G-protein Coupled Receptor Dimerization
A growing body of evidence suggests that GPCRs exist and function as dimers or higher oligomers. The evidence for GPCR dimerization comes from biochemical, biophysical and functional studies. In addition, researchers have shown the occurrence of heterodimerization between different members of the GPCR family. Two receptors can interact with each other to make a dimer through their extracellular...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and characterization of a novel human G-protein-coupled receptor, EDG7, for lysophosphatidic acid.
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), together with sphingosine 1-phosphate, is a bioactive lipid mediator that acts on G-protein-coupled receptors to evoke multiple cellular responses, including Ca(2+) mobilization, modulation of adenylyl cyclase, and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation. In this study, we isolated a human cDNA encoding a novel G-protein-coupled receptor, designated EDG7, ...
متن کاملPutative active states of a prototypic g-protein-coupled receptor from biased molecular dynamics.
A major current focus of structural work on G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) pertains to the investigation of their active states. However, for virtually all GPCRs, active agonist-bound intermediate states have been difficult to characterize experimentally owing to their higher conformational flexibility, and thus intrinsic instability, as compared to inactive inverse agonist-bound states. I...
متن کاملA novel human G protein-coupled receptor is over-expressed in prostate cancer.
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are involved in a large variety of physiological functions. The number of known members that belong to this large family of receptors has been rapidly increasing. Now, with the availability of the human genome sequence databases, further family members are being identified. We describe the identification of a novel GPCR that shows no significant amino acid id...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and expression of an avian G protein-coupled P2Y receptor.
A family of G protein-coupled P2Y receptors that are activated by adenine and uridine nucleotides has been identified recently. Degenerate primers based on conserved sequences in these P2Y receptors were used to amplify turkey DNA, which was used to isolate the complete coding sequence of a cDNA that encodes a novel G protein-coupled receptor. Stable expression of this avian cDNA in 1321N1 huma...
