Toward identifying specific roles for G-protein β and γ subunit variants in olfactory reception
G-proteins mediate many cellular signaling processes; some are restricted to certain tissues or cell types, whereas others are involved in more general activities. For example, information regarding a change in the concentration of peptides, hormones, lipids, neurotransmitters, ions, odorants and tastants or an influx of photons to the eye can be transmitted to a cell via G-proteins. Heterotrim...
متن کاملMonitoring interactions between G-protein-coupled receptors and β-arrestins
β-Arrestins 1 and 2 are ubiquitously expressed intracellular adaptor and scaffolding proteins that play important roles in GPCR (G-protein-coupled receptor) desensitization, internalization, intracellular trafficking and G-protein-independent signalling. Recent developments in BRET (bioluminescence resonance energy transfer) technology enable novel insights to be gained from real-time monitorin...
متن کاملDual-Color Bioluminescence Analysis for Quantitatively Monitoring G-Protein-Coupled Receptor and β-Arrestin Interactions
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are crucial elements in mammalian signal transduction, and are considered to represent potent drug targets. We have previously developed a GPCR assay system in cultured cells based on complementation of split fragments of click beetle (Pyrearinus termitilluminans) luciferase. The interaction of GPCRs with its target, β-arrestin, resulted in strong emission of...
متن کاملBimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) analysis of protein interactions in live cells.
Bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) analysis enables direct visualization of protein interactions and modifications in living cells. It is based on the facilitated association of two nonfluorescent fragments of a fluorescent protein fused to putative interaction partners. The intrinsic fluorescence of the active complex enables detection of protein interactions with high sensitivity...
متن کاملBimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) analysis as a probe of protein interactions in living cells.
Protein interactions are a fundamental mechanism for the generation of biological regulatory specificity. The study of protein interactions in living cells is of particular significance because the interactions that occur in a particular cell depend on the full complement of proteins present in the cell and the external stimuli that influence the cell. Bimolecular fluorescence complementation (...
