Intrinsic conformational equilibria position arrestin‐2 for activation

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Arrestins regulate G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling by undergoing large‐scale conformational rearrangements, yet the solution‐state equilibria that underlie arrestin pre‐activation remain poorly defined. While prior studies identified slow conformational exchange at the interdomain interface, these minor states could not be ...

Allele-Specific Inhibition of Rhodopsin With an Antisense Oligonucleotide Slows Photoreceptor Cell DegenerationAllele-Specific Inhibition of Rhodopsin for adRP [PDF]

, 2015
PURPOSE: To preserve photoreceptor cell structure and function in a rodent model of retinitis pigmentosa with P23H rhodopsin by selective inhibition of the mutant rhodopsin allele using a second generation antisense oligonucleotide (ASO).

GRKs and arrestins: Nomenclature and functions in GPCR‐dependent and ‐independent signalling

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 11, Page 2619-2633, June 2026.
G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) kinases (GRKs) and arrestins play a critical role in the regulation of GPCR signalling. Historic names of mammalian GRKs were replaced by systematic ones in the 1990s; however, both kinds of names are currently in use for mammalian arrestins.

Relevance of rhodopsin studies for GPCR activation

, 2014
Rhodopsin, the dim-light photoreceptor present in the rod cells of the retina, is both a retinal-binding protein and a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). Due to this conjunction, it benefits from an arsenal of spectroscopy techniques that can be used for

Roles of ER Membrane Protein Complex in Protein Biogenesis and Quality Control in the Lung and Beyond

Cell Proliferation, Volume 59, Issue 6, June 2026.
The endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein complex (EMC) is an evolutionarily conserved, multi‐subunit transmembrane protein complex crucial to membrane protein biogenesis and cellular protein quality control. This review systematically examines the structure, functions and disease‐associated regulatory mechanisms of EMC across multiple organ systems ...

Next‐Generation Strategies for Neural Repair and Regeneration: Neural Organoid Transplantation in the CNS

Cell Proliferation, Volume 59, Issue 6, June 2026.
Neurological disorders are hard to treat. Stem cell‐derived neural organoids enable research, and their transplantation aids CNS therapy, with this article reviewing relevant advances, challenges and prospects. ABSTRACT Neurological disorders are often devastating and notoriously difficult to repair, creating an urgent need for novel research models ...

A supramolecular assembly of cone‐specific G‐protein and cryptochrome 4a on lipid bilayer

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 11, Page 3362-3375, June 2026.
Immobilized phospholipid bilayers on a sensor chip surface serve as membrane platform to investigate critical protein–lipid and protein–protein interaction processes by surface plasmon resonance. The putative magnetoreceptor cryptochrome 4a and the myristoylated cone‐specific G‐protein α‐subunit (Gtα) bind with high affinity to immobilized lipid ...

Transducin inhibition of light-dependent rhodopsin phosphorylation: evidence for beta gamma subunit interaction with rhodopsin

, 2014
Rhodopsin kinase was purified from bovine retina rod outer segments as a 62-64-kDa protein that phosphorylated purified rhodopsin reconstituted into egg phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylethanolamine liposomes.

The hidden science of haptics: A pedagogical review of tactile evaluation in cosmetics

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 600-634, June 2026.
This review explores the physiological basis of tactile perception and critically examines classical and emerging sensory methods used in cosmetics, advocating for broader methodological integration and recognition of sensory analysis in the field. Abstract Sensory analysis is a cornerstone of cosmetic development, yet remains underrepresented in peer ...
