Receptor oligomerization: from early evidence to current understanding in class B GPCRs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dimerization or oligomerization of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are known to modulate receptor functions in terms of ontogeny, ligand-oriented regulation, pharmacological diversity, signal transduction, and internalization. Class B GPCRs are receptors to a family of hormones including secretin, growth hormone-releasing hormone, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and parathyroid hormone, among others. The functional implications of receptor dimerization have extensively been studied in class A GPCRs, while less is known regarding its function in class B GPCRs. This article reviews receptor oligomerization in terms of the early evidence and current understanding particularly of class B GPCRs.

G-protein Coupled Receptor Dimerization
A growing body of evidence suggests that GPCRs exist and function as dimers or higher oligomers. The evidence for GPCR dimerization comes from biochemical, biophysical and functional studies. In addition, researchers have shown the occurrence of heterodimerization between different members of the GPCR family. Two receptors can interact with each other to make a dimer through their extracellular...
متن کاملChemokine receptors and other G protein-coupled receptors.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Class A G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), including the chemokine receptors, CCR5 and CXCR4, share a seven transmembrane-spanning alpha-helix architecture that accommodates signal propagation from across biological membranes. CXCR4 and CCR5 are utilized as co-receptors during HIV viral entry and, therefore, crystal structures of GPCRs aid in the understanding of their funct...
متن کاملApplication of oligomer interface prediction method in Class A G-protein coupled receptors
About 1000 genes encoding GPCRs (G-protein Coupled Receptors) exist in human genome. Over 30% of clinically marketed drugs are active at this family and GPCRs are one of the most important target classes of proteins for drug. Over the past 25 years, the formation of GPCR homo and hetero oligomer has been suggested by biochemical and pharmacological evidence. More recently, it was revealed that ...
متن کاملReceptor Oligomerization in Family B1 of G-Protein-Coupled Receptors: Focus on BRET Investigations and the Link between GPCR Oligomerization and Binding Cooperativity
The superfamily of the seven transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptors (7TM/GPCRs) is the largest family of membrane-associated receptors. GPCRs are involved in the pathophysiology of numerous human diseases, and they constitute an estimated 30-40% of all drug targets. During the last two decades, GPCR oligomerization has been extensively studied using methods like bioluminescence resonance ene...
متن کاملImpact of Lipid Composition and Receptor Conformation on the Spatio-temporal Organization of μ-Opioid Receptors in a Multi-component Plasma Membrane Model
The lipid composition of cell membranes has increasingly been recognized as playing an important role in the function of various membrane proteins, including G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs). For instance, experimental and computational evidence has pointed to lipids influencing receptor oligomerization directly, by physically interacting with the receptor, and/or indirectly, by altering the...
