Trio and CRMP2 regulate axon branching and Semaphorin3A signaling
Communications BiologyTrio is a neuronally expressed, Rac1- and RhoA-activating RhoGEF, that is required for neurodevelopment. Mutations affecting the Rac1-activating GEF domain of Trio are associated with profound neurodevelopmental delay and Trio knock-out is embryonic ...

Probing the role of the cation–π interaction in the binding sites of GPCRs using unnatural amino acids [PDF]
, 2009 We describe a general application of the nonsense suppression methodology for unnatural amino acid incorporation to probe drug–receptor interactions in functional G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), evaluating the binding sites of both the M2 muscarinic

Structural determinants at the M2 muscarinic receptor modulate the RGS4-GIRK response to pilocarpine by impairment of the receptor voltage sensitivity. [PDF]
, 2017 Membrane potential controls the response of the M2 muscarinic receptor to its ligands. Membrane hyperpolarization increases response to the full agonist acetylcholine (ACh) while decreasing response to the partial agonist pilocarpine.
