Post-translational modifications regulate β2-Adrenoceptor signaling in cardiac myocytes
β2AR (β2 adrenoceptor) is a prototypical G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) that plays an important role in cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology through activation of the classic Gs-adenylate cyclase-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathway. In the mammalian …

Internalisation of the type II gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor of marmoset monkey
The mammalian type II GnRH receptor has a C-terminal tail unlike the mammalian type I GnRH receptor, which uniquely lacks the cytoptasmic C- terminal domain. lnternalisation of a mammalian type ll GnRH receptor has never been investigated, therefore this thesis studies the internalisation pathway …

RATE-LIMITING STEP OF CONE PHOTOTRANSDUCTION RECOVERY AND OGUCHI DISEASE MECHANISMS
… Ching-Kang Jason Chen, Ph.D. Retinal photoreceptors provide the first gateway in which light information from the environment is transformed into neuronal signals. The cone and rod photoreceptors are responsible for day and night vision, respectively. Understanding rod and cone …

Phosphorylation Bar Codes Induce Distinct Conformations and Functionalities of beta-Arrestin
<p>Seven transmembrane spanning receptors (7TMRs), or G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), represent the largest and most ubiquitous of the several families of plasma membrane receptors and regulate virtually all known physiological processes in humans. The classical paradigm of signal transduction …

Signal Transduction Mechanisms Mediating the Regulation of Vascular G Protein-Coupled Receptors
… signaling mechanisms. Among the broad network of receptors and signaling molecules regulating blood vessel reactivity, members of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family are known to play a central role. GPCR activity represents a delicate, but coordinated balance between molecular mechanisms …
