- Overview of adhesion GPCRs self-activation
Among the different families of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), adhesion GPCRs (aGPCRs) represent Different studies have shown that aGPCRs such as Lphns have promiscuous behavior, where in a constitutive state Lphns signal through different types of G proteins, so knowing the factors that determine the Finally a comparative close analysis of the different Cryo-EM receptor structures with Gq, Gs, Gi and G12 showed that Gq/Gs have a similar mode of receptor binding, while Gi/G12 use a different engagement

- Dynamic recognition of naloxone, morphine and endomorphin1 in the same pocket of µ-opioid receptors
a 1-μs time scale and metadynamics-enhanced conformational sampling are used here to determine the different This finding reveals a dynamic mechanism for the response of MOR to different ligands and provides a
- Recurrent high-impact mutations at cognate structural positions in class A G protein-coupled ...
Because there are many more GPCRs than effectors, mutations in different receptors could perturb signaling These data suggest that recurrent impactful oncogenic mutations perturb different GPCRs to subvert signaling The possibility that multiple different GPCRs could moonlight as drivers or enablers of a given cancer
- New role of β-arrestins in MOR signaling
Therefore, the study of the different signal transductions triggered by the opioid-receptor interaction proposals is to take advantage of biased agonism, i.e. when the same receptor signals downstream through different signaling pathways triggered by different molecules2. There are several reports that have addressed the differences in the mechanisms of transduction triggered
