Journal ArticleDOI

Conformational dynamics of Kir3.1/Kir3.2 channel activation via δ-opioid receptors.

TL;DR: The fact that BRET changes at the Gβγ-Kir3 interface are predictive of a ligand’s ability to induce channel currents points to these conformational biosensors as screening tools for identifying GPCR ligands that induce Kir3 channel activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Purinergic Receptor Transactivation by the β2-Adrenergic Receptor Increases Intracellular Ca2+ in Nonexcitable Cells.

TL;DR: A model whereby the β2AR stimulates a Gs-dependent release of ATP, which transactivates Gq-coupled P2Y receptors through an inside-out mechanism, leading to a GQ- and IP3-dependent Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores is supported.
Journal Article

Two kinases mediate agonist-dependent phosphorylation and desensitization of the beta 2-adrenergic receptor.

TL;DR: Phosphorylation of the receptor by both kinases appears to be required for the full desensitization effect seen with the high concentration of agonist, which includes both losses in sensitivity and in the maximal responsiveness of the adenylyl cyclase response upon subsequent challenge with the agonist.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemogenetics defines receptor-mediated functions of short chain free fatty acids.

TL;DR: It is determined that activation of FFA2 in differentiated adipocytes and colonic crypt enteroendocrine cells of mouse accounts fully for SCFA-regulated lipolysis and release of the incretin glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), respectively.
