Gene Synthesis> | ... BAI2 snake plot (Fig. 2A) was constructed using Protter (Omasits et al., 2014). DNA Constructs – Human ADGRB2 wild-type and R1465W plasmids were synthesized in pcDNA3.1 vectors(Genscript, Piscataway, NJ). Sequences for BAI2ΔNT and BAI2ΔNT-RW (912-1585) ... | Get A Quote |
Mutations in G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that increase constitutive signaling activity can cause human disease. A de novo C-terminal mutation (R1465W) in the adhesion GPCR BAI2 (also known as ADGRB2) was identified in a patient suffering from progressive spastic paraparesis and other neurological symptoms. In vitro studies revealed that this mutation strongly increases the constitutive signaling activity of an N-terminally cleaved form of BAI2, which represents the activated form of the receptor. Further studies dissecting the mechanism(s) underling this effect revealed that wild-type BAI2 primarily couples to Gαz , with the R1465W mutation conferring increased coupling to Gαi . The R1465W mutation al... More
