As therapeutic options are limited, novel targets and agents for therapeutic intervention are urgently

During years, several studies have depicted the pivotal role of the cytoskeleton and lipid microdomains

regarding the details of neuropeptide signaling and how it contributes to pathophysiology, which is likely of corneal diseases with promising results, necessitating the need for a comprehensive review of the literature

In light of these new results, it is imperative that we revisit previous studies regarding the role of

then highlight the evidence supporting the use of various drugs including orthosteric and allosteric ligands

of class C GPCRs whose members share the same architecture, comprising a Venus Flytrap (VFT) module linked Using size-exclusion chromatography coupled with light scattering, we found that hTAS1R2-VFT behaves Ligand binding quantified by intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence showed that hTAS1R2-VFT is capable of have deleterious effects on cellular assays, could impact the ability of hTAS1R2-VFT to bind sweet ligands As expected, the ligand affinities of hTAS1R2-VFT were drastically reduced through the introduction of

metadynamics-enhanced conformational sampling are used here to determine the different interactions of these two ligands The endogenous peptide ligand endomorphin-1 (EM-1) underwent almost no significant conformational changes This finding reveals a dynamic mechanism for the response of MOR to different ligands and provides a basis for the discovery of new ligands for MOR at the atomic level."

TGR5 is widely distributed in the brain, lung, heart, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidney, stomach, jejunum

During Drosophila embryonic salivary gland (SG) invagination, the GPCR ligand Folded gastrulation (Fog Our data support a model wherein Smog regulates distinct myosin pools and actin cytoskeleton in a ligand-dependent

Using purified Fzd proteins reconstituted in lipid nanodiscs, we investigated the factors that promote We found that the affinity of Fzd for Dvl was not affected by Wnt ligands, in contrast to other members of the GPCR superfamily for which the binding of extracellular ligands affects the affinity for downstream Instead, Fzd-Dvl binding was enhanced by increased concentration of the lipid PI(4,5)P2, which is generated by Dvl-associated lipid kinases in response to Wnt and which is required for LRP5/6 phosphorylation.

nucleus accumbens shell and structures in the prefrontal cortex and amygdala, which were previously linked

receptor-mediated Gα protein signalling using a G protein activation assay and second messenger assay conducted on living

KISS1R signalling and physiological output in the hormone receptor-negative MDA-MB-231 and BT-20 cell lines MDA-MB-231 cells are metastatic when implanted in mice while BT-20 are not and remain epithelial-like We show that both cell lines express KISS1R mRNA and respond to KP-10 by elevating calcium mobilisation Interestingly, both cell lines displayed different complements of β-arrestin 1 and 2 expression. stimulate migration or pro-metastatic behaviour, as divergent responses were observed in the two TNBC lines

We identified a novel GRK3 inhibitor, LD2, through a chemical-library screen.

Chemerin is produced by the liver and secreted into the circulation as a precursor, but it is also expressed

Using shRNA knockdown and CRISPR/Cas9 knockout cell lines, as well as mouse models, we confirmed the These findings shed light on a sophisticated signaling network directed by intestinal microbial metabolites that orchestrate P-gp expression and highlight unappreciated connections between multiple pathways linked

Smad2L "In addition to the carboxy region, Smad2 transcription factor can be phosphorylated in the linker Phosphorylation of Smad2 linker region (Smad2L) promotes the expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor were investigated<br />by western blotting using protein-specific antibodies against phospho-Smad2 linker

Significantly, many ligands acting on neurotransmitter receptors have shown great potential for inhibiting

However, little is known about the mechanism for GP coupling and activation for class C GPCRs.

Thus, we investigated the regulatory functions of its β-adrenergic-like octopamine receptor (PxOctβ3)

In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the topic of immunothrombosis has become more relevant than

We also adopted live cell imaging to monitor the whole intracellular trafficking process of F-Hst1.

domain and providing the means for direct regulation of catalytic activity in response to extracellular ligands

CC chemokine receptor 9 (CCR9), an organ-specific chemokine receptor, interacts with its exclusive ligand

Although increasing evidence has suggested the direct role of fentanyl on cancer, little is known on
