Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) are key regulators of calcium homeostasis.
  • PTH1-Rc, a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), mediates the actions of PTH and PTHrP in bone and other tissues.
  • The discovery of PTH2-Rc and potential other subtypes adds complexity to PTH receptor signaling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of PTH1-Rc regulation, activation, and signaling.
  • To understand the role of PTH1-Rc in normal physiology and disease states.
  • To develop a detailed atomic model of the PTH-PTH1-Rc complex for drug discovery.

Main Methods:

  • Photoaffinity crosslinking
  • Site-directed mutagenesis
