- Rescue of Cell Surface Expression and Signaling of Mutant Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Receptors
Many cause receptor misfolding and failure to reach the cell surface. Pharmacological chaperones are cell-permeant small molecules that engage nascent mutant GPCRs in the endoplasmic reticulum, stabilizing folding and "rescuing" cell surface expression. We previously demonstrated rescue of cell surface expression of luteinizing hormone receptor mutants of certain mutant FSHRs with severely reduced cell surface expression.

- Production of human A2AAR in lipid nanodiscs for 19F-NMR and single-molecule fluorescence...
October 2022 "We describe production of the human A2A adenosine receptor (A2AAR), a class A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) for 19F-NMR and single-molecule fluorescence (SMF) spectroscopy. We explain in detail steps shared between the two sample preparation strategies, including expression and isolation of A2AAR and assembly of A2AAR in lipid nanodiscs and procedures for incorporation of either 19F-NMR or fluorescence probes. Protocols for SMF experiments include sample setup, data acquisition, data processing, and error analysis. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Wei et al. (2022) and Sušac et al. (2018)." Read more at the source #DrGPCR #GPCR #IndustryNews

- Integrative model of the FSH receptor reveals the structural role of the flexible hinge region
September 2022 "The follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) belongs to the glycoprotein hormone receptors, a subfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). FSHR is involved in reproductive processes such as gonadal development and maturation. Structurally, the extensive extracellular domain, which contains the hormone-binding site and is linked to the transmembrane domain by the hinge region (HR), is characteristic for these receptors. How this HR is involved in hormone binding and signal transduction is still an open question. We combined in vitro and in situ chemical crosslinking, disulfide pattern analysis, and mutation data with molecular modeling to generate experimentally driven full-length models. These models provide insights into the interface, important side-chain interactions, and activation mechanism. The interface indicates a strong involvement of the connecting loop. A major rearrangement of the HR seems implausible due to the tight arrangement and fixation by disulfide bonds. The models are expected to allow for testable hypotheses about signal transduction and drug development for GPHRs." Read more at the source #DrGPCR #GPCR #IndustryNews
