Conidiation in Neurospora crassa: vegetative reproduction by a model fungus [PDF]
Asexual development, conidiation, in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa is a simple developmental process that starts with the growth of aerial hyphae.

The association of heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein (Go) with microtubules
The heterotrimeric GTP-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) play an important role in the regulation of membrane signal transduction. Recently, we identified the association of Go protein with mitotic spindles. Here we have investigated the relationship between Go protein and microtubules. We used temperature-dependent reversible assembly and taxol

Dopamine D2L receptor-interacting proteins regulate dopaminergic signaling
Dopamine receptor family proteins include seven transmembrane and trimeric GTP-binding protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Among them, the dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) is most extensively studied.

Interaction of the Xanthine Nucleotide Binding Goα Mutant with G Protein-coupled Receptors [PDF]
We constructed a double mutant version of the α subunit of Go that was regulated by xanthine nucleotides instead of guanine nucleotides (GoαX). We investigated the interaction between GoαX and G protein-coupled receptors in vitro.

Current Topics in Heterotrimeric GTP-binding Proteins. Heterotrimeric G proteins and ion channels.
Direct G protein regulation of ion channels is one of the major mechanisms of the functional regulation of excitable cells by hormones and neurotransmitters. Recent extensive studies indicate that a number of channels are directly regulated by G proteins.

Amino-terminal cysteine residues of RGS16 are required for palmitoylation and modulation of G(i)- and G(q)-mediated signaling [PDF]
RGS proteins (Regulators of G protein Signaling) are a recently discovered family of proteins that accelerate the GTPase activity of heterotrimeric G protein α subunits of the i, q, and 12 classes.

Background G- Protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) comprise the largest group of eukaryotic cell surface receptors with great pharmacological interest. A broad range of native ligands interact and activate GPCRs, leading to signal transduction within cells.

A Peptide Core Motif for Binding to Heterotrimeric G Protein α Subunits [PDF]
Recently, in vitro selection using mRNA display was used to identify a novel peptide sequence that binds with high affinity to G{alpha}i1. The peptide was minimized to a 9-residue sequence (R6A-1) that retains high affinity and specificity for the GDP ...

Inhibition of sequestration of human B-2 bradykinin receptor by phenylarsine oxide or sucrose allows determination of a receptor affinity shift and ligand dissociation in intact cells [PDF]
Depending on their interaction with intracellular proteins, G proteincoupled receptors (GPCR) often display different affinities for agonists at 37degreesC. Determining the affinity at that temperature is often difficult in intact cells as most GPCRs are
