    C-terminal threonines and serines play distinct roles in the desensitization of rhodopsin, a G protein-coupled receptor

    Anthony W Azevedo, Thuy Doan ... Fred Rieke
    Serine and threonine phosphorylation sites work in concert to provide rapid and reproducible desensitization of the G-protein coupled receptor rhodopsin.

    Disentangling bias between Gq, GRK2, and arrestin3 recruitment to the M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor

    Anja Flöser, Katharina Becker ... Moritz Bünemann
    Ligand-specific-induced conformations of M3 muscarinic receptors reveal similar requirements for G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 and Gq protein binding, whereas arrestin3 binding is mediated by distinct receptor conformations.

    Arabidopsis heterotrimeric G proteins regulate immunity by directly coupling to the FLS2 receptor

    Xiangxiu Liang, Pingtao Ding ... Jian-Min Zhou
    Heterotrimeric G proteins are coupled to and regulate plant receptor signaling, which allows optimum immune activation and enhances the production of reactive oxygen species.

    β-blockers augment L-type Ca2+ channel activity by targeting spatially restricted β2AR signaling in neurons

    Ao Shen, Dana Chen ... Yang K Xiang
    FRET biosensor-based measurement of cAMP signaling and single-channel recording reveal that β-blockers trigger local activation of adrenergic receptors and calcium channels in primary neurons.

    Ciliary and extraciliary Gpr161 pools repress hedgehog signaling in a tissue-specific manner

    Sun-Hee Hwang, Bandarigoda N Somatilaka ... Saikat Mukhopadhyay
    Signaling specifically in cilia by a cAMP generating G-protein-coupled receptor directs tissue-specific morphogenesis.

    Neuromodulation of excitatory synaptogenesis in striatal development

    Yevgenia Kozorovitskiy, Rui Peixoto ... Bernardo L Sabatini
    Protein kinase A regulates the rapid, activity-dependent genesis of excitatory synapses during striatal development.

    G protein βγ subunits inhibit TRPM3 ion channels in sensory neurons

    Talisia Quallo, Omar Alkhatib ... Stuart Bevan
    TRPM3 inhibition is identified as a novel mechanism for G-protein βγ subunit signalling.

    Anti-nociceptive action of peripheral mu-opioid receptors by G-beta-gamma protein-mediated inhibition of TRPM3 channels

    Sandeep Dembla, Marc Behrendt ... Johannes Oberwinkler
    Pro-nociceptive and pro-inflammatory TRPM3 (transient receptor potential melastatin 3) channels, expressed in somatosensory neurons, are inhibited by activation of Gαi-coupled receptors, such as µ-opioid receptors, in vitro and in vivo.
    1. Cancer Biology

    Use of signals of positive and negative selection to distinguish cancer genes and passenger genes

    László Bányai, Maria Trexler ... László Patthy
    In contrast with earlier conclusions, negative selection has a major role in cancer evolution.

    Phosphorylation of β-arrestin2 at Thr383 by MEK underlies β-arrestin-dependent activation of Erk1/2 by GPCRs

    Elisabeth Cassier, Nathalie Gallay ... Franck Vandermoere
    Phosphoproteomics identifies β-arrestin 2 phosphorylation at Thr383 by MEK as a key step of GPCR-induced Erk½ activation, thus providing new insight into the molecular mechanism underlying β-arrestin-dependent GPCR-operated signaling.
