Journal ArticleDOI
GPCR6A Is a Molecular Target for the Natural Products Gallate and EGCG in Green Tea.
Min Pi,Karan Kapoor,Ruisong Ye,Jeremy C. Smith,Jeremy C. Smith,Jerome Baudry,Jerome Baudry,Leigh Darryl Quarles +7 more
TL;DR: GA and EGCG have offsetting agonist and antagonist effects on GPRC6A that may account for the variable metabolic effect of green tea consumption.

Journal ArticleDOI
Computationally identified novel agonists for GPRC6A.
Min Pi,Karan Kapoor,Ruisong Ye,Dong Jin Hwang,Duane D. Miller,Jeremy C. Smith,Jeremy C. Smith,Jerome Baudry,Jerome Baudry,L. Darryl Quarles +9 more
TL;DR: Two studies show that GPRC6A is a “druggable” target for developing chemical probes to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus and one tri-phenyl lead compound demonstrated the greatest potency in stimulating insulin secretion in β-cells and lowering serum glucose in wild-type mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
A ribosomal protein gene cluster is encoded in the mitochondrial DNA of Dictyostelium discoideum: UGA termination codons and similarity of gene order to Acanthamoeba castellanii
TL;DR: A region of about 14.5 kb downstream from the ribosomal protein L11 gene (rpl11) in the mitochondrial DNA of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum was sequenced and found UGA, which has not hitherto been found in genes encoded in D. discoidum mitochondrial DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parathyroid-specific interaction of the calcium-sensing receptor and Gαq
TL;DR: The feasibility of selectively targeting the parathyroid gland to investigate signaling mechanisms downstream of the calcium receptor is demonstrated.
