Probing expression of E-selectin using CRISPR-Cas9-mediated tagging with HiBiT in human endothelial cells (2023)
Journal Article

E-selectin is expressed on endothelial cells in response to inflammatory cytokines and mediates leukocyte rolling and extravasation. However, studies have been hampered by lack of experimental approaches to monitor expression in real time in living c...

Plasma membrane preassociation drives β-arrestin coupling to receptors and activation (2023)
Journal Article

β-arrestin plays a key role in G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling and desensitization. Despite recent structural advances, the mechanisms that govern receptor-β-arrestin interactions at the plasma membrane of living cells remain elusive. Her...

Small-Molecule Fluorescent Ligands for the CXCR4 Chemokine Receptor (2023)
Journal Article

The C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4, or CXCR4, is a chemokine receptor found to promote cancer progression and metastasis of various cancer cell types. To investigate the pharmacology of this receptor, and to further elucidate its role in cancer, nov... Read More about Small-Molecule Fluorescent Ligands for the CXCR4 Chemokine Receptor.

Probing the binding of interleukin-23 to individual receptor components and the IL-23 heteromeric receptor complex in living cells using NanoBRET (2021)
Journal Article

Interleukin-23 (IL-23) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in the host defence against pathogens, but also implicated in the development of several autoimmune disorders. The IL- 23 receptor has become a key target for drug discovery but the exact...

Subtype selective fluorescent ligands based on ICI 118,551 to study the human β2‐adrenoceptor in CRISPR/Cas9 genome‐edited HEK293T cells at low expression levels (2021)
Journal Article

Fluorescent ligand technologies have proved to be powerful tools to improve our understanding of ligand-receptor interactions. Here we have characterized a small focused library of nine fluorescent ligands based on the highly selective β2-adrenocepto...

The use of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy to monitor cell surface ?2?adrenoceptors at low expression levels in human embryonic stem cell?derived cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts (2021)
Journal Article

The importance of cell phenotype in determining the molecular mechanisms underlying ?2- adrenoceptor (?2AR) function has been noted previously when comparing responses in primary cells and recombinant model cell lines. Here, we have generated haploty...

Detection of genome-edited and endogenously expressed G protein-coupled receptors (2021)
Journal Article

© 2021 The Authors. The FEBS Journal published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of Federation of European Biochemical Societies. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of membrane receptors and major targets for FDA-approved d...

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated generation and analysis of N terminus polymorphic models of ?2AR in isogenic hPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 During normal- and patho-physiological situations, the behavior of the beta2-adrenoreceptor (β2AR) is influenced by polymorphic variants. The functional impact of such polymorphisms has been suggested from data derived from genetic association...

The tetraspanin Tspan15 is an essential subunit of an ADAM10 scissor complex (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Koo et al. A disintegrin and metalloprotease 10 (ADAM10) is a transmembrane protein essential for embryonic development, and its dysregulation underlies disorders such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and inflammation. ADAM10 is a "molecular sc... Read More about The tetraspanin Tspan15 is an essential subunit of an ADAM10 scissor complex.

Characterisation of endogenous A2A and A2B receptor-mediated cyclic AMP responses in HEK 293 cells using the GloSensor™ biosensor: evidence for an allosteric mechanism of action for the A2B-selective antagonist PSB 603 (2017)
Journal Article

Endogenous adenosine A2B receptors (A2BAR) mediate cAMP accumulation in HEK 293 cells. Here we have used a biosensor to investigate the mechanism of action of the A2BAR antagonist PSB 603 in HEK 293 cells. The A2A agonist CGS 21680 elicited a small r...

Application of BRET to monitor ligand binding to GPCRs (2015)
Journal Article

Bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) is a well-established method for investigating protein-protein interactions. Here we present a BRET approach to monitor ligand binding to G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) on the surface of living ce... Read More about Application of BRET to monitor ligand binding to GPCRs.
