Tools and Strategies to Match Peptide-Ligand Receptor Pairs.
Peptide signals have emerged as an important class of regulators in cell-to-cell communication in plants. Several families of small, secreted proteins with a conserved C-terminal Pro-rich motif have been identified as functional peptide signals in Arabidopsis thaliana. These proteins are presumed to be trimmed proteolytically and undergo posttranslational modifications, such as hydroxylation of...
متن کاملLigand-receptor pairs in plant peptide signaling.
Extensive studies on plant signaling molecules over the past decade indicate that plant cell-to-cell communication, as is the case with animal systems, makes use of small peptide signals and specific receptors. To date, four peptide-ligand-receptor pairs have been identified and shown to be involved in a variety of processes. Systemin and phytosulfokine (PSK), the first and second signaling pep...
متن کاملA tale of two systems: peptide ligand-receptor pairs in plant development.
Plants have developed intercellular signaling systems that use secreted peptides and plasma membrane-localized receptor-like kinases (RLKs). Although there has been little experimental evidence linking specific peptide ligands to receptors, recent studies of several ligand-receptor pairs have revealed their increasingly important roles in cell-cell communications during plant development. In th...
متن کاملDelta Opioid Receptor and Its Peptide: A Receptor-Ligand Neuroprotection
In pursuit of neurological therapies, the opioid system, specifically delta opioid receptors and delta opioid peptides, demonstrates promising therapeutic potential for stroke, Parkinson's disease, and other degenerative neurological conditions. Recent studies offer strong evidence in support of the therapeutic use of delta opioid receptors, and provide insights into the underlying mechanisms o...
متن کاملCreating new specific ligand-receptor pairs for transgene regulation.
The creation of specifically matched ligand-receptor pairs that are orthogonal to naturally present interacting pairs is essential for the development of small molecule-regulated gene expression systems for biotechnological applications. However, for many years this task has represented a significant challenge for synthetic chemists and protein engineers. Recently, Doyle and colleagues demonstr...
