Deoxyguanosine is a TLR7 agonist [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Immunology, 2019
AbstractToll‐like receptor 7 (TLR7) is an innate immune sensor for single‐strand RNA (ssRNA). Recent structural analysis revealed that TLR7 has an additional binding site for nucleosides such as guanosine, and is activated when both guanosine and ssRNA bind.

A covalently bound photoisomerizable agonist. Comparison with reversibly bound agonists at electrophorus electroplaques [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
After disulphide bonds are reduced with dithiothreitol, trans-3-(alpha-bromomethyl)-3’-[alpha-(trimethylammonium)methyl]azobenzene (trans-QBr) alkylates a sulfhydryl group on receptors.

STING agonist inflames the pancreatic cancer immune microenvironment and reduces tumor burden in mouse models

open access: yesJournal of Immunotherapy for Cancer, 2019
Pancreatic cancer is characterized by an immune suppressive stromal reaction that creates a barrier to therapy. A murine transgenic pancreatic cancer cell line that recapitulates human disease was used to test whether a STimulator of Interferon Genes ...

RGS4 regulates partial agonism of the M2 muscarinic receptor-activated K+ currents. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Partial agonists are used clinically to avoid overstimulation of receptor-mediated signalling, as they produce a submaximal response even at 100% receptor occupancy.

TLRs as a Promise Target Along With Immune Checkpoint Against Gastric Cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers in the world, and the incidence of gastric cancer in Asia appears to increase in recent years. Although there is a lot of improvement in treatment approaches, the prognosis of GC is poor.

Proopiomelanocortin Deficiency Treated with a Melanocortin-4 Receptor Agonist.

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2016
Patients with rare defects in the gene encoding proopiomelanocortin (POMC) have extreme early-onset obesity, hyperphagia, hypopigmentation, and hypocortisolism, resulting from the lack of the proopiomelanocortin-derived peptides melanocyte-stimulating ...

Agonists and Partial Agonists of Rhodopsin:  Retinals with Ring Modifications [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemistry, 2005
Activation of the visual pigment rhodopsin is initiated by isomerization of its retinal chromophore to the all-trans geometry, which drives the conformation of the protein to the active state. We have examined by FTIR spectroscopy the impact of a series of modifications at the ring of retinal on the activation process and on molecular interactions ...

Mechanistic insights into allosteric regulation of the A2A adenosine G protein-coupled receptor by physiological cations. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cations play key roles in regulating G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), although their mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, 19F NMR is used to delineate the effects of cations on functional states of the adenosine A2A GPCR.

Binding and functional structure-activity similarities of 4-substituted 2,5-dimethoxyphenyl isopropylamine analogues at 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B serotonin receptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Certain 4-substituted analogs of 1-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)isopropylamine (2,5-DMA) are psychoactive classical hallucinogens or serotonergic psychedelic agents that function as human 5-HT2A (h5-HT2A) serotonin receptor agonists.

GnRH antagonist versus long agonist protocols in IVF: a systematic review and meta-analysis accounting for patient type

open access: yesHuman Reproduction Update, 2017
BACKGROUND Most reviews of IVF ovarian stimulation protocols have insufficiently accounted for various patient populations, such as ovulatory women, women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or women with poor ovarian response, and have included ...
