SEVENS: Comprehensive Collection of Human Seven Transmembrane Helix Receptors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent progress in determination of human draft sequences [6, 8] and tertiary structure of seventransmembrane-helix receptors (7-TMR) accelerates the comprehensive sequence analysis of 7-TMR in whole human genome. Despite the enormous amount of available data on genome sequences [6, 8], the overviewed families of 7-TMR have not yet been well characterized. Our SEVENS database intends to cover all “7-TMR universe” with not only the known sequences but also to use newly discovered sequence by computational gene finding program.

Expression cloning of cDNA encoding a seven-helix receptor from human placenta with affinity for opioid ligands.
Here we report the expression cloning of cDNA encoding a putative opioid receptor from a human placenta cDNA library. Placental opioid receptors are of the kappa type. As the dynorphin opioid peptides are kappa-selective, a dynorphin ligand was used in an affinity-enrichment (panning) procedure to select transiently transfected COS-7 cells expressing kappa receptor binding sites. The cloned cDN...
متن کاملGenetic mapping of the human C5a receptor. Identification of transmembrane amino acids critical for receptor function.
Many hormones and sensory stimuli signal through a superfamily of seven transmembrane-spanning receptors to activate heterotrimeric G proteins. How the seven transmembrane segments of the receptors (a molecular architecture of bundled alpha-helices conserved from yeast to man) work as "on/off" switches remains unknown. Previously, we used random saturation mutagenesis coupled with a genetic sel...
متن کاملStructural studies of the putative helix 8 in the human beta(2) adrenergic receptor: an NMR study.
The recently reported crystal structure of bovine rhodopsin revealed a cytoplasmic helix (helix 8) in addition to the seven transmembrane helices. This domain is roughly perpendicular to the transmembrane bundle in the presence of an interface and may be a loop-like structure in the absence of an interface. Several studies carried out on this domain suggested that it might act as a conformation...
متن کاملActivation switch in the transmembrane domain of metabotropic glutamate receptor.
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), members of family 3 G protein-coupled receptors, play pivotal roles in the modulation of synaptic transmission and are important drug targets for various neurological diseases. The structures of the extracellular ligand-binding domain (ECD) of mGluRs and its changes upon ligand binding have been well studied by various techniques, including X-ray cryst...
متن کاملC5a receptor activation. Genetic identification of critical residues in four transmembrane helices.
Hormones and sensory stimuli activate serpentine receptors, transmembrane switches that relay signals to heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins). To understand the switch mechanism, we subjected 93 amino acids in transmembrane helices III, V, VI, and VII of the human chemoattractant C5a receptor to random saturation mutagenesis. A yeast selection identified 121 functioni...
