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 کاملEvaluation of the role of the retinal G protein-coupled receptor (RGR) in the vertebrate retina in vivo.
The retinal G protein-coupled receptor (RGR) is a protein that structurally resembles visual pigments and other G protein-coupled receptors. RGR may play a role as a photoisomerase in the production of 11-cis-retinal, the chromophore of the visual pigments. As the proposed function of RGR, in a complex with 11-cis-retinol dehydrogenase (RDH5), is to regenerate 11-cis-retinal under light conditi...
متن کاملG-Protein Coupled Receptor Kinase 2 Minimally Regulates Melanopsin Activity in Intrinsically Photosensitive Retinal Ganglion Cells
Phosphorylation is a primary modulator of mammalian G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) activity. The GPCR melanopsin is the photopigment of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in the mammalian retina. Recent evidence from in vitro experiments suggests that the G-protein coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) phosphorylates melanopsin and reduces its activity following light ex...
متن کاملConstitutive phospholipid scramblase activity of a G Protein-coupled receptor*
Opsin, the rhodopsin apoprotein, was recently shown to be an ATP-independent flippase (or scramblase) that equilibrates phospholipids across photoreceptor disc membranes in mammalian retina, a process required for disc homoeostasis. Here we show that scrambling is a constitutive activity of rhodopsin, distinct from its light-sensing function. Upon reconstitution into vesicles, discrete conforma...
متن کاملG-protein-coupled receptor rhodopsin regulates the phosphorylation of retinal insulin receptor.
We have shown previously that phosphoinositide 3-kinase in the retina is activated in vivo through light-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor (IR). The light effect is localized to photoreceptor neurons and is independent of insulin secretion (Rajala, R. V., McClellan, M. E., Ash, J. D., and Anderson, R. E. (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 43319-43326). These results suggest that ...
