Title: Single-molecule diffusion-based estimation of GPCR activity
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are major drug targets and have high potential for drug discovery. The development of a method for measuring the activities of GPCRs is essential for pharmacology and drug screening. However, it is difficult to measure the effects of a drug by monitoring the receptor on the cell surface, and changes in the concentrations of downstream signaling molecules, whi...
متن کاملSingle-molecule analysis of GPCR internalization in living cells
Novel fluorescent methods have enabled the direct visualization of the individual agonist-stimulated G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) trafficking in living cells. In this study the endocytic internalization of fluorescently labeled Dictyostelium discoideum cAMP receptors, cAR1-eYFP was visualized in real time using single-molecule fluorescent microscopy. These single-molecule experiments reve...
متن کاملFull characterization of GPCR monomer–dimer dynamic equilibrium by single molecule imaging
Receptor dimerization is important for many signaling pathways. However, the monomer-dimer equilibrium has never been fully characterized for any receptor with a 2D equilibrium constant as well as association/dissociation rate constants (termed super-quantification). Here, we determined the dynamic equilibrium for the N-formyl peptide receptor (FPR), a chemoattractant G protein-coupled receptor...
متن کاملTowards monitoring conformational changes of the GPCR neurotensin receptor 1 by single-molecule FRET
Neurotensin receptor 1 (NTSR1) is a G protein-coupled receptor that is important for signaling in the brain and the gut. Its agonist ligand neurotensin (NTS), a 13-amino-acid peptide, binds with nanomolar affinity from the extracellular side to NTSR1 and induces conformational changes that trigger intracellular signaling processes. Our goal is to monitor the conformational dynamics of single fl...
متن کاملSingle-molecule analysis of chemotactic signaling in Dictyostelium cells.
Single-molecule imaging techniques were used to reveal the binding of individual cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate molecules to heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein coupled receptors on the surface of living Dictyostelium discoideum cells. The binding sites were uniformly distributed and diffused rapidly in the plane of the membrane. The probabilities of individual association a...
