N-terminal Tyrosine Residues within the Potassium Channel Kir3 Modulate GTPase Activity of Gαi [PDF]
trkB activation results in tyrosine phosphorylation of N-terminal Kir3 residues, decreasing channel activation. To determine the mechanism of this effect, we reconstituted Kir3, trkB, and the mu opioid receptor in Xenopus oocytes. Activation of trkB by BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) accelerated Kir3 deactivation following termination of mu ...

Tyrosine Phosphorylation of Kir3 following κ-Opioid Receptor Activation of p38 MAPK Causes Heterologous Desensitization [PDF]
Prior studies showed that tyrosine 12 phosphorylation in the N-terminal, cytoplasmic domain of the G-protein-gated inwardly rectifying potassium channel, K(ir)3.1 facilitates channel deactivation by increasing intrinsic GTPase activity of the channel.

HL-1 cells express an inwardly rectifying K+ current activated via muscarinic receptors comparable to that in mouse atrial myocytes [PDF]
An inwardly rectifying K^+ current is present in atrial cardiac myocytes that is activated by acetylcholine (I_{KACh}). Physiologically, activation of the current in the SA node is important in slowing the heart rate with increased parasympathetic tone ...

The cationic region of Rhes mediates its interactions with specific Gβ subunits [PDF]
Ras homologue enriched in striatum (Rhes) is a small monomeric G protein which functions in a variety of cellular processes, including attenuation of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)signalling.

Secondary anionic phospholipid binding site and gating mechanism in Kir2.1 inward rectifier channels [PDF]
Inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels regulate multiple tissues. All Kir channels require interaction of phosphatidyl-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) at a crystallographically identified binding site, but an additional nonspecific secondary anionic ...

Opioid Receptors in Immune and Glial Cells-Implications for Pain Control [PDF]
Opioid receptors comprise μ (MOP), δ (DOP), κ (KOP), and nociceptin/orphanin FQ (NOP) receptors. Opioids are agonists of MOP, DOP, and KOP receptors, whereas nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) is an agonist of NOP receptors.
