Dynamic regulation of quaternary organization of the M1 muscarinic receptor by subtype-selective antagonist drugs [PDF]
Although rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptors can exist as both monomers and non-covalently associated dimers/oligomers, the steady-state proportion of each form and whether this is regulated by receptor ligands is unknown.

Evidence for Respiratory Neuromodulator Interdependence after Cholinergic Disruption in the Ventral Respiratory Column [PDF]
Reverse dialysis of the muscarinic receptor antagonist, atropine (ATR, 50 mM), into the pre-Bötzinger Complex region of the ventral respiratory column (VRC) of awake and sleeping goats increases breathing frequency and serotonin (5-HT), substance P (SP),

Calcium Mobilization by Activation of M3/M5 Muscarinic Receptors in the Human Retinoblastoma
Activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) is one of the most important signal transduction pathways in the human body. In this study, we investigated the role of mAChR activation in relation to its subtypes in human retinoblastoma cell ...

Deconvolution of complex G protein-coupled receptor signaling in live cells using dynamic mass redistribution measurements [PDF]
Label-free biosensor technology based on dynamic mass redistribution (DMR) of cellular constituents promises to translate GPCR signaling into complex optical 'fingerprints' in real time in living cells.

Objectives: Chronic hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia are characteristic features of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) that are thought to cause or contribute to β-cell dysfunction by “glucolipotoxicity.” Previously we have shown that acute treatment of pancreatic ...

Overexpression of M3 subtype muscarinic receptors (M3R) hastens colon cancer progression. As microRNA (miRNA) expression is commonly dysregulated in cancer, we used microarrays to examine miRNA profiles in muscarinic receptor agonist-treated human colon ...

Multiple Residues in the Second Extracellular Loop Are Critical for M3 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Activation [PDF]
Recent studies suggest that the second extracellular loop (o2 loop) of bovine rhodopsin and other class I G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) targeted by biogenic amine ligands folds deeply into the transmembrane receptor core where the binding of cis ...

Functional M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in mammalian hearts [PDF]
In contrast to most peripheral tissues where multiple subtypes of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) coexist, with each of them playing its part in the orchestra of parasympathetic innervation, the myocardium has been traditionally considered to possess a single mAChR subtype.
