The frizzled gene family of putative Wnt receptors encodes proteins that have a seven-transmembrane-spanning motif characteristic of G protein-linked receptors, though no loss-of-function studies have demonstrated a requirement for G proteins for Frizzled signaling. We engineered a Frizzled-2 chimera responsive to beta-adrenergic agonist by using the ligand-binding domains of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor. The expectation was that the chimera would be sensitive both to drug-mediated…

Gene profiling of Frizzled-1 and Frizzled-2 signaling: expression of G-protein-coupled receptor chimeras in mouse F9 teratocarcinoma embryonal cells.

The utility of beta2-adrenergic receptor-Frizzled chimeras is demonstrated to provide the tools with which to activate and to probe Frizzled-specific downstream signaling to gene activation.

The Frizzled-1/β2-adrenergic receptor chimera: pharmacological properties of a unique G protein-linked receptor

These data demonstrate that the Frizzled-1 chimera displays cardinal features of a G protein-coupled receptor, including agonist-induced sequestration, but appears to do so largely even in the presence of dominant-negative β-arrestins.

The signal linkage map from Wnt to changes in intracellular cyclic GMP and development is the focus of this review.

Signaling of Human Frizzled Receptors to the Mating Pathway in Yeast

It is shown here that human Frizzled receptors (Fz1 and Fz2) can be properly targeted to the yeast plasma membrane, and that they stimulate the yeast mating pathway in the absence of added Wnt ligands, as evidenced by cell cycle arrest in G1 and reporter gene expression dependent on the mating pathway-activated FUS1 gene.

Wnt-frizzled signaling to G-protein-coupled effectors

Evidence from a variety of developmental systems demonstrates Wnt-Frizzled (Fz) signaling via pathways other than the Wnt/β-catenin pathway linked to transcription controlled by Lef/Tcf regulating intracellular [Ca++] and cyclic GMP levels.

Recognition of the GPCR character of Frizzled enables a more broad understanding of these receptors and of their mechanisms of downstream signaling, including cell fate, adhesion, polarity, migration, and proliferation.

Signaling of Rat Frizzled-2 Through Phosphodiesterase and Cyclic GMP

The Frizzled-2 receptor from rat binds Wnt proteins and can signal by activating calcium release from intracellular stores and appears to couple to PDEs and calcium transients through G proteins.

Elucidation of signaling properties of vasopressin receptor-related receptor 1 by using the chimeric receptor approach.

The results suggest that VRR1 has dual signaling properties in coupling to both G(q) and G(S) pathways, and validated the utility of the chimeric receptor approach for signaling pathway identification.

Interaction of Wnt and a Frizzled homologue triggers G-protein-linked phosphatidylinositol signalling

It is shown that the rat protein Frizzled-2 causes an increase in the release of intracellular calcium which is enhanced by Xwnt-5a, a member of the Wnt family, and this indicates that some Wnt proteins work through specific FriZZled homologues to stimulate the phosphatidylinositol signalling pathway via heterotrimeric G-protein subunits.

Activities of the Wnt-1 class of secreted signaling factors are antagonized by the Wnt-5A class and by a dominant negative cadherin in early Xenopus development

Members of the Xwnt-5A class antagonized the ability of ectopic Wnt-1 class to induce goosecoid expression and a secondary axis and suggest that the Wnt -5A functional class of signaling factors can interact with the W NT class in an antagonistic manner.

Differentiation of F9 Teratocarcinoma Stem Cells to Primitive Endoderm Is Regulated by the Giα2/Gsα Axis via Phospholipase C and Not Adenylylcyclase*

The N-terminal region of Gs α appears to act as a dominant switch for the Gsα- (activation) versus Giα2- (suppression) mediated control of phospholipase C and progression to primitive endoderm.

Suppression of Gi alpha 2 enhances phospholipase C signalling.

It is demonstrated for the first time that a single G-protein, G12, can regulate two distinct signalling pathways, i.e. adenylate cyclase and phospholipase C.

Chimeric alpha 2-,beta 2-adrenergic receptors: delineation of domains involved in effector coupling and ligand binding specificity.

The alpha 2 and beta 2 adrenergic receptors, both of which are activated by epinephrine, but which can be differentiated by selective drugs, have opposite effects on the adenylyl cyclase system.

LEF-1/TCF proteins mediate wnt-inducible transcription from the Xenopus nodal-related 3 promoter.

It is shown that a small region of the Xnr3 promoter is sufficient to confer wnt-inducible transcription and provide further evidence for a role of LEF-1/TCF proteins in wnt signaling and identify the Spemann organizer-specific gene XNR3 as a direct target of these transcription factors in vertebrates.

The ability of the thrombin receptor C2 loop to function in the context of the D2R and β2AR strongly suggests that the transmembrane switching and G protein activation strategies used by the thROMbin receptor must be very similar to those used byThe D1R andβ2AR despite the thRombin receptor's strikingly different liganding mechanism.
