The calcium-sensing receptor as a regulator of cellular fate in normal and pathological conditions [PDF]
, 2013 The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) belongs to the evolutionarily conserved family of plasma membrane G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Early studies identified an essential role for the CaSR in systemic calcium homeostasis through its ability to ...

Molecular mechanisms of the non-coenzyme action of thiamin in brain. Biochemical, structural and pathway analysis [PDF]
, 2015 Thiamin (vitamin B1) is a pharmacological agent boosting central metabolism through the action of the coenzyme thiamin diphosphate (ThDP). However, positive effects, including improved cognition, of high thiamin doses in neurodegeneration may be ...

Allosteric regulation of phenylalanine hydroxylase [PDF]
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2012 The liver enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase is responsible for conversion of excess phenylalanine in the diet to tyrosine. Phenylalanine hydroxylase is activated by phenylalanine; this activation is inhibited by the physiological reducing substrate tetrahydrobiopterin.

Allosteric regulation of Argonaute proteins by miRNAs [PDF]
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2010 Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) bind to Argonaute (AGO) family proteins to form a related set of effector complexes that have diverse roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation throughout the eukaryotic lineage. Here sequence and structural analysis of the MID domain of the AGO proteins identified similarities with a family of

Insights into Conformational Dynamics and Allostery in DNMT1-H3Ub/USP7 Interactions
Molecules, 2021 DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) including DNMT1 are a conserved family of cytosine methylases that play crucial roles in epigenetic regulation. The versatile functions of DNMT1 rely on allosteric networks between its different interacting partners ...

Allosteric Inhibition of Factor XIIIa. Non-Saccharide Glycosaminoglycan Mimetics, but Not Glycosaminoglycans, Exhibit Promising Inhibition Profile [PDF]
, 2016 Factor XIIIa (FXIIIa) is a transglutaminase that catalyzes the last step in the coagulation process. Orthostery is the only approach that has been exploited to design FXIIIa inhibitors.

Allosteric regulation of rhomboid intramembrane proteolysis [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 2014 AbstractProteolysis within the lipid bilayer is poorly understood, in particular the regulation of substrate cleavage. Rhomboids are a family of ubiquitous intramembrane serine proteases that harbour a buried active site and are known to cleave transmembrane substrates with broad specificity.

Ligand Binding, Protein Fluctuations, and Allosteric Free Energy [PDF]
, 2006 Although the importance of protein dynamics in protein function is generally recognized, the role of protein fluctuations in allosteric effects scarcely has been considered.
