Molecular pharmacology of VEGF-A isoforms: binding and signalling at VEGFR2 (2018)
Journal Article
Peach, C., Mignone, V., Arruda, M., Alcobia, D., Hill, S., Kilpatrick, L., & Woolard, J. (2018). Molecular pharmacology of VEGF-A isoforms: binding and signalling at VEGFR2. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 19(4), Article 1264. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms19041264

Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) is a key mediator of angiogenesis, signalling via the class IV tyrosine kinase receptor family of VEGF Receptors (VEGFRs). Although VEGF-A ligands bind to both VEGFR1 and VEGFR2, they primarily signal via... Read More about Molecular pharmacology of VEGF-A isoforms: binding and signalling at VEGFR2.

Real-time analysis of the binding of fluorescent VEGF165a to VEGFR2 in living cells: Effect of receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors and fate of internalized agonist-receptor complexes. Biochemical Pharmacology, 136, 62-75. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bcp.2017.04.006

© 2017 The Authors Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important mediator of angiogenesis. Here we have used a novel stoichiometric protein-labeling method to generate a fluorescent variant of VEGF (VEGF165a-TMR) labeled on a single cyste...

The use of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy to characterize the molecular mobility of fluorescently labelled G protein-coupled receptors (2016)
Journal Article
Kilpatrick, L. E., & Hill, S. J. (in press). The use of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy to characterize the molecular mobility of fluorescently labelled G protein-coupled receptors. Biochemical Society Transactions, 44(2), https://doi.org/10.1042/BST20150285

The membranes of living cells have been shown to be highly organized into distinct microdomains, which has spatial and temporal consequences for the interaction of membrane bound receptors and their signalling partners as complexes. Fluorescence corr... Read More about The use of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy to characterize the molecular mobility of fluorescently labelled G protein-coupled receptors.

A G protein-coupled receptor dimer imaging assay reveals selectively modified pharmacology of neuropeptide Y Y1/Y5 receptor heterodimers (2015)
Journal Article
Kilpatrick, L. E., Humphrys, L. J., & Holliday, N. D. (in press). A G protein-coupled receptor dimer imaging assay reveals selectively modified pharmacology of neuropeptide Y Y1/Y5 receptor heterodimers. Molecular Pharmacology, 87(4), https://doi.org/10.1124/mol.114.095356

The ability of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to form dimers, and particularly heterodimers, offers potential for targeted therapeutics with improved selectivity. However, studying dimer pharmacology is challenging, because of signaling cross-ta...

© The Author(s). In our previous work, using a fluorescent adenosine-A3 receptor (A3AR) agonist and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), we demonstrated highaffinity labeling of the active receptor (R∗) conformation. In the current study, we...

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, combined with bimolecular fluorescence complementation, reveals the effects of ?-arrestin complexes and endocytic targeting on the membrane mobility of neuropeptide Y receptors (2012)
Journal Article
Kilpatrick, L. E., Briddon, S. J., & Holliday, N. D. (2012). Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, combined with bimolecular fluorescence complementation, reveals the effects of ?-arrestin complexes and endocytic targeting on the membrane mobility of neuropeptide Y receptors. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 1823(6),

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and photon counting histogram (PCH) analysis are powerful ways to study mobility and stoichiometry of G protein coupled receptor complexes, within microdomains of single living cells. However, relating thes...
