2. 1. G protein-coupled receptor regulation: The role of protein interactions and receptor trafficking

   Author : Caroline Sandén; Drug Target Discovery; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; receptor trafficking; B1 receptor; receptor oligomerization; estrogen; GPER1; G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1; EP24.15; BK; bradykinin; B1R; B2R; B2 receptor; GPCR; receptor maturation;

   Abstract : The superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) is the largest gene family in the human genome. GPCR-mediated signaling operates in every human cell, and about 50% of existing clinically useful drugs act through GPCR. READ MORE

4. 2. Assay development for studies of G protein-coupled receptors at the single-molecule level

   Author : Olov Wahlsten; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TIRF microscopy; colocalization; drug discovery; QCM-D; GPCR; pharmacodynamics; kinetics; equilibrium fluctuation analysis;

   Abstract : G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), also known as seven transmembrane (7TM) receptors,is the largest family of cell surface receptors. These receptors play a key role in transmittinga wide variety of signals across the cell membrane and are involved in physiologicalprocesses such as sensory transduction, cell-cell communication, neuronal transmission,and hormonal signaling.

5. 3. The Gene Repertoire of G protein-coupled Receptors : New Genes, Phylogeny, and Evolution

   Author : Þóra Kristín Bjarnadóttir; Helgi B. Schiöth; Robert Fredriksson; Kurt Kristiansen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacology; Bioinformatics; Evolution; GPCR; Phylogeny; Farmakologi; Pharmacological research; Farmakologisk forskning;

   Abstract : The superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is one of the largest protein families of mammalian genomes and can be divided into five main families; Glutamate, Rhodopsin, Adhesion, Frizzled, and Secretin. GPCRs participate in most major physiological functions, contributing to the fact that they are important targets in drug discovery. READ MORE

6. 4. New approaches to data-driven analysis and enhanced sampling simulations of G protein-coupled receptors

   Author : Oliver Fleetwood; Lucie Delemotte; Erik Lindahl; Ulrich Zachariae; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; GPCR; G protein-coupled receptors; Molecular Dynamics; MD; Enhanced Sampling; beta2 adrenergic receptor; beta2; Biological Physics; Biologisk fysik;

   Abstract : Proteins are large biomolecules that carry out specific functions within living organisms. Understanding how proteins function is a massive scientific challenge with a wide area of applications. In particular, by controlling protein function we may develop therapies for many diseases.

7. 5. The G protein-coupled receptor GPR30 signalosome - A novel G protein-independent mechanism regulating cAMP signaling and receptor trafficking

   Author : Stefan Broselid; Drug Target Discovery; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; AKAP5; AKAP; MAGUK; cAMP signaling; constitutive signaling; signalosome; GPER; GPR30; GPCR; cytokeratin; RAMP3; apoptotic signaling; breast cancer; PDZ; PDZ-ligand;

   Abstract : The large protein family called G Protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) has co-evolved with life throughout evolution; from single cell organisms all the way to complex beings such as us humans. The fact that GPCRs are involved in essentially every physiological event, and that ~50% of drugs on the current market are either directly or indirectly targeted towards the function of GPCRs, we can be certain of their considerable importance.
