Family resemblances: A common fold for some dimeric ion-coupled secondary transporters
Membrane transporter proteins catalyze the passage of a broad range of solutes across cell membranes, allowing the uptake and efflux of crucial compounds. Because of the difficulty of expressing, purifying, and crystallizing integral membrane proteins, relatively few transporter structures have been elucidated to date. Although every membrane transporter has unique characteristics, structural a...
متن کاملFamily resemblances? Ligand binding and activation of family A and B G-protein-coupled receptors.
In April 2007, the Biochemical Society held a meeting to compare and contrast ligand binding and activation of Family A and B GPCRs (G-protein-coupled receptors). Being the largest class, Family A GPCRs usually receive the most attention, although a previous Biochemical Society meeting has focused on Family B GPCRs. The aim of the present meeting was to bring researchers of both families togeth...

The receptor for CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) is a heterodimer between a GPCR (G-proteincoupled receptor), CLR (calcitonin receptor-like receptor) and an accessory protein, RAMP1 (receptor activitymodifying protein 1). Models have been produced of RAMP1 and CLR. It is likely that the C-terminus of CGRP interacts with the extracellular N-termini of CLR and RAMP1; the extreme N-terminus...

Over the years, the association of peptide ligands to Family B GPCRs (G-protein coupled receptors) has been characterized by a number of experimental and theoretical techniques. For the PTH (parathyroid hormone) ligand–receptor system, important insight has been provided by photoaffinity labelling experiments and the elucidation of direct contact points between ligand and receptor. Our research...

Chemokines are a family of small basic proteins which induce the directed migration of cells, notably leucocytes, by binding to specific GPCRs (G-protein-coupled receptors ). Both chemokines and their receptors have been implicated in a host of clinically important diseases, leading to the notion that antagonism of the chemokine–chemokine receptor network may be therapeutically advantageous. Co...
