7-Methoxy-6-(3-methoxy-benzyloxy)-2-methylisoquinolin-1(2H)-one (named as IS0042) is a newly identified melatoninergic agonist which exhibits selectivity to the type 2 melatonin receptor. Here, we examined the in vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetics pr

The recent identification of Gα(z) expression in C2C12 myoblasts and its demonstrated interaction with the transcription factor Eya2 inferred an unanticipated role of Gα(z) in muscle development. In the present study, endogenous Gα(z) mRNA and pro

Many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are known to modulate cell growth and differentiation by stimulating the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (ERKs). In growth factor signaling, ERKs are typically stimulated through an elaborate ne

A series of substituted N-[3-(3-methoxyphenyl)propyl] amides were synthesized and their binding affinities towards human melatonin MT1 and MT2 receptors were evaluated. It was discovered that a benzyloxyl substituent incorporated at C6 position of th

Cycloastragenol (CAG) is the aglycone derivative of astragaloside IV which has recently been demonstrated to activate telomerase and represents a potential drug candidate for the treatment of degenerative diseases. In the present study, intestinal ab

A broad repertory of G-protein-coupled receptors shows effective coupling with the haematopoietic G16 protein. In the present study, individual residues along the C-terminal alpha5 helix of Galpha16 were examined for their contributions in defining r

G16 can couple indiscriminately to a large number of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), making it a prime candidate as a universal adaptor for GPCRs. In order to increase the promiscuity of Gα16, three chimeras incorporating increasing lengths of
Gα16/z Chimeras Efficiently Link a Wide Range of G Protein–Coupled Receptors to Calcium Mobilization

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent a class of important therapeutic targets for drug discovery. The integration of GPCRs into contemporary high-throughput functional assays is critically dependent on the presence of appropriate G proteins.

The alpha subunit of Gz (alpha(z)) harbors two N-terminal serine residues (at positions 16 and 27) that serve as protein kinase C-mediated phosphorylation sites. The cognate residues in the alpha subunit of Gt1 provide binding surfaces for the beta1

Combinations of two different types of opioid receptors - delta-, kappa-, mu-opioid receptors (DOR, KOR, and MOR) and opioid receptor-like receptor 1 (ORL(1)) - were co-expressed with the alpha subunit of G(16) in COS-7 cells, and the ability of vari
