Gao P, Watkins D, Malbon C
Am J Physiol . 1995 Jun; 268(6 Pt 1):C1460-6. PMID: 7611366
In F9 teratocarcinoma stem cells, retinoic acid induces a primitive endoderm-like phenotype and a sharp decline in G alpha i-2, a response mimicked by expression of RNA antisense to G...

Watkins D, Moxham C, Morris A, Malbon C
Biochem J . 1994 May; 299 ( Pt 3):593-6. PMID: 8192647
G-proteins mediate transmembrane signalling from a populous group of cell-surface receptors to a smaller group of effectors that includes adenylate cyclase, various ion channels and phospholipase C. Stem cells (F9...

Watkins D, Johnson G, Malbon C
Science . 1992 Nov; 258(5086):1373-5. PMID: 1455234
The amount of the heterotrimeric G protein subunit G alpha i2 decreases after the induction of F9 teratocarcinoma cells to become primitive endoderm in the presence of retinoic acid (RA)....

Wang H, Watkins D, Malbon C
Nature . 1992 Jul; 358(6384):334-7. PMID: 1379345
Fully-differentiated mouse 3T3-L1 fibroblasts accumulate large amounts of lipid at 7-10 days after induction by insulin or by dexamethasone and a methyl xanthine. G proteins mediate transmembrane signalling from a...

Watkins D, Malbon C
J Biol Chem . 1990 Oct; 265(29):17771-9. PMID: 2170395
F9 embryonal mouse teratocarcinoma cells were differentiated to a primitive endoderm-like phenotype by retinoic acid and to a parietal endoderm-like phenotype by retinoic acid in combination with dibutyryl cyclic AMP....

Hadcock J, Ros M, Watkins D, Malbon C
J Biol Chem . 1990 Sep; 265(25):14784-90. PMID: 2118518
The hormone-sensitive adenylyl cyclase system is under dual control, receiving both stimulatory and inhibitory inputs. Guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G-proteins) transduce signals from cell surface receptors to effectors such as...

Rapiejko P, Watkins D, Ros M, Malbon C
Biochim Biophys Acta . 1990 May; 1052(2):348-50. PMID: 2110484
The steady-state levels of mRNAs for the G-proteins Gi alpha 2, Go alpha, and the G beta-subunits common to each were established in rat adipose, heart and liver. Uniformly-radiolabeled, single-stranded...

J Biol Chem . 1990 Apr; 265(10):5370-5. PMID: 1690708
Regulation of two highly homologous GTP-binding regulatory protein- (G-protein) linked receptors, beta 1- and beta 2-adrenergic receptors, was probed at the level of mRNA in differentiating 3T3-L1 cells. Expression of...
