The structure-based design of a mutant form of the thromboxane A(2) prostanoid receptor (TP) was instrumental in characterizing the structural determinants of the hetero-dimerization process of this G protein coupled receptor (GPCR). The results suggest that the hetero-dimeric complexes between the TPα and β isoforms are characterized by contacts between hydrophobic residues in helix 1 from both monomers. Functional characterization confirms that TPα-TPβ hetero-dimerization serves to regulate TPα function through agonist-induced internalization, with important implications in cardiovascular homeostasis. The integrated approach employed in this study can be adopted to gain structural and functional insights into the dimerization/oligomerization process of all GPCRs for which the structural model of the monomer can be achieved at reasonable atomic resolution. 相似文献

Summary The effects of i.p. injections of amphetamine and apomorphine were determined before and after unilateral ligation of the carotid artery in the gerbil. Significant increases in turning behavior were observed in the absence of neurohistological evidence of infarction. 相似文献

In class A GPCRs the E/DRY motif is critical for receptor activation and function. According to experimental and computational
data, R3.50 forms a double salt bridge with the adjacent E/D3.49 and E/D6.30 in helix 6, constraining the receptor in an inactive
state. The disruption of this network of interactions facilitates conformational transitions that generate a signal or constitutive
activity. Here we demonstrate that non-conservative substitution of either E129(3.49) or E240(6.30) of thromboxane prostanoid receptor (TP) resulted in mutants characterized by agonist-induced more efficient signaling properties,
regardless of the G protein coupling. Results of computational modeling suggested a more effective interaction between Gq and the agonist-bound forms of the TP mutants, compared to the wild type. Yet, none of the mutants examined revealed any
increase in basal activity, precluding their classification as constitutively active mutants. Here, we propose that these
alternative active conformations might be identified as superactive mutants or SAM. 相似文献

In mammals, equal dosage of gene products encoded by the X chromosome in male and female cells is achieved by X inactivation. Although X-chromosome inactivation represents the most extensive example known of long range cis gene regulation, the mechanism by which thousands of genes on only one of a pair of identical chromosomes are turned off is poorly understood. We have recently identified a human gene (XIST) exclusively expressed from the inactive X chromosome. Here we report the isolation and characterization of its murine homologue (Xist) which localizes to the mouse X inactivation centre region and is the first murine gene found to be expressed from the inactive X chromosome. Nucleotide sequence analysis indicates that Xist may be associated with a protein product. The similar map positions and expression patterns for Xist in mouse and man suggest that this gene may have a role in X inactivation. 相似文献

The hydrogen atom is one of the most important and influential model systems in modern physics. Attempts to understand its spectrum are inextricably linked to the early history and development of quantum mechanics. The hydrogen atom's stature lies in its simplicity and in the accuracy with which its spectrum can be measured and compared to theory. Today its spectrum remains a valuable tool for determining the values of fundamental constants and for challenging the limits of modern physics, including the validity of quantum electrodynamics and--by comparison with measurements on its antimatter counterpart, antihydrogen--the validity of CPT (charge conjugation, parity and time reversal) symmetry. Here we report spectroscopy of a pure antimatter atom, demonstrating resonant quantum transitions in antihydrogen. We have manipulated the internal spin state of antihydrogen atoms so as to induce magnetic resonance transitions between hyperfine levels of the positronic ground state. We used resonant microwave radiation to flip the spin of the positron in antihydrogen atoms that were magnetically trapped in the ALPHA apparatus. The spin flip causes trapped anti-atoms to be ejected from the trap. We look for evidence of resonant interaction by comparing the survival rate of trapped atoms irradiated with microwaves on-resonance to that of atoms subjected to microwaves that are off-resonance. In one variant of the experiment, we detect 23 atoms that survive in 110 trapping attempts with microwaves off-resonance (0.21 per attempt), and only two atoms that survive in 103 attempts with microwaves on-resonance (0.02 per attempt). We also describe the direct detection of the annihilation of antihydrogen atoms ejected by the microwaves. 相似文献
