Decoding Corticotropin-Releasing Factor Receptor Type 1 Crystal Structures
The structural analysis of class B G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), cell surface proteins responding to peptide hormones, has until recently been restricted to the extracellular domain (ECD). Corticotropin-releasing factor receptor type 1 (CRF1R) is a class B receptor mediating stress response and also considered a drug target for depression and anxiety. Here we report the crystal structure ...
متن کاملConformational thermostabilisation of corticotropin releasing factor receptor 1
Recent technical advances have greatly facilitated G-protein coupled receptors crystallography as evidenced by the number of successful x-ray structures that have been reported recently. These technical advances include novel detergents, specialised crystallography techniques as well as protein engineering solutions such as fusions and conformational thermostabilisation. Using conformational th...
متن کاملLateral Hypothalamus Corticotropin Releasing Hormone Receptor-1 Inhibition Modulates Stress- Induced Anxiety Behavior
Stress is a reaction to unwanted events disturbing body homeostasis which influences its pathways and target areas. Stress affects the brain through the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) orexinergic system that mediates the effect of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) through CRH receptor type 1 (CRHr1). Therefore, this study explores the outcome of stress exposure on anxiety development and t...
متن کاملLocalization of the type 1 corticotropin releasing factor receptor (CRF-R1) in the embryonic mouse cerebellum.
Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) is present in the adult, as well as in the embryonic and postnatal rodent cerebellum. Further, the distribution of the type 1 CRF receptor has been described in adult and postnatal animals. The focus of the present study is to determine the distribution and cellular relationships of the type 1 CRF receptor (CRF-R1) during embryonic development of the cerebel...
متن کاملCyclotides Isolated from an Ipecac Root Extract Antagonize the Corticotropin Releasing Factor Type 1 Receptor
Cyclotides are plant derived, cystine-knot stabilized peptides characterized by their natural abundance, sequence variability and structural plasticity. They are abundantly expressed in Rubiaceae, Psychotrieae in particular. Previously the cyclotide kalata B7 was identified to modulate the human oxytocin and vasopressin G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), providing molecular validation of the ...
