Dimerization of G-protein-coupled receptors: roles in signal transduction.
Recently, many G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been demonstrated to form constitutive dimers consisting of identical or distinct monomeric subunits. The discovery of GPCR dimerization has revealed a new level of molecular cross-talk between signalling molecules and may define a general mechanism that modulates the function of GPCRs under both physiological and pathological conditions. ...
متن کاملMapping the intramolecular signal transduction of G-protein coupled receptors.
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), a major gatekeeper of extracellular signals on plasma membrane, are unarguably one of the most important therapeutic targets. Given the recent discoveries of allosteric modulations, an allosteric wiring diagram of intramolecular signal transductions would be of great use to glean the mechanism of receptor regulation. Here, by evaluating betweenness centralit...
متن کاملG-Protein-Coupled Receptors Signal Victory
The 2012 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Brian K. Kobilka and Robert J. Lefkowitz for their studies of G-protein-coupled receptors. Their pioneering work over the past 40 years has provided detailed molecular insight into the structure and function of this fundamentally important family of receptors.
متن کاملTransmembrane signal transduction by peptide hormones via family B G protein-coupled receptors
Although family B G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) contain only 15 members, they play key roles in transmembrane signal transduction of hormones. Family B GPCRs are drug targets for developing therapeutics for diseases ranging from metabolic to neurological disorders. Despite their importance, the molecular mechanism of activation of family B GPCRs remains largely unexplored due to the chall...
متن کاملSingle-Molecule Kinetic Analysis of Stochastic Signal Transduction Mediated by G-Protein Coupled Chemoattractant Receptors
Cellular chemotactic behaviors are typical examples of stochastic signal transduction in living cells that have been investigated in detail both experimentally and theoretically. In this chapter, we describe single-molecule kinetic analysis for stochastic signal transduction in chemotactic responses mediated by G proteincoupled chemoattractant receptors in order to give deeper understanding of ...
