Biased signaling due to oligomerization of the G protein-coupled platelet-activating factor receptor

Abstract: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are important drug targets that mediate various signaling pathways by activating G proteins and engaging β-arrestin proteins. Despite its importance for the development of therapeutics with fewer side effects, the underlying mechanism that controls the balance between these signaling modes of GPCRs remains largely unclear. Here, we show that assembly into dimers and oligomers can largely influence the signaling mode of the platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFR). Single-p… Show more

“…The type of density-dependent affinity enhancement identified here for Ndc80-CENP-T binding can facilitate biogenesis of structures that rely on strong site-specific bonds (38), as well as modulate the activity of more transient oligomers and clusters, such as involved in signaling activity (39, 40), and chromatin-associated hubs (41). Thus, emergent behaviors involving slow binding-site maturation and density-induced acceleration could assist biomolecular self-organization and may facilitate engineering of self-assembling nanoparticles for medical and technological applications.…”

“…Site-directed mutations in the plasmids were generated using the QuikChange mutagenesis protocol (Agilent Technologies). The probes (full length of EGFP) were fused to the CTD of GLP-1R and MOR, respectively, with AflII restriction site as a linker 84 . The plasmids encoding human βarr1, βarr2, GRK2, GRK3, GRK5, and GRK6 in pcDNA3.1 were tagged with Flag-TST (provided by ARPEGE platform, IGF).…”

“…The ability of PSC to quantify the number of molecules in a molecular complex can reveal important information, regarding not only the size of the complex but also the role played by oligomerization in biological function. Liu et al 23 used photobleaching step analysis to assess the importance of oligomerization of the platelet-activation factor receptor (PAFR), a GPCR involved in platelet aggregation and inflammatory responses, in the particular signaling pathway initiated by the receptor. The study reports the formation of PAFR dimers and oligomers in transfected cell lines.…”
