Chemokine receptors (CKRs) belong to a subfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and play a crucial chemokine system exhibits great versatility, with more than 50 chemokines interacting with over 20 receptors complexes and revealing the diverse and multifaceted nature of the chemokine receptor system. Currently, there are more than 40 available structures of chemokines and their receptors in the Protein This structural variation may explain why chemokine receptors typically recognize chemokines from only

Historically, ligands for GPCRs have been identified before their receptor counterparts. With the cloning revolution, several unidentified receptors have been found and were labelled as “orphan although it is widely accepted that medium‐chain fatty acids (MCFAs) can bind to and activate this receptor and 2. which ligands can be used as tool compounds to study the function and biology of this receptor CXCR2 and the adenosine A3 receptor (Gaidarov et al., 2018).

October 2022 "The canonical model for G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) activation assumes that stimulation In this model, GPCR signaling is turned-off by receptor phosphorylation via GPCR kinases (GRKs) and subsequent recruitment of β-arrestins, resulting in receptor internalization into endosomes. Internalized receptors can then recycle back to the cell surface or be trafficked to lysosomes for degradation This is the case for the parathyroid hormone (PTH) type 1 receptor (PTHR), which engages on sustained

Glycosylation and sulfation – N-terminal PTMs on chemokine receptors The interaction of chemokine receptors Other examples of O-glycosylation impact on chemokine receptors include the viral receptor US28 (Bagdonaite Tyrosine sulfation consists in the transfer of a sulfate group from the adenosine 3’-phosphate 5’-phosphosulfate The atypical chemokine receptor 2 (ACKR2), US28 and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) also carry endogenously together with relevant enzymes and co-receptor systems.

The chemokine receptor system is implicated in a wide range of inflammatory, autoimmune and infectious The involvement of chemokines and their receptors in several aspects of cancer biology, represents a This redundancy can be seen as problematic in drug discovery as blocking a single receptor might not Therefore, an alternative approach is to make use of chemokine receptors redundancy and the fact that Furthermore, both chemokines and receptors can homo- and hetero-oligomerize, impacting receptor/ligand-binding

October 2022 "Protease activated receptors (PARs) are among the first receptors shown to transactivate other receptors: noticeably, these interactions are not limited to members of the same family, but involve receptors as diverse as receptor kinases, prostanoid receptors, purinergic receptors and ionic channels the evidence for PAR interactions with members of their own family, as well as with other types of receptors pathological relevance of these interactions, since this additional level of molecular cross-talk between receptors
