in the cochlea into electrical signals, which are transmitted by spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) and heard disorders, and the treatment for hearing loss. And A1, A2A, and CB2 activation by agonists has protective functions on noise- or drug-induced hearing Here, we review the key findings of GPCR in the cochlea and discuss the role of GPCR in the cochlea, such as stem cell fate, PCP, hearing loss, and hearing protection."

Neuropeptides and their receptors have been documented in many hemipteran insects, but the differences Commercial grapevines worldwide are plagued by the bug Daktulosphaira vitifoliae (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha Here, 33 neuropeptide precursors and 48 putative neuropeptide G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) genes Peptides (GnRHs) system of Sternorrhyncha was differentiated from those of the other 2 suborders in Hemiptera discovered that the neuropeptide signaling systems of Sternorrhyncha were very different from those of Heteroptera

October 2022 "Herpesviruses are ancient large DNA viruses that have exploited gene capture as part of This review focuses on the vGPCRs encoded by the human β- and γ-herpesviruses. receptors from human cytomegalovirus, which encodes four vGPCRs: US27, US28, UL33, and UL78; human herpesvirus with two receptors: U12 and U51; Epstein-Barr virus with one: BILF1; and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus Finally, we briefly discuss the therapeutic targeting of vGPCRs as future treatment of acute and chronic herpesvirus

September 2022 Cell Surface Calcium-Sensing Receptor Heterodimers: Mutant Gene Dosage Affects Ca 2+ Sensing However, the nature of interactions between VFT units and HH bundles, and the impacts of heterozygous Herein we generated CaSR-GABAB1 and CaSR-GABAB2 chimeras subject to GABAB -dependent endoplasmic reticulum sorting to traffic mutant heterodimers to the cell surface. Mutant heterodimers containing one wild-type (WT) and one mutant VFT domain, however, corresponding to

Here, we demonstrate a physical interaction between 5-HT2A and TrkB in vitro and in vivo using co-immunoprecipitation Heterodimerization decreased TrkB autophosphorylation, preventing its activation with agonist 7,8-DHF and hippocampus, which is in accordance with our findings demonstrating the prevalence of 5-HT2A–TrkB heteroreceptor Our data reveal the functional role of 5-HT2A–TrkB receptor heterodimerization and suggest that the regulated
