To identify signal transduction pathways of the gray mold fungus Botrytis cinerea involved in host infection, we used heterologous hybridization and a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based approach to isolate two genes (bcg1 and bcg2) encoding α subunits

Splice Type‐Specific Effects of Gαo Subunits on Cerebellar Anatomy and Synapse Formation
Heterotrimeric Go alpha subunits are widely expressed in the brain to act as molecular switches. In this study we show that Gαo1 and Gαo2 affect cerebellar morphology and synapse formation in an opposite manner. While knockout of Gαo1 results in cerebellar hypoplasia and reduced synaptic input to Purkinje cells by VGLUT2‐positive brainstem climbing ...

G-protein β subunit AGB1 positively regulates salt stress tolerance in Arabidopsis
The heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins (G-proteins) in eukaryotes consisted of α, β and γ subunits and are important in molecular signaling by interacting with G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), on which to transduce signaling into the cytoplast ...

Serotonin 5‐HT7 receptor signaling in neuropsychiatric disorders
5‐HT7R recruits Gs, G12, and β‐arrestin signaling to regulate neuronal plasticity, circuit function, and kinase‐linked intracellular responses. This review summarizes how these pathway‐selective modules contribute to autism spectrum disorder, depression, and schizophrenia, highlighting 5‐HT7R as a pathway‐informed therapeutic target. Abstract Serotonin

Insulin signaling inhibits the 5-HT2C receptor in choroid plexus via MAP kinase
Background G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) interact with heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) to modulate acute changes in intracellular messenger levels and ion channel activity.

Advances in GPCRs Associated With Wnt Signaling Within the Auditory System
ABSTRACT G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) that interact with the Wnt signaling pathway are pivotal for auditory system homeostasis, as they orchestrate inner ear development, hair cell (HC) regeneration, and hearing preservation. Frizzled (FZD) receptors, the core Wnt‐related GPCRs, bind Wnt ligands and co‐receptors (e.g., LRP5/6) to activate both ...

Involvement of G-proteins, calmodulin and tagetitoxin-sensitive RNA polymerase in light-regulated expression of plastid genes (psbA, psaA and rbcL) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) [PDF]
The regulation of chloroplast gene expression by light involves multiple signaling components. In an earlier study, we demonstrated the role of calcium and phosphorylation in regulating the expression of photosynthesis-related plastid genes, psbA, psaA ...

GRKs and arrestins: Nomenclature and functions in GPCR‐dependent and ‐independent signalling
G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) kinases (GRKs) and arrestins play a critical role in the regulation of GPCR signalling. Historic names of mammalian GRKs were replaced by systematic ones in the 1990s; however, both kinds of names are currently in use for mammalian arrestins.

Are nicotinic acetylcholine receptors coupled to G proteins?
It was, until recently, accepted that the two classes of acetylcholine (ACh) receptors are distinct in an important sense: muscarinic ACh receptors signal via heterotrimeric GTP binding proteins (G proteins), whereas nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs) open

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 ...
