Non‐cytotoxic C2‐linked alkynyl oligo ethylene glycol adenosine conjugates are highly water soluble and stimulate adenosine receptor activity. Abstract A series of 12 novel polyethylene‐glycol(PEG)‐alkynyl C2‐adenosine(ADN) conjugates were synthesized using a robust Sonogashira coupling protocol and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and mass ...

Opioid regulation of Mu receptor internalisation: relevance to the development of tolerance and dependence [PDF]
Internalisation of the mu opioid receptor from the surface of cells is generally achieved by receptor occupancy with agonist ligands of high efficacy. However, in many situations the potent analgesic morphine fails to promote internalisation effectively ...

Chemical synapses are tiny and overcrowded environments enriched with thousands of protein species. Many efforts have been devoted to developing sensors and actuators able to evaluate and control synaptic communication. Most of these recent tools are based on the engineering of one or more specific synaptic proteins used to target active moieties to ...

Modulation of sensory information processing by a neuroglobin in C. elegans [PDF]
Sensory receptor neurons match their dynamic range to ecologically relevant stimulus intensities. How this tuning is achieved is poorly understood in most receptors. We show that in the C. elegans URX O2 sensing neurons two putative molecular O2 sensors, a neuroglobin and O2-binding soluble guanylate cyclases, work antagonistically to sculpt a slowly ...

Separate roles of PKA and EPAC in renal function unraveled by the optogenetic control of cAMP levels in vivo [PDF]
Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger that regulates a variety of essential processes in diverse cell types, functioning via cAMP-dependent effectors such as protein kinase A (PKA) and/or exchange proteins directly activated by cAMP (EPAC ...

An investigation of the response of a model class IIIA Adenyly Cyclase to carbon dioxide [PDF]
Adenylyl cyclase catalyses the conversion of adenosine triphosphate into 3’,5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate and pyrophosphate. Adenylyl cyclases are grouped into six distinct Classes based on amino acid sequence similarity.

Ciliary adenylyl cyclases control the Hedgehog pathway [PDF]
Protein kinase A (PKA) accumulates at the base of the cilium where it negatively regulates the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway. Although PKA activity is essentially controlled by the cAMP produced by adenylyl cyclases, the influence of these enzymes on the Hh ...
