summary In plants, multiple cell types contribute to immunity, but what division of labor exists among cell types when immunity is activated? We compared, at single‐cell resolution, the response of Arabidopsis thaliana leaf cells during pattern‐triggered and effector‐triggered immunity (PTI/ETI), sampled at 3 and 5 h after infection with Pseudomonas ...

Genetic analysis of the Replication Protein A large subunit family in Arabidopsis reveals unique and overlapping roles in DNA repair, meiosis and DNA replication [PDF]
Replication Protein A (RPA) is a heterotrimeric protein complex that binds single-stranded DNA. In plants, multiple genes encode the three RPA subunits (RPA1, RPA2 and RPA3), including five RPA1-like genes in Arabidopsis.

Mandibular Condylar Cartilage in Development and Diseases: A PTHrP‐Centric View
ABSTRACT The mandibular condylar cartilage (MCC) is a dual‐function component of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), acting as both articular cartilage for jaw movement and growth cartilage for vertical growth of the mandibular condyle. Parathyroid hormone‐related protein (PTHrP) plays a critical role in orchestrating chondrogenesis in the long bone ...

Exocytosis from permeabilized bovine adrenal chromaffin cells is differently modulated by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate and guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate [PDF]
1. In bovine adrenal chromaffin cells made permeable either to molecules less than or equal to 3 kDa with alphatoxin or to proteins less than or equal to 150 kDa with streptolysin O, the GTP analogues guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG)

Arabidopsis heterotrimeric G-protein regulates cell wall defense and resistance to necrotrophic fungi [PDF]
The Arabidopsis heterotrimeric G-protein controls defense responses to necrotrophic and vascular fungi. The agb1 mutant impaired in the Gβ subunit displays enhanced susceptibility to these pathogens. Gβ/AGB1 forms an obligate dimer with either one of the
