  • β-arrestin1 promotes tauopathy by transducing GPCR signaling, disrupting microtubules and autophagy

    G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been shown to play integral roles in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis However, it is unclear how diverse GPCRs similarly affect Aβ and tau pathogenesis. GPCRs share a common mechanism of action via the β-arrestin scaffolding signaling complexes, which not only serve to desensitize GPCRs by internalization, but also mediate multiple downstream signaling events As signaling via the GPCRs, β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR), and metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (mGluR2

  • Chemical signaling regulates axon regeneration via the GPCR-Gqα pathway in Caenorhabditis elegans

    demonstrate that the chemoreceptor genes, srg-36 and srg-37, which encode G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs Here, we show that SRG-36 and SRG-37 act as upstream GPCRs that activate EGL-30. SRG-36 and SRG-37 are GPCRs for the dauer-inducing ascaroside, ascr#5. Thus, ascaroside signaling promotes axon regeneration by activating the GPCR-Gqα pathway.
