Congratulations to Keya for a first-authored paper published in Biochemistry on “Mechanisms of Peptide Agonist Dissociation and Deactivation of Adhesion G-Protein-Coupled Receptors“! Abstract Adhesion G protein–coupled receptors (ADGRs) belong to Class B2 of GPCRs and are involved in a wide array of important physiological processes. ADGRs contain a GPCR autoproteolysis-inducing...

Congratulations to Jinan and Victor in our lab for a collaborative paper published in Nature Communications on Jan 28, 2025 (Chinese New Year day!): “Structure and function of a near fully-activated intermediate GPCR-Gαβγ complex“. Thanks to Prof. Libin Ye’s lab at University of South Florida and Prof. Yifan Cheng’s lab...
