Naider F, Becker J
Molecules . 2020 Sep; 25(18). PMID: 32961885
Work from our laboratories over the last 35 years that has focused on Ste2p, a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), and its tridecapeptide ligand α-factor is reviewed. Our work utilized the...

Hauser M, Abraham P, Barcelona L, Becker J
G3 (Bethesda) . 2019 Jun; 9(8):2549-2560. PMID: 31213515
We determined the effect on gene transcription of laser-mediated, long-wavelength UV-irradiation of by RNAseq analysis at times T15, T30, and T60 min after recovery in growth medium. Laser-irradiated cells were...

Diaz-Rodriguez V, Hsu E, Ganusova E, Werst E, Becker J, Hrycyna C, et al.
Bioconjug Chem . 2017 Dec; 29(2):316-323. PMID: 29188996
Protein prenylation is a post-translational modification that involves the addition of one or two isoprenoid groups to the C-terminus of selected proteins using either farnesyl diphosphate or geranylgeranyl diphosphate. Three...

Hauser M, Cai H, Naider F, Becker J
Bio Protoc . 2017 Nov; 6(22). PMID: 29104892
We describe an assay for measuring the uptake of radioactive peptides into the yeast . The methods presented here can be adapted to measure a variety of substrates transported into...

Hauser M, Qian C, King S, Kauffman S, Naider F, Hettich R, et al.
J Mol Recognit . 2017 Oct; 31(2). PMID: 28994207
We are developing a rapid, time-resolved method using laser-activated cross-linking to capture protein-peptide interactions as a means to interrogate the interaction of serum proteins as delivery systems for peptides and...

Cevheroglu O, Becker J, Son C
Biochim Biophys Acta Biomembr . 2017 Sep; 1859(12):2435-2446. PMID: 28958779
G protein coupled receptors bind ligands that initiate intracellular signaling cascades via heterotrimeric G proteins. In this study, involvement of the N-terminal residues of yeast G-alpha (Gpa1p) with the C-terminal...

Uddin M, Naider F, Becker J
Biochim Biophys Acta Biomembr . 2017 Jul; 1859(10):2058-2067. PMID: 28754538
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae α-factor receptor Ste2p has been used extensively as a model to understand the molecular mechanism of signal transduction by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Single and double cysteine...

Bio Protoc . 2017 Jun; 6(22). PMID: 28573166
Background: Di-/tripeptides are one of the major sources of nitrogen, carbon, and amino acids for all organisms. Synthetic peptides containing a toxic amino acid residue provide an experimental approach to...

Biochim Biophys Acta Biomembr . 2017 Jan; 1859(5):698-711. PMID: 28073700
Dimerization of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) may play an important role in maturation, internalization, signaling and/or pharmacology of these receptors. However, the location where dimerization occurs is still under debate....
