We are investing $13M toward a new research collaboration with scientists @DukeMedSchool, @ColumbiaMed & @Stanford to expand the collective understanding of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), which are vital proteins that impact human health and disease. https://t.co/OMzo3pGgJu
The schedule for the GRS in Molecular Pharmacology is live! https://t.co/tLcUiur1Z5 Please check it out - @BenderSci and I are very excited. Also, if you would like to contribute financially to this event, please use the following link: https://t.co/I3ksZ1Zcbf
Attention GPCR researchers! This year the GRS/GRC in Molecular Pharmacology will be held from June 10th-16th at Les Diablerets Conference Center in Switzerland. @BenderSci and I are Co-chairs for the Gordon Research Seminar that is dedicated to early-career scientists!
Some of the work from my PhD is now available! We searched for arrestin2/3 binding motifs in the CB1 c-terminus and found: 1. The pxxp motif isn’t critical for CB1. 2. Both arrestin subtypes require the same sites. 3. There are two functionally distinct phosphorylation clusters.
Very nice exploration of the #CB1 phosphorylation sites for #arrestin interaction
Authors investigated how different serine/threonine residues within the #CB1 C-terminus affect arrestin2/3 translocation in response to MDMB-FUBINACA

Our paper “GPCR-mediated β-arrestin activation deconvoluted with single-molecule precision” is out today! We use single-molecule FRET imaging and other biophysical approaches to explore the structural dynamics of β-arrestin1 activation upon binding GPCRs. (1/6)
Putative SCs MEPIRAPIM, 5F-BEPIRAPIM (NNL-2), and Their Analogues Are T-Type Calcium Channel (CaV3) Inhibitors https://t.co/hTaf0NQVzz
Cool work reporting more (non)-SCRA as modulators of T-type Ca channels ... plenty of potential in a number of different disease states 1/4
1st annual #ECIGPCR conference so far so good - interesting work being presented. Thanks @NicoleAPerry1 and committee for organising, definitely worth getting up at 1am for!
If anyone wants to know about CB1 motifs for Arrestin binding come see poster 85.
Happy to see our review on BRET-based biosensors monitoring GPCR activation and pathway selectivity in Current Opinion in Structural Biology alongside many other interesting papers.
