Structural basis of G protein–Coupled receptor CMKLR1 activation and signaling induced by a chemerin-derived agonist

Chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1) responds to the adipokine chemerin and is highly expressed in innate immune cells. A high-resolution structure of CMKLR1 in complex with G protein and a peptide agonist, together with mutagenesis and computational simulations studies, reveals mechanisms of peptide agonist recognition, receptor activation, and G protein-coupling.

Researchers visualize communication of G protein-coupled receptors, paving way for new drug discovery

A group of researchers led by Prof. Arun K. Shukla in the Department of Biological Sciences and Bioengineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT-K) has unraveled a previously unknown mechanism that regulates an important class of drug targets known as G protein-coupled receptors.

Development of biosensor for real-time detection of the G-protein molecular switch

A research team led by Professor Byung-Chang Suh has investigated the real-time effect of the G-protein cycle, which acts as a switch in the body, on the structural changes in G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Their study is published in the journal Nature Communications.
