D3PM: a comprehensive database for protein motions ranging from residue to domain

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2022
Background Knowledge of protein motions is significant to understand its functions. While currently available databases for protein motions are mostly focused on overall domain motions, little attention is paid on local residue motions.

Targeted elimination of G proteins and arrestins defines their specific contributions to both intensity and duration of G protein-coupled receptor signalling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) can initiate intracellular signalling cascades by coupling to an array of heterotrimeric G proteins and arrestin adaptor proteins. Understanding the contribution of each of these coupling options to GPCR signalling has

The Cell Density Factor CMF Regulates the Chemoattractant Receptor cAR1 in Dictyostelium [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Starving Dictyostelium cells aggregate by chemotaxis to cAMP when a secreted protein called conditioned medium factor (CMF) reaches a threshold concentration.

Auxiliary Subunits: Shepherding AMPA Receptors to the Plasma Membrane

open access: yesMembranes, 2014
Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are tetrameric ligand-gated cation channels that mediate excitatory signal transmission in the central nervous system (CNS) of vertebrates.

Protease effects on the structure of acetylcholine receptor membranes from Torpedo californica. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
Protease digestion of acetylcholine receptor-rich membranes derived from Torpedo californica electroplaques by homogenization and isopycnic centrifugation results in degradation of all receptor subunits without any significant effect on the appearance in

A study of allosteric binding behaviour of a 1,3-alternate thiacalix[4]arene-based receptor using fluorescence signal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A novel heteroditopic thiacalix[4]arene receptor L possessing 1,3-alternate conformation, which contains two pyrene moieties attached to the lower rim via urea linkages together with a crown ether moiety appended at the opposite side of the thiacalix[4 ...

A conserved molecular switch in Class F receptors regulates receptor activation and pathway selection

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Class F receptors are therapeutic targets in human disease and understanding their structural changes during receptor activation may provide important pharmacological insight. Here, the authors combine computational and experimental methods to identify a

Structural basis of adhesion GPCR GPR110 activation by stalk peptide and G-proteins coupling

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
aGPCRs play key roles in multiple physiological processes. Here the authors report cryo-EM structures of GPR110 in complexes with Gq, Gs, Gi, G12 and G13 protein to reveal a detailed mechanism of aGPCR activation via the tethered stalk peptide and ...
