Cell surface receptors and ectoenzymes in mesangial cells. [PDF]
Mesangial cells possess a variety of receptors for hormones and autacoids. They are also equipped with ectoenzymes whose function may be to control the availability of autacoids and hormones at their receptor sites. Several examples are considered. Receptors for angiotensin II (AII) are present both on murine and human mesangial cells. One single group

Cannabinoid receptor interacting protein suppresses agonist-driven CB1 receptor internalization and regulates receptor replenishment in an agonist-biased manner [PDF]
Cannabinoid receptor interacting protein 1a (CRIP1a) is a CB1 receptor (CB1R) distal C-terminus-associated protein that modulates CB1R signaling via G proteins, and CB1R down-regulation but not desensitization (Blume et al.

Viral destruction of cell surface receptors [PDF]
Viral infection is initiated by the attachment of the virus to the appropriate host cells. This process involves a series of dedicated virion proteins that have evolved to specifically recognize one, or a small number, of cell-surface molecules.

Interaction of Viruses with Cell Surface Receptors
This chapter discusses the interaction of viruses with cell surface receptors. The rigorous characterizations of receptor–ligand interactions have been derived from binding studies of radiolabeled ligands in neuropharmacology and endocrinology. The definition of viral recognition sites as receptors involves three major criteria that are derived from ...

A guide to chemokines and their receptors [PDF]
The chemokines (or chemotactic cytokines) are a large family of small, secreted proteins that signal through cell surface G‐protein coupled heptahelical chemokine receptors.

FoxO1 signaling in B cell malignancies and its therapeutic targeting
FoxO1 has context‐specific tumor suppressor or oncogenic character in myeloid and B cell malignancies. This includes tumor‐promoting properties such as stemness maintenance and DNA damage tolerance in acute leukemias, or regulation of cell proliferation and survival, or migration in mature B cell malignancies.

Unraveling nanotopography of cell surface receptors [PDF]
ABSTRACTCells communicate with their environment via surface receptors, but nanoscopic receptor organization with respect to complex cell surface morphology remains unclear. This is mainly due to a lack of accessible, robust and high-resolution methods.

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

The role of epidermal growth factor-like module containing mucin-like hormone receptor 2 in human cancers. [PDF]
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are among the most diverse and ubiquitous proteins in all of biology. The epidermal growth factor-seven span transmembrane (EGF-TM7) subfamily of adhesion GPCRs is a small subset whose members are mainly expressed on ...

Multispecific lymphoid cell surface receptors. [PDF]
When mice are sequentially immunized with two antigens to give an oligoclonal "double-binding" antibody response, there is a concomitant increase of "double-binding" cell surface receptors on their splenic lymphocytes. Competition studies suggest that the capacity to bind the two ligands, bovine pancreatic ribonuclease (EC 3.1.4.22) and a 2,4 ...
