Journal ArticleDOI

Role of cholesterol in the function and organization of G-protein coupled receptors.

TL;DR: A novel mechanism by which membrane cholesterol could affect structure and function of GPCRs is proposed and it is envisaged that there could be specific/nonannular cholesterol binding site(s) in the serotonin(1A) receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Real-time Visualization of Dynamin-catalyzed Membrane Fission and Vesicle Release

TL;DR: Self-limited assemblies of dynamin generated in the constant presence of GTP catalyze membrane fission, arguing against models in which fission is mediated by concerted and global GTP-driven conformational changes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cholesterol modulates ligand binding and G-protein coupling to serotonin1A receptors from bovine hippocampus

TL;DR: Evidence is provided, for the first time, that cholesterol is necessary for ligand binding and G-protein coupling of this important neurotransmitter receptor and could have significant implications in understanding the influence of the membrane lipid environment on the activity and signal transduction of other G- protein-coupled transmembrane receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Serotonin1A Receptor: A Representative Member of the Serotonin Receptor Family

TL;DR: The ligand binding activity and G-protein coupling of the receptor is modulated by membrane cholesterol thereby indicating the requirement of cholesterol in maintaining the receptor organization and function, raises important questions on the role of membrane lipids and domains in the function of this receptor.
