Receptors | Angiotensin Receptors
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAS) is a vital hormone-receptor system that regulates cardiovascular and renal functions. In this article, we discuss exciting new findings in the RAS field. Recently solved active state crystal structures of Angiotensin II type 1 (AT1R) and type 2 receptor (AT2R) helped in understanding receptor activation ...

Actin cytoskeleton-dependent regulation of corticotropin-releasing factor receptor heteromers [PDF]
Stress responses are highly nuanced and variable, but how this diversity is achieved by modulating receptor function is largely unknown. Corticotropin-releasing factor receptors (CRFRs), class B G protein–coupled receptors, are pivotal in mediating ...

A highly conserved cryptic epitope in the receptor binding domains of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV
Targeting the SARS-CoV-2 spike The surface of severe acute respiratory syndrome–coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is decorated with trimeric spikes that bind to host cell receptors.

LDL receptor-related protein-1 regulates NFκB and microRNA-155 in macrophages to control the inflammatory response [PDF]
LDL receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) is an endocytic and cell-signaling receptor. In mice in which LRP1 is deleted in myeloid cells, the response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was greatly exacerbated.

Fee Arrangements and Fee Shifting: Lessons From the Experience in Ontario [PDF]
About one-third of oestrogen receptor alpha-positive breast cancer patients treated with tamoxifen relapse. Here we identify the nuclear receptor retinoic acid receptor alpha as a marker of tamoxifen resistance. Using quantitative mass spectrometry-based

Structural insights into the activation of human calcium-sensing receptor
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.

Spatial intensity distribution analysis quantifies the extent and regulation of homodimerization of the secretin receptor [PDF]
Previous studies have indicated that the G protein-coupled secretin receptor is present as a homo-dimer, organized through symmetrical contacts in transmembrane domain IV, and that receptor dimerization is critical for high potency signalling by secretin.
