Agonist-receptor-arrestin, an alternative ternary complex with high agonist affinity.
The rapid decrease of a response to a persistent stimulus, often termed desensitization, is a widespread biological phenomenon. Signal transduction by numerous G protein-coupled receptors appears to be terminated by a strikingly uniform two-step mechanism, most extensively characterized for the beta2-adrenergic receptor (beta2AR), m2 muscarinic cholinergic receptor (m2 mAChR), and rhodopsin. Th...
متن کاملThe predicted 3D structures of the human M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor with agonist or antagonist bound.
The muscarinic acetylcholine G-protein-coupled receptors are implicated in diseases ranging from cognitive dysfunctions to smooth-muscle disorders. To provide a structural basis for drug design, we used the MembStruk computational method to predict the 3D structure of the human M1 muscarinic receptor. We validated this structure by using the HierDock method to predict the binding sites for thre...
متن کاملThe effect of intracerebroventricular administration of CCK receptor agonist and antagonist in nerve-Iigated mice
In the present study the effect of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of cerulein, an agonist of CCK receptor and proglumide, a receptor antagonist for hyperalgesia induced by sciatic nerve ligation were investigated in mice. Subcutaneous administration of morphine caused anti-nociception in both intact and nerve-ligated mice. However, the response to opioids was lower in ligated mice as c...
متن کاملParticipation of RGS8 in the ternary complex of agonist, receptor and G-protein.
The RGS (regulators of G-protein signalling) protein family sharpen signalling kinetics through heterotrimeric G-proteins by enhancing the GTPase activity of the G-protein alpha subunit. Paradoxically, they also accelerate receptor-stimulated activation. We investigated this paradox using the cloned G-protein gated K(+) channel as a reporter of the G-protein cycle, and FRET (fluorescence resona...
متن کاملMuscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes as agonist-dependent oncogenes.
We have evaluated the muscarinic acetylcholine family of G protein-coupled receptors (mAChRs) for their oncogenic potential. These receptors are preferentially expressed in postmitotic cells, transducing signals specified by their endogenous agonist, the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Cells transfected with individual human mAChR genes were morphologically indistinguishable from parental NIH 3...
