Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of specificity of agonist and antagonist radioligand binding to β adrenergic receptors
Robert J. Lefkowitz,Melissa Hamp +1 more
TL;DR: A high affinity radiolabelled β adrenergic agonist, 3H-hydroxybenzylisoprenaline, which, when used in conjunction with high concentrations of catechol and ascorbic acid which block non-receptor binding sites, seems to be a useful ligand for studying the β-adrenergic receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Allosteric activation of proto-oncogene kinase Src by GPCR-beta-arrestin complexes.
Natalia Pakharukova,Ali Masoudi,Biswaranjan Pani,Dean P. Staus,Robert J. Lefkowitz,Robert J. Lefkowitz +5 more
TL;DR: The direct allosteric activation of proto-oncogene kinase Src by GPCR–βarr complexes in vitro is demonstrated and the conformational basis of the activation is established.
Journal ArticleDOI
Signaling at the endosome: cryo-EM structure of a GPCR-G protein-beta-arrestin megacomplex.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have solved the structure of a GPCR-G protein-βarr megacomplex by cryo-electron microscopy, which illustrates the independent and simultaneous coupling of G protein to the receptor intracellular core, and binding of a βarr to a phosphorylated receptor C-terminal tail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overexpression of pp60c-src is associated with altered regulation of adenylyl cyclase.
Deirdre K. Luttrell,William P. Hausdorff,Julie E. Moyers,Tona M. Gilmer,Sarah J. Parsons,Marc G. Caron,Robert J. Lefkowitz +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that overexpression of wild type c-src may affect two distinct steps in the regulation of AC exerting a positive effect at the level of Gs activation and a negative effect on AC itself.
