  • Cartography of Rhodopsin-Like G Protein-Coupled Receptors
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Cartography of rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptors across vertebrate genomes Received: 16 May 2018 Maiju Rinne1, Zia-Ur-Rehman Tanoli1,2, Asifullah Khan2 & Henri Xhaard 1 Accepted: 17 September 2018 We conduct a cartography of rhodopsin-like non-olfactory G protein-coupled receptors in the Ensembl Published: xx xx xxxx database. The most recent genomic data (releases 90–92, 90 vertebrate genomes) are analyzed through the online interface and receptors mapped on phylogenetic guide trees that were constructed based on a set of ~14.000 amino acid sequences. This snapshot of genomic data suggest vertebrate genomes to harbour 142 clades of GPCRs without human orthologues. Among those, 69 have not to our knowledge been mentioned or studied previously in the literature, of which 28 are distant from existing receptors and likely new orphans. These newly identifed receptors are candidates for more focused evolutionary studies such as chromosomal mapping as well for in-depth pharmacological characterization. Interestingly, we also show that 37 of the 72 human orphan (or recently deorphanized) receptors included in this study cluster into nineteen closely related groups, which implies that there are less ligands to be identifed than previously anticipated. Altogether, this work has signifcant implications when discussing nomenclature issues for GPCRs. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are signalling proteins activated by for example neurotransmitters and neuromodulators and as such are involved in many physiological processes. Teir location as a cellular gateway makes them key targets for drug discovery and chemical biology1–3, and 30–50% of drugs on the market have been reported to target GPCRs directly or indirectly4.

  • A Promising Drug Target for Breast Cancer Progression
    Masi et al. Oncogenesis (2020) 9:105 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41389-020-00291-x Oncogenesis ARTICLE Open Access OXER1 and RACK1-associated pathway: apromisingdrugtargetforbreastcancer progression Mirco Masi1,2, Enrico Garattini3, Marco Bolis3,4,5, Daniele Di Marino6,LuisaMaraccani 1, Elena Morelli1, Ambra A. Grolla7, Francesca Fagiani1,2, Emanuela Corsini8, Cristina Travelli1, Stefano Govoni1, Marco Racchi1 and Erica Buoso 1 Abstract Recent data indicate that receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) is a putative prognostic marker and drug target in breast cancer (BC). High RACK1 expression is negatively associated with overall survival, as it seems to promote BC progression. In tumors, RACK1 expression is controlled by a complex balance between glucocorticoids and androgens. Given the fact that androgens and androgenic derivatives can inhibit BC cell proliferation and migration, the role of androgen signaling in regulating RACK1 transcription in mammary tumors is of pivotal interest. Here, we provide evidence that nandrolone (19-nortosterone) inhibits BC cell proliferation and migration by antagonizing the PI3K/Akt/ NF-κB signaling pathway, which eventually results in RACK1 downregulation. We also show that nandrolone impairs the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway and decreases RACK1 expression via binding to the membrane-bound receptor, oxoeicosanoid receptor 1 (OXER1). High levels of OXER1 are observed in several BC cell lines and correlate with RACK1 expression and poor prognosis. Our data provide evidence on the role played by the OXER1-dependent intracellular pathway in BC progression and shed light on the mechanisms underlying membrane-dependent androgen effects on 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; RACK1 regulation. Besides the mechanistic relevance, the results of the study are of interest from a translational prospective.

They act autocrinically and paracrinically by binding to their ligand-specific G-protein coupled receptors *3&5V 6LQFH¶V a number of lipid GPCRs have been cloned in humans, with a few more identified in other vertebrates. However, the conservation of these receptors has been poorly investigated in other eukaryotes. Herein we performed a phylogenetic analysis by collecting their orthologs in 13 eukaryotes with complete genomes. The analysis shows that orthologs for prostaglandin receptors are likely to be conserved in the 13 eukaryotes. In contrast, those for lysophospholipid and cannabinoid receptors appear to be conserved in only vertebrates and chordates. Receptors for leukotrienes and other bioactive lipids are limited to vertebrates.
