G protein-coupled receptors in neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders
Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2023 Neuropsychiatric disorders are multifactorial disorders with diverse aetiological factors. Identifying treatment targets is challenging because the diseases are resulting from heterogeneous biological, genetic, and environmental factors.

Frizzled Proteins are bona fide G Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]
, 2009 Receptors of the Frizzled family initiate Wnt ligand-dependent signaling controlling multiple steps in organism development and highly conserved in evolution. Misactivation of the Wnt/Frizzled signaling is cancerogenic.

Functional classification of G-Protein coupled receptors, based on their specific ligand coupling patterns [PDF]
, 2006 Functional identification of G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) is one of the current focus areas of pharmaceutical research. Although thousands of GPCR sequences are known, many of them re- main as orphan sequences (the activating ligand is unknown ...

RINGdb: An integrated database for G protein-coupled receptors and regulators of G protein signaling
BMC Genomics, 2006 Background Many marketed therapeutic agents have been developed to modulate the function of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The regulators of G-protein signaling (RGS proteins) are also being examined as potential drug targets.

Threonine 180 Is Required for G-protein-coupled Receptor Kinase 3- and β-Arrestin 2-mediated Desensitization of the µ-Opioid Receptor in Xenopus Oocytes [PDF]
, 2001 To determine the sites in the µ-opioid receptor (MOR) critical for agonist-dependent desensitization, we constructed and coexpressed MORs lacking potential phosphorylation sites along with G-protein activated inwardly rectifying potassium channels ...

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.
