British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a crucial role in cell function by transducing signals from the extracellular environment to the inside of the cell. They mediate the effects of various stimuli, including hormones, neurotransmitters, ions, photons, food tastants and odorants, and are renowned drug targets.

Fmr1 deletion enhances and ultimately desensitizes CB1 signaling in autaptic hippocampal neurons
Neurobiology of Disease, 2013 Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a heritable form of mental retardation caused by a non-coding trinucleotide expansion of the FMR1 gene leading to loss of expression of this RNA binding protein.

Pharmacological And Genetic Reversal Of Age-Dependent Cognitive Deficits Attributable To Decreased Presenilin Function [PDF]
, 2010 Alzheimer\u27s disease (AD) is the leading cause of cognitive loss and neurodegeneration in the developed world. Although its genetic and environmental causes are not generally known, familial forms of the disease (FAD) are attributable to mutations in a

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Background and Purpose Several G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are known to homodimerise. Dimeric GPCRs may have different properties from their monomers, but the molecular basis and functional significance of GPCR dimerisation remain largely unknown.

Stochastic Turing pattern formation in a model with active and passive transport [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We investigate Turing pattern formation in a stochastic and spatially discretized version of a reaction diffusion advection (RDA) equation, which was previously introduced to model synaptogenesis in \textit{C. elegans}. The model describes the interactions between a passively diffusing molecular species and an advecting species that switches between ...

Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide Orchestrates Neuronal Regulation Of The Astrocytic Glutamate-Releasing Mechanism System x\u3csub\u3ec\u3c/sub\u3e\u3csup\u3e−\u3c/sup\u3e [PDF]
, 2016 Glutamate signaling is achieved by an elaborate network involving neurons and astrocytes. Hence, it is critical to better understand how neurons and astrocytes interact to coordinate the cellular regulation of glutamate signaling.

A Novel Site on the Gα-protein That Recognizes Heptahelical Receptors*
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2001 Specific domains of the G-protein α subunit have been shown to control coupling to heptahelical receptors. The extreme N and C termini and a region between α4 and α5 helices of the G-protein α subunit are known to determine selective interaction with the

A PI3K-mediated negative feedback regulates Drosophila motor neuron excitability [PDF]
, 2008 Negative feedback can act as a homeostatic mechanism to maintain neuronal activity at a particular specified value. At the Drosophila neuromuscular junction, a mutation in the type II metabotropic glutamate receptor gene (mGluRA) increased motor neuron ...
