Transcriptional Regulation of Rat Scavenger Receptor Class B Type I Gene [PDF]

open access: hybridJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
The scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) mediates the selective transport of lipids from high density lipoprotein to cells and plays an important role in the reverse uptake of cholesterol to the liver and in the delivery of substrates for steroidogenesis in steroidogenic organs.

Dominant role of GABAB2 and Gbetagamma for GABAB receptor-mediated-ERK1/2/CREB pathway in cerebellar neurons [PDF]

open access: yesCellular Signalling 19, 9 (2007) 1996-2002, 2008
gamma-aminobutyric acid type B (GABA(B)) receptor is an allosteric complex made of two subunits, GABA(B1) and GABA(B2). GABA(B2) plays a major role in the coupling to G protein whereas GABA(B1) binds GABA. It has been shown that GABA(B) receptor activates ERK(1/2) in neurons of the central nervous system, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this ...

Liver receptor homolog 1 controls the expression of the scavenger receptor class B type I [PDF]

open access: yesEMBO reports, 2002
The scavenger receptor class B type I (SR‐BI), which mediates selective cellular cholesterol uptake from high‐density lipoproteins (HDLs), plays a key role in reverse cholesterol transport. The orphan nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH‐1) and SR‐BI are co‐expressed in liver and ovary, suggesting that LRH‐1 might control the expression of SR‐

Method for identification of condition-associated public antigen receptor sequences [PDF]

open access: yeseLife 2018;7:e33050, 2017
Diverse repertoires of hypervariable immunoglobulin receptors (TCR and BCR) recognize antigens in the adaptive immune system. The development of immunoglobulin receptor repertoire sequencing methods makes it possible to perform repertoire-wide disease association studies of antigen receptor sequences.

The human scavenger receptor class B type I is a novel candidate receptor for the hepatitis C virus [PDF]

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal, 2002
We discovered that the hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope glycoprotein E2 binds to human hepatoma cell lines independently of the previously proposed HCV receptor CD81. Comparative binding studies using recombinant E2 from the most prevalent 1a and 1b genotypes revealed that E2 recognition by hepatoma cells is independent from the viral isolate, while E2-

Receptor uptake arrays for vitamin B12, siderophores and glycans shape bacterial communities [PDF]

open access: yesEcology & Evolution 7:10175-10195 (2017), 2017
Molecular variants of vitamin B12, siderophores and glycans occur. To take up variant forms, bacteria may express an array of receptors. The gut microbe Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron has three different receptors to take up variants of vitamin B12 and 88 receptors to take up various glycans.

Communication over the network of binary switches regulates the activation of A$_{2A}$ adenosine receptor [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Comp. Biol. (2015) 11(2): e1004044, 2014
Dynamics and functions of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are accurately regulated by the type of ligands that bind to the orthosteric or allosteric binding sites. To glean the structural and dynamical origin of ligand-dependent modulation of GPCR activity, we performed total $\sim$ 5 $\mu$sec molecular dynamics simulations of A$_{2A}$ adenosine ...

Scavenger receptor class B, type I-mediated uptake of A1AT by pulmonary endothelial cells.

open access: yesAm J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol, 2015
In addition to exerting a potent anti-elastase function, α-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) maintains the structural integrity of the lung by inhibiting endothelial inflammation and apoptosis. A main serpin secreted in circulation by hepatocytes, A1AT requires uptake by the endothelium to achieve vasculoprotective effects.
