Abstract

Adhesion G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) are special members of GPCRs with long N-termini containing multiple domains. We overexpressed our collection of receptors together with G-proteins in mammalian cell lines and measured the concentrations of intracellular signaling molecules, such as inositol phosphate and cAMP. Our results show that a subset of tested adhesion GPCRs has constitutive activities and is capable of coupling to a variety of G-proteins. In addition, we have identified a small molecule compound that specifically activates one of the subfamily members, GPR97, and the activation was confirmed by an independent GTPγS assay. These findings suggest classical GPCR screening assays could be applied to de-orphanize these receptors, and provide pharmacological tools to improve understanding of the physiological functions of these receptors.

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins here.

Adherens Junctions

An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell (zonula adherens) or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix (adhesion plaques). Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst to penetrate between epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on adherens junctions here.
