Regulation of G protein-coupled receptor trafficking.
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate cellular responses to diverse extracellular stimuli to play a vital role in the control of physiology and behaviour. GPCR trafficking is of fundamental importance for the regulation of GPCRs signaling. In this mini review, we will discuss some of the recent findings on the mechanisms that regulate GPCR trafficking, which include (i) large dense-core v...
متن کاملG-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 کاملPDZ Protein Regulation of G Protein-Coupled Receptor Trafficking and Signaling Pathways.
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) contribute to the regulation of every aspect of human physiology and are therapeutic targets for the treatment of numerous diseases. As a consequence, understanding the myriad of mechanisms controlling GPCR signaling and trafficking is essential for the development of new pharmacological strategies for the treatment of human pathologies. Of the many GPCR-inte...
متن کاملProtease-activated receptors: new concepts in regulation of G protein-coupled receptor signaling and trafficking.
Most G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are reversibly activated upon ligand binding. However, activation of protease-activated G protein-coupled receptors (PARs) occurs through an irreversible proteolytic event that results in the generation of a tethered ligand that cannot diffuse away. This unusual mode of PAR activation raises important questions regarding the mechanisms responsible for te...
متن کاملMultifactorial Regulation of G Protein-Coupled Receptor Endocytosis
Endocytosis is a process by which cells absorb extracellular materials via the inward budding of vesicles formed from the plasma membrane. Receptor-mediated endocytosis is a highly selective process where receptors with specific binding sites for extracellular molecules internalize via vesicles. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest single family of plasma-membrane receptors with ...
