متن کاملSmall Molecule Inhibitors of Regulator of G Protein Signalling (RGS) Proteins.
Recently regulators of G protein signalling (RGS) proteins have emerged as potential therapeutic targets since they provide an alternative method of modulating the activity of GPCRs, the target of so many drugs. Inhibitors of RGS proteins must block a protein-protein interaction (RGS-Gα), but also be cell and, depending on the therapeutic target, blood brain barrier permeable. A lead compound (...
متن کاملIntrinsic gating properties of a cloned G protein-activated inward rectifier K+ channel
The voltage-, time-, and K(+)-dependent properties of a G protein-activated inwardly rectifying K+ channel (GIRK1/KGA/Kir3.1) cloned from rat atrium were studied in Xenopus oocytes under two-electrode voltage clamp. During maintained G protein activation and in the presence of high external K+ (VK = 0 mV), voltage jumps from VK to negative membrane potentials activated inward GIRK1 K+ currents ...
متن کاملCharacteristics of a Regulator of G-Protein Signaling (RGS) rgsC in Aspergillus fumigatus
The regulator of G-protein signaling (RGS) proteins have a conserved RGS domain that facilitates the intrinsic GTPase activity of an activated Gα subunit of heterotrimeric G protein, thereby attenuating signal transduction. Among six predicted RGS proteins in the opportunistic human pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, only three (FlbA, GprK, and Rax1) have been studied. The unexplored RgsC...
متن کاملMeasuring RGS Protein Interactions with G q a
Many hormones, neurotransmitters, and sensory inputs rely on heterotrimeric guanine-nucleotide regulatory proteins (G proteins) to exert their actions at target cells and tissues. 1-3 G proteins act by directly coupling cell surface receptors to the regulation of specific effector proteins at the plasma membrane. All G proteins are composed of three subunits designated as Got (39-46 kDa), G/3 (...
