Class B G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are notoriously difficult to target by small molecules because Using the parathyroid hormone type 1 receptor (PTHR) as a prototypic class B GPCR target, and a combination precise druggable sites and identify allosteric modulators of PTHR signaling that could be extended to GPCRs

allosteric binding site (IABS) has recently been identified at several G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs To chemically induce CCR9 degradation, we then developed the first PROTAC targeting the IABS of GPCRs our CCR9-PROTAC is able to reduce CCR9 levels, thereby offering an unprecedented approach to modulate GPCR

molecular recognition of two peptidyl mating pheromones by their corresponding G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs Here, we investigated the stringency of the two GPCRs, Mam2 and Map3, for their respective pheromones First, we switched GPCRs between S. pombe and the closely related species Schizosaccharomyces octosporus Thus, the differences in these two GPCRs might reflect the significantly distinct stringency/flexibility

The G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of membrane receptors, with nearly 800 The recognition that GPCRs may physically interact with each other has led to the hypothesis that their Furthermore, the formation of GPCRs higher order oligomers provides the structural basis for organizing

regulate a wide range of signaling events, most notably when bound to active G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs Among the known effectors recruited by GPCR-bound arrestins are Src family kinases, which regulate cellular determined the crystal structure of the Fgr SH3 domain at 1.9 Å resolution and developed a model for the GPCR-arrestin

vasoconstrictors, resulting in enhanced signalling through their cognate G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR Prolonged vasoconstrictor GPCR signalling increases arterial contraction and stimulates signalling pathways GPCR signalling through phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) promotes VSMC proliferation In VSMC, G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is known to regulate numerous vasoconstrictor GPCRs

Alterations in the expression and/or activity of brain G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) such as dopamine Since studies have indicated that flavonoids can target brain GPCRs and provide neuroprotection via inhibition Functional GPCR assays unfolded the compound's antagonist behavior on D1R (IC50 42.1 ± 0.35 μM) and agonist

Several neurotransmitters and neuromodulators, acting through G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), fine-tune However, intracellular partners linking GPCRs to TASK1 modulation are not yet well-known. We hypothesized that isoform 2 of rho-kinase (ROCK2), acting as downstream GPCRs, mediates adjustment Furthermore, ROCK activity assays were performed to evaluate the ability of various physiological GPCR
