FRET

An interaction is inferred when close proximity of interaction partners is detected by fluorescence resonance energy transfer between pairs of fluorophore-labeled molecules, such as occurs between CFP (donor) and YFP (acceptor) fusion proteins.

Evidence for association of GABA(B) receptors with Kir3 channels and regulators of G protein signalling (RGS4) proteins.

Fowler CE, Aryal P, Suen KF, Slesinger PA

Many neurotransmitters and hormones signal by stimulating G protein-coupled neurotransmitter receptors (GPCRs), which activate G proteins and their downstream effectors. Whether these signalling proteins diffuse freely within the plasma membrane is not well understood. Recent studies have suggested that direct protein-protein interactions exist between GPCRs, G proteins and G protein-gated inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK or Kir3) channels. Here, we used ...
