  • Cholesterol occupies the lipid translocation pathway to block phospholipid scrambling by a GPCR

    September 2022 "Class A (rhodopsin-like) G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are constitutive phospholipid scrambling is not detectable in the resting plasma membrane of mammalian cells that is replete with GPCRs considered whether cholesterol, a prominent component of the plasma membrane, limits the ability of GPCRs This mechanism may explain the inability of GPCRs to scramble lipids at the plasma membrane."

  • Ligands can differentially and temporally modulate GPCR interaction with 14-3-3 isoforms

    We found that some agonist-induced GPCR/14-3-3 signal intensities can rapidly decrease. could also be paralleled with GPCR/β-arrestin-2 signals, indicating diminished levels of GPCR/signal Furthermore, we found that certain GPCR ligands can regulate GPCR/14-3-3 signals temporally, suggesting a new approach for GPCR drug development by modulating GPCR/14-3-3 signals temporally."
