Figure Lengend Snippet: Western blotting detection of cell-free produced GPCRs. After the reactions, the samples were centrifuged. The supernatant containing the solubilized protein was removed, and the pellet was resuspended in an equivalent volume of buffer. The solubilized protein and resuspended pellets were detected by Western blotting. As controls, reactions with no peptide or the nonsurfactant peptide (IT)5 were performed. (A) Western blot of solubilized hFPR3 in the presence of different peptides. (B) Western blot of solubilized hOR17-210 produced in the presence of different peptides. Similar results were obtained with hTAAR5 and mOR103-15.
Article Snippet: Protein sequences of the following four GPCRs were obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information online database: hOR17-210 (UniProt release no. {"type":"entrez-protein","attrs":{"text":"Q8WZA6","term_id":"166215840","term_text":"Q8WZA6"}} Q8WZA6 ), mOR103-15 (NP release no. 035113.1), hTAAR5 (NP release no. 003958.2), and hFPR3 (NP release no. 002021.3).
