- 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

- Mechanism of enhanced sensitivity of mutated β-adrenergic-like octopamine receptor to amitraz in...
October 2022 Mechanism of enhanced sensitivity of mutated β-adrenergic-like octopamine receptor to amitraz in honeybee Apis mellifera: An insight from MD simulations "Background: Amitraz is one of the critical acaricides/insecticides for effective control of pest infestation of Varroa destructor mite, a devastating parasite of Apis mellifera, because of its low toxicity to honeybees. Previous assays verified that a typical G protein-coupled receptor, β-adrenergic-like octopamine receptor (Octβ2R), is the unique target of amitraz, but the honeybee Octβ2R resists to amitraz. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of the enhanced sensitivity or toxicity of amitraz to mutated honeybee Octβ2RE208V/I335T/I350V is not fully understood. Here, molecular dynamics simulations are employed to explore the implied mechanism of the enhanced sensitivity to amitraz in mutant honeybee Octβ2R."
