Representation Learning for Class C G Protein-Coupled Receptors Classification.
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are integral cell membrane proteins of relevance for pharmacology. The complete tertiary structure including both extracellular and transmembrane domains has not been determined for any member of class C GPCRs. An alternative way to work on GPCR structural models is the investigation of their functionality through the analysis of their primary structure. For ...
متن کاملConstitutive Activity among Orphan Class-A G Protein Coupled Receptors
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent of constitutive activity among orphan class-A G protein coupled receptors within the cAMP signaling pathway. Constitutive signaling was revealed by changes in gene expression under control of the cAMP response element. Gene expression was measured in Chinese hamster ovary cells transiently co-transfected with plasmids containing a luciferase ...
متن کاملFoldGPCR: structure prediction protocol for the transmembrane domain of G protein-coupled receptors from class A.
Building reliable structural models of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is a difficult task because of the paucity of suitable templates, low sequence identity, and the wide variety of ligand specificities within the superfamily. Template-based modeling is known to be the most successful method for protein structure prediction. However, refinement of homology models within 1-3 A C alpha RMSD...
متن کاملAllosteric Modulators of Class B G-Protein-Coupled Receptors
Class B GPCR's are activated by peptide ligands, typically 30-40 amino acid residues, that are involved in major physiological functions such as glucose homeostasis (glucagon and glucagon-like peptide 1), calcium homeostasis and bone turnover (parathyroid hormone and calcitonin), and control of the stress axis (corticotropin-releasing factor). Peptide therapeutics have been developed targeting ...
متن کاملMisclassification of class C G-protein-coupled receptors as a label noise problem
G-Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are cell membrane proteins of relevance to biology and pharmacology. Their supervised classification in subtypes is hampered by label noise, which stems from a combination of expert knowledge limitations and lack of clear correspondence between labels and different representations of the protein primary sequences. In this brief study, we describe a systematic...
