Step-wise mechanical unfolding and dissociation of the GAIN domains of ADGRG1/GPR56, ADGRL1/Latrophilin-1 and ADGRB3/BAI3: insights into the mechanical activation hypothesis of adhesion G protein-coupled receptors
C. Fu, W. Huang, Q. Tang, M. Niu, S. Guo, T. Langenhan, G. Song, J. Yan
This study examines how mechanical forces affect the GAIN domains of three aGPCRs, showing force-induced destabilization and detachment, supporting the mechanical activation hypothesis.
