Journal ArticleDOI

Effector coupling mechanisms of the cloned 5-HT1A receptor.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that like the M2 and M3 muscarinic cholinergic receptors, the 5-HT1A receptor can couple to multiple transduction pathways with varying efficiencies via pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ca2+-dependent Interaction of Recoverin with Rhodopsin Kinase *

TL;DR: The specific and Ca-dependent Rv/RK interaction is necessary for the inhibitory effect of Rv on rhodopsin phosphorylation and may play an important role in photoreceptor light adaptation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple second messenger pathways of alpha-adrenergic receptor subtypes expressed in eukaryotic cells.

TL;DR: Results show that each of the alpha-adrenergic receptor subtypes can couple to multiple signal transduction pathways and suggest several generalities about the effector coupling mechanisms of G-protein-coupled receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

A region of adenylyl cyclase 2 critical for regulation by G protein beta gamma subunits

TL;DR: The region defined by residues 956 to 982 of adenylyl cyclase 2 may contain determinants important for receiving signals from G beta gamma, which is conserved in regions of potassium channels and beta-adrenergic receptor kinases that participate in G beta Gamma interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential mechanisms of morphine antinociceptive tolerance revealed in (beta)arrestin-2 knock-out mice.

TL;DR: Although βarr2 appears to be the most prominent and proximal determinant of μOR desensitization and morphine tolerance, in the absence of this mechanism, the contributions of a PKC-dependent regulatory system become readily apparent.
