Orexin-1 receptor-cannabinoid CB1 receptor heterodimerization results in both ligand-dependent and -independent coordinated alterations of receptor localization and function [PDF]
Following inducible expression in HEK293 cells, the human orexin-1 receptor was targeted to the cell surface but became internalized following exposure to the peptide agonist orexin A.

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 ...

Structural insights into the peptide selectivity and activation of human neuromedin U receptors
Neuromedin U receptors (NMURs) are potential drug targets for obesity and inflammatory disorders. Here, the authors report structural basis for neuromedin recognition and activation mechanism of NMURs.

The role of ECL2 in CGRP receptor activation: a combined modelling and experimental approach [PDF]
The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor is a complex of a calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR), which is a family B G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and receptor activity modifying protein 1.

Structural insight into small molecule action on Frizzleds
WNT-Frizzled (FZD) signaling plays a critical role in embryonic development, tissue homeostasis and human disease but no small molecule drugs targeting FZD with distinct efficacy have emerged so far.

Discrimination and Quantification of Glomerular Receptor Subtypes for Atrial Natriuretic Factor (Anf) [PDF]
Binding sites for atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) were determined on isolated rat glomeruli as well as on glomerular membranes. To define optimal conditions, binding of ANF was investigated varying incubation time, temperature and protein concentration ...
