The carboxyl tail of the human mu opioid receptor was shown to bind the carboxyl terminal region of human filamin A, a protein known to couple membrane proteins to actin. Results from yeast… (More)
BACKGROUND
In this study, we investigated the mechanism(s) by which delta opioids induce their potent activation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (ERKs) in different cell lines… (More)
The cDNA coding for the bovine mu-opioid receptor has been cloned and sequenced. Conserved sequences from murine delta-receptor cDNA were used as primers in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify… (More)
We have previously reported that the protein filamin A (FLA) binds to the carboxyl tail of the mu opioid receptor (MOPr). Using human melanoma cells, which do not express filamin A, we showed that… (More)
We investigated the effects of morphine and other agonists on the human mu opioid receptor (MOP) expressed in M2 melanoma cells, lacking the actin cytoskeleton protein filamin A and in A7, a subclone… (More)
A yeast two-hybrid screen, using the carboxyl tail of the human mu opioid receptor as bait and a human brain cDNA library as target, indicated that the carboxyl terminal portion of hlj1, a member of… (More)
Our laboratory embarked on research to discover proteins the interaction of which with the mu opioid receptor (MOPr) is required for its function and regulation. We performed yeast two-hybrid… (More)
We have investigated the role of cysteine residues in a highly purified μ opioid receptor protein (μORP) by examining the effect of -SH reagents on the binding of opioid ligands. Treatment of μORP,… (More)
