Agonist Binding to Chemosensory Receptors: A Systematic Bioinformatics Analysis
Human G-protein coupled receptors (hGPCRs) constitute a large and highly pharmaceutically relevant membrane receptor superfamily. About half of the hGPCRs' family members are chemosensory receptors, involved in bitter taste and olfaction, along with a variety of other physiological processes. Hence these receptors constitute promising targets for pharmaceutical intervention. Molecular modeling ...
متن کاملAgonist binding to peptide hormone receptors.
A fundamental issue in molecular pharmacology is to define how agonist-receptor interaction differs from that of antagonist-receptor interaction. The V(1a) vasopressin receptor (V(1a)R) is a member of a family of related G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are activated by vasopressin, oxytocin (OT) and related peptides. A segment of the N-terminus that was required for agonist binding, bu...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of Radioligand Binding to a-Adrenergic Receptors ANALYSIS OF GUANINE NUCLEOTIDE REGULATION OF AGONIST BINDING IN RELATION TO RECEPTOR
Computer modeling of data obtained from agonist competition with [3H]dihydroergocryptine for binding to a-adrenergic receptors in human platelet, rabbit uterine, and rat liver membranes has been performed in an attempt to gain greater insight into the a-adrenergic receptor subtypes and their regulation by guanine nucleotides. In platelet membranes, which appear to contain only a2 adrenergic rec...
متن کاملAgonist and antagonist binding in human glycine receptors.
The human glycine receptor (hGlyR) is an anion-permeable ligand-gated channel that is part of a larger superfamily of receptors called the Cys-loop family. hGlyRs are particularly amenable to single-channel recordings, thus making them a model experimental system for understanding the Cys-loop receptor family in general. Understanding the relationship between agonist binding and efficacy in Cys...
متن کاملA Three-Site Mechanism for Agonist/Antagonist Selective Binding to Vasopressin Receptors.
Molecular-dynamics simulations with metadynamics enhanced sampling reveal three distinct binding sites for arginine vasopressin (AVP) within its V2 -receptor (V2 R). Two of these, the vestibule and intermediate sites, block (antagonize) the receptor, and the third is the orthosteric activation (agonist) site. The contacts found for the orthosteric site satisfy all the requirements deduced from ...
