Nature Communications, 2021 Glucocorticoid receptors (GR) are thought to bind DNA as dimers or monomers, to regulate different transcription pathways. Here, the authors perform genome-wide studies on GRs with mutations that impair dimerization and provide evidence that monomeric ...

Adenosine A1 receptor: Functional receptor-receptor interactions in the brain [PDF]
Purinergic Signalling, 2007 Over the past decade, many lines of investigation have shown that receptor-mediated signaling exhibits greater diversity than previously appreciated. Signal diversity arises from numerous factors, which include the formation of receptor dimers and interplay between different receptors.

Residue 6.43 defines receptor function in class F GPCRs
Nature Communications, 2021 The class Frizzled of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) consist of ten Frizzled (FZD1-10) subtypes and Smoothened (SMO). Here the Schulte laboratory demonstrates that FZDs differ substantially from SMO in receptor activation-associated conformational ...

An Introduction to Receptors and Receptor Disorders
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1979 SummaryIn the last decade reliable methods have been introduced to quantitate and characterize receptors for hormones and other biologically interesting ligands. Applied initially to hormone receptors on malignant cells and to androgen-resistant and insulin-resistant states, these methods have led to the identification of many disease processes where ...

Structural insights into the activation of human calcium-sensing receptor
eLife, 2021 Human calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is a G-protein-coupled receptor that maintains Ca2+ homeostasis in serum. Here, we present the cryo-electron microscopy structures of the CaSR in the inactive and agonist+PAM bound states.

Scientific Reports, 2017 The transcriptional activity of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is co-determined by its ability to recruit a vast and varying number of cofactors. We here identify Striatin-3 (STRN3) as a novel interaction partner of GR that interferes with GR’s ligand ...
