TrkA is a tyrosine kinase receptor required for development and survival of the peripheral nervous system. In the adult, TrkA and its ligand NGF are peripheral pain mediators, particularly in inflammatory pain states. However, how TrkA regulates the function of nociceptive neurons and whether its activity levels may lead to sensory abnormalities is still unclear. Here we report the characterization of a 3 aa (KFG) domain that negatively regulates TrkA level and function in response to NGF. Deletion of this domain in mouse causes a reduction of TrkA ubiquitination leading to an increase in TrkA protein levels and activity. The number of dorsal root ganglia neurons is not affected by the mutation. However, mutant mice have enhanced thermal sensitivity and inflammatory pain. Together, these data suggest that ubiquitination is a mechanism used in nociceptive neurons to regulate TrkA level and function. Our results may enhance our understanding of how ubiquitination affects TrkA activation following noxious thermal stimulation and inflammatory pain.

Specific Functions of Melanocortin 3 Receptor (MC3R) Yanık, Tülin; Durhan, Seyda Tugce (2023-02-27) Melanocortin 3 receptor (MC3R) is a G-protein coupled receptor which has been defined mostly as a regulator of the appetite/hunger balance mechanisms to date. In addition to its function regarding the weight gain and appetite control mechanisms of MC3R, recent studies have shown that MC3R controls growth, puberty, and circadian rhythms as well. Despite the drastic effects of MC3R deficiency in humans and other mammals, its cellular mechanisms are still under investigation. In this review paper, we aimed to ...
Interactions between G-protein Coupled Receptors and Ligand Gated Ion Channels (GPCR-LGIC COUPLING) Son, Çağdaş Devrim(2014-9-30) Dopamine receptors are members of G-protein coupled receptor superfamily. These receptors are the key point of dopaminergic system, which controls the regulation of memory, attention, food intake, endocrine regulation, psychomotor activity and positive reinforcement. To regulate so many critically important neurological events, dopamine receptors have complex interactions with other receptors and ion channels. In this study, a trimeric complex comprising D2 receptor -which is a subtype of dopamine receptors...
SRC family kinase inhibitors antagonize the toxicity of multiple serotypes of botulinum neurotoxin in human embryonic stem cell-derived motor neurons. Kiriş, Erkan; Nuss, JE; Wanner, LM; Peyser, BD; Du, HT; Gomba, GY; Kota, KP; Panchal, RG; Gussio, R; Kane, CD; Tessarollo, L; Bavari, S (2015-05-01) Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs), the causative agents of botulism, are potent inhibitors of neurotransmitter release from motor neurons. There are currently no drugs to treat BoNT intoxication after the onset of the disease symptoms. In this study, we explored how modulation of key host pathways affects the process of BoNT intoxication in human motor neurons, focusing on Src family kinase (SFK) signaling. Motor neurons derived from human embryonic stem (hES) cells were treated with a panel of SFK inhibitors a...
INVESTIGATION OF PHYSICAL INTERACTION BETWEEN Gαi AND Gαs PROTEINS VIA FRET IN LIVE CELLS Balkan, Seyda Tuğçe; Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Küçük Baloğlu, Fatma; Department of Biochemistry (2021-8-11) GPCR’s are seven-transmembrane receptors that transmit external signals to the intracellular environment via secondary messenger systems through heterotrimeric G proteins. Heterotrimeric G proteins consist of α and β-γ subunits. Until recent years, scientists thought that GPCR signal transduction occurs between one GPCR and one heterotrimeric G protein; however, recently, it has been shown that GPCR’s can make oligomers. Oligomerization of GPCR allows cells to tune the intensity of the signal and respond ap...
GPCR-Gα protein precoupling: Interaction between Ste2p, a yeast GPCR, and Gpa1p, its Gα protein, is formed before ligand binding via the Ste2p C-terminal domain and the Gpa1p N-terminal domain Cevheroğlu, Orkun; Becker, Jeffrey M.; Son, Çağdaş Devrim (Elsevier BV, 2017-12) G protein coupled receptors bind ligands that initiate intracellular signaling cascades via heterotrimeric G proteins. In this study, involvement of the N-terminal residues of yeast G-alpha (Gpa1p) with the C-terminal residues of a full-length or C-terminally truncated Ste2p were investigated using bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET), a non-radiative energy transfer phenomenon where protein-protein interactions can be quantified between a donor bioluminescent molecule and a suitable acceptor fl...
