Title: | Phylogenetic analysis of the sequences of gastrin-releasing peptide and its receptors: biological implications. | Austin Authors: | Baldwin, Graham S;Patel, Oneel;Shulkes, Arthur | Affiliation: | University of Melbourne, Department of Surgery, Austin Health, Studley Rd., Heidelberg, Victoria 3084, Australia | Issue Date: | 27-Feb-2007 | Publication information: | Regulatory Peptides 2007; 143(1-3): 1-14 | Abstract: | The many biological activities of the hormone gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP), including stimulation of acid secretion and of tumour growth, are mediated by the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRP-R). Here sequence comparisons are utilised to investigate the likely bioactive regions of the 125 amino acid GRP precursor and of GRP-R. Comparison of the sequences of the GRP precursor from 21 species revealed homology not only in the GRP region between amino acids 1 and 30, but also in C-terminal regions from amino acids 43 to 97. This observation is consistent with recent reports that peptides derived from the C-terminal region are biologically active. Comparison of the GRP-R sequence with the related receptors NMB-R and BRS-3 revealed that the family could be distinguished from other G-protein coupled receptors by the presence of the motif GVSVFTLTALS at the cytoplasmic end of transmembrane helix 3. Comparison of the sequences of the GRP-R from 21 species revealed that the most highly conserved regions occurred in transmembrane helices 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7, and in the third intracellular loop. These results will be important in guiding future structure-function studies of the GRP precursor and of GRP receptors. | Gov't Doc #: | 17395282 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/10344 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.regpep.2007.02.007 | Journal: | Regulatory peptides | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17395282 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Amino Acid Sequence Animals Gastrin-Releasing Peptide.genetics.metabolism Humans Molecular Sequence Data Phylogeny Protein Binding Receptors, Bombesin.genetics.metabolism |
