Multidimensional Scaling Reveals the Main Evolutionary Pathways of Class A G-Protein-Coupled Receptors
Class A G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of transmembrane receptors in the human genome. Understanding the mechanisms which drove the evolution of such a large family would help understand the specificity of each GPCR sub-family with applications to drug design. To gain evolutionary information on class A GPCRs, we explored their sequence space by metric multidi...
متن کاملEvolutionary Analysis of Mammalian ACE2 and the Key Residues Involved in Binding to the Spike Protein Revealed Potential SARS-CoV-2 Hosts
Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spilled over to humans via wild mammals, entering the host cell using angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as receptor through Spike (S) protein binding. While SARS-CoV-2 became fully adapted to humans and globally spread, some mammal species were infected back. The present study evaluated the potential risk of mammals...
متن کاملA two-entropies analysis to identify functional positions in the transmembrane region of class A G protein-coupled receptors.
Residues in the transmembrane region of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are important for ligand binding and activation, but the function of individual positions is poorly understood. Using a sequence alignment of class A GPCRs (grouped in subfamilies), we propose a so-called "two-entropies analysis" to determine the potential role of individual positions in the transmembrane region of clas...
متن کاملStructural evolution of G-protein-coupled receptors: a sequence space approach.
Class A G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) provide a fascinating example of evolutionary success. In this review, we discuss how metric multidimensional scaling (MDS), a multivariate analysis method, complements traditional tree-based phylogenetic methods and helps decipher the mechanisms that drove the evolution of class A GPCRs. MDS provides low-dimensional representations of a distance matr...
متن کاملHigh glucose condition down-regulates the inhibitory G-protein subunit, Gαi, in pheochromocytoma PC12 cells
Introduction: G-proteins have an important role in the cell signaling of numerous receptors. The situation of G-proteins in health and disease and their critical role in the development of diabetic side effects is an interested scientific field. Here, the changes in the expression of G-protein subunits (Gαi, Gαs and Gβ) were evaluated in hyperglycemic situation of PC12 cells as...
