2022 GPCRs steer G i and G s selectivity via TM5-TM6 switches as revealed by structures of serotonin receptors hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is an important neurotransmitter that activates 12 different G protein-coupled receptors Here, we report the structures of the serotonin receptors 5-HT4, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7 with Gs, and 5-HT4 structures reveal that transmembrane helices TM5 and TM6 alternate lengths as a macro-switch to determine receptor's selectivity or promiscuity by class A GPCRs and extend the basis of ligand recognition at serotonin receptors

neurons The activity of striatal medium-spiny projection neurons is regulated by D1 and D2 dopamine receptors The D1 receptor (D1R) is a Gαs/olf-coupled GPCR which activates a cAMP/PKA/DARPP-32 signalling cascade

September 2022 "GPCR signaling and function depend on their associated proteins and subcellular locations. Besides G-proteins and β-arrestins, 14-3-3 proteins participate in GPCR trafficking and signaling, and they connect a large number of diverse proteins to form signaling networks. Multiple 14-3-3 isoforms exist, and a GPCR can differentially interact with different 14-3-3 isoforms in response to agonist treatment. We found that some agonist-induced GPCR/14-3-3 signal intensities can rapidly decrease. We confirmed that this phenomenon of rapidly decreasing agonist-induced GPCR/14-3-3 signal intensity could also be paralleled with GPCR/β-arrestin-2 signals, indicating diminished levels of GPCR/signal adaptor complexes during endocytosis. The temporal signals could implicate either GPCR/14-3-3 complex dissociation or the complex undergoing a degradation process. Furthermore, we found that certain GPCR ligands can regulate GPCR/14-3-3 signals temporally, suggesting a new approach for GPCR drug development by modulating GPCR/14-3-3 signals temporally."

Recurrent high-impact mutations at cognate structural positions in class A G protein-coupled receptors expressed in tumors G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of human proteins. Because there are many more GPCRs than effectors, mutations in different receptors could perturb signaling but rather that cognate mutations with similar effects on GPCR function are distributed across many receptors We also discovered that no single receptor drives this pattern, but rather multiple receptors contain

October 2022 "Background: Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are unpaired electron carriers that uncouple oxygen intake by the electron transport chain from ATP production in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. The physiological activities of UCPs have been hotly contested, and the involvement of UCPs in the pathogenesis and progression of diabetes mellitus is among the greatest concerns. UCPs are hypothesised to be triggered by superoxide and then reduce mitochondrial free radical production, potentially protecting diabetes mellitus patients who are experiencing oxidative stress. Objectives: The objectives of the study are to find out the newest ways to treat diabetes mellitus through protein uncoupling." Read more at the source #DrGPCR #GPCR #IndustryNews

August 2022 "The calcium-permeable cation channel TRPM3 can be activated by heat and the endogenous steroid pregnenolone sulfate. TRPM3's best understood function is its role as a peripheral noxious heat sensor in mice. However, the channel is expressed in various tissues and cell types including neurons as well as glial and epithelial cells. TRPM3 expression patterns differ between species and change during development. Furthermore, a plethora of TRPM3 variants that result from alternative splicing have been identified and the majority of these isoforms are yet to be characterized. Moreover, the mechanisms underlying regulation of TRPM3 are largely unexplored. In addition, a micro-RNA gene (miR-204) is located within the TRPM3 gene. This complexity makes it difficult to obtain a clear picture of TRPM3 characteristics. However, a clear picture is needed to unravel TRPM3's full potential as experimental tool, diagnostic marker and therapeutic target. Therefore, the newest data related to TRPM3 have to be discussed and to be put in context as soon as possible to be up-to-date and to accelerate the translation from bench to bedside. The aim of this review is to highlight recent results and developments with particular focus on findings from studies involving ocular tissues and cells or peripheral neurons of rodents and humans."
