and subsequent activation of the G-protein heterotrimeric complex (α, β, and γ); it is at this point when For example, μ opioid receptor (MOR) interacts with Gαi/o and Gαz subunits, which have a slow enzymatic While in cancer, RGS proteins are involved in regulating cell proliferation and survival[8]. In conclusion, RGS proteins are essential modulators for the GPCR signaling mediated by G proteins, which Wang, Q., L.Y. Liu-Chen, and J.R.

binding, where the negatively charged residues, as a consequence of the negatively charged aminoacids N-terminal PTMs include sulfation and glycosylation which contribute to the overall negative charge of as sulfation, both PTMs which co-localize in the Trans-Golgi network (Mehta AY et al. 2020). seem to be widely conserved between human and murine sequences. Both PTMs were shown to contribute to the binding of CCL5 and CCL8 and to a minor extend CCL3.

Structurally they characterize by a long extracellular region of adhesion-like domains which modulate As if its structure were not already complex enough, during their synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum When I started studying aGPCRs, the structural conformation of the GAIN domain of ADGRL1/Lphn1 and ADGRB3 These crystal structures showed how the Stalk region, which is a short peptide released from the GAIN during auto-proteolysis, has a β-lamin conformation and is held within the GAIN surrounded by numerous

discovery G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) can form biologically active homodimers or heterodimers which But what are the conformation changes that drive GPCR dimerization? Wan, 2020). What is the potential of targeting GPCR dimer interface in drug discovery? But how can we target GPCR dimers?

With the cloning revolution, several unidentified receptors have been found and were labelled as “orphan process of de-orphanizing, is of great importance in order to better understanding human physiology as well and 2. which ligands can be used as tool compounds to study the function and biology of this receptor properties which can help to better elucidate the molecular pharmacology of this receptor. In addition, several GPR84 ligands have been described as well as GPR84 knockout mice.

What is the molecular basis that determines that GPCRs bind selectively or promiscuously to different Prior to this report we did not know how different serotonin receptor subtypes which share high sequence The binding pockets for serotonin were virtually identical between the receptor-Gs and receptor-Gi complexes In the same way, as in other GPCRs-G protein complexes, the structural analysis revealed that electrostatic Likewise, in this work the authors identify for the first time the specific amino acids that modulate
