G Protein Heterodimers: New Structures Propel New Questions
The docking of G␣ to G␥ involves extensive contacts: *Department of Medicine binding of the G␣ N-terminal ␣ helix to the side of the Cardiovascular Division G propeller parallel to its central tunnel and binding of Brigham and Women's Hospital the catalytic domain of G␣ to the top surface of the  and Harvard Medical School propeller (see Figure 1). Removal of the N-terminal ␣ Boston, Massach...
متن کاملRBR E3 ubiquitin ligases: new structures, new insights, new questions
The RBR (RING-BetweenRING-RING) or TRIAD [two RING fingers and a DRIL (double RING finger linked)] E3 ubiquitin ligases comprise a group of 12 complex multidomain enzymes. This unique family of E3 ligases includes parkin, whose dysfunction is linked to the pathogenesis of early-onset Parkinson's disease, and HOIP (HOIL-1-interacting protein) and HOIL-1 (haem-oxidized IRP2 ubiquitin ligase 1), m...
متن کاملDo orphan G-protein-coupled receptors have ligand-independent functions? New insights from receptor heterodimers.
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are important drug targets and are involved in virtually every biological process. However, there are still more than 140 orphan GPCRs, and deciphering their function remains a priority for fundamental and clinical research. Research on orphan GPCRs has concentrated mainly on the identification of their natural ligands, whereas recent data suggest additional ...
متن کاملNew G-protein-coupled receptor crystal structures: insights and limitations.
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a large family of structurally similar proteins that respond to a chemically diverse array of physiological and environmental stimulants. Until recently, high-resolution structural information was limited to rhodopsin, a naturally abundant GPCR that is highly specialized for the detection of light. Non-rhodopsin GPCRs for diffusible hormones and ne...
متن کاملOn a new G-frame and duality
We introduce a new g-frame (singleton g-frame), g-orthonormal basis and g-Riesz basis and study corresponding notions in some other generalizations of frames.Also, we investigate duality for some kinds of g-frames. Finally, we illustrate an example which provides a suitable translation from discrete frames to Sun's g-frames.
