Peptide interactions with G-protein coupled receptors.
Peptide recognition by G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) is reviewed with an emphasis on the indirect approach used to determine the receptor-bound conformation of peptide ligands. This approach was developed in response to the lack of detailed structural information available for these receptors. Recent advances in the structural determination of rhodopsin (the GPCR of the visual system) by ...
متن کاملConstitutive Activity among Orphan Class-A G Protein Coupled Receptors
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent of constitutive activity among orphan class-A G protein coupled receptors within the cAMP signaling pathway. Constitutive signaling was revealed by changes in gene expression under control of the cAMP response element. Gene expression was measured in Chinese hamster ovary cells transiently co-transfected with plasmids containing a luciferase ...
متن کاملG-protein-coupled receptors for peptide hormones in yeast.
Introduction The conjugation of two haploid yeast cells is usually controlled by the reciprocal exchange of diffusible mating factors, cells of each mating type releasing peptides that induce matingspecific changes in cells of the opposite type. Binding of these peptides, or pheromones, to G-protein-coupled receptors at the surface of the target cell triggers an intracellular response that lead...
متن کاملG Protein-coupled receptors
G protein-coupled receptors and heterotrimeric G proteins can diffuse laterally in the plasma membrane such that one receptor can catalyze the activation (GDP/GTP exchange) of multiple G proteins. In some cases, these processes are fast enough to support molecular signal amplification, where a single receptor maintains the activation of multiple G proteins at steady-state. Amplification in cell...
متن کاملG-protein-coupled receptors.
G-Protein-coupled receptors mediate many of the hypnotic and analgesic actions of the drugs employed in anesthesia. Notably, opioid agonists represent the most successful and efficacious class of analgesic agents employed over the last century. Also, major clinical advances have been made by the study of alpha(2) adrenoceptor agonists, which possess both hypnotic and analgesic qualities that ar...
