Sensing the allosteric force

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Allosteric regulation is an innate control in most metabolic and signalling cascades that enables living organisms to adapt to the changing environment by tuning the affinity and regulating the activity of target proteins. For a microscopic understanding

Clinofibrate Disrupts the SNORA80B/YTHDC1‐Driven M6A Modification to Suppress Cholesterol Metabolism and Cisplatin Resistance in ESCC

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers a non‐canonical role of SNORA80B in ESCC, showing it mediates AR‐driven metabolic reprogramming via N⁶‐methyladenosine (m6A) methylation. By binding YTHDC1, SNORA80B stabilizes cholesterol‐metabolic enzyme mRNAs and promotes tumor progression. The FDA‐approved drug clinofibrate inhibits SNORA80B by disrupting cholesterol homeostasis,

Orthosteric and allosteric binding sites of P2X receptors [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Biophysics Journal, 2008
P2X receptors for ATP comprise a distinct family of ligand gated ion channels with a range of properties. They have been shown to be involved in a variety of physiological processes including blood clotting, sensory perception, pain sensation, bone formation as well as inflammation and may provide a number of novel drug targets.

An Aptamer‐Based EXACT Anticoagulant as a Sustainable, Animal‐Free Alternative to Unfractionated Heparin

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
By simply conjugating thrombin's active‐site inhibitor, dabigatran, with an exosite inhibitor, aptamer HD1, the resulting EXosite‐ACTive site (EXACT) inhibitors show two orders of magnitude higher potency and selectivity via synergistic binding, while maintaining the aptamer's antidote‐reversible trait, yielding a potential substitute for the animal ...

The mechanism of allosteric inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
As the prototypical member of the PTP family, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is an attractive target for therapeutic interventions in type 2 diabetes.

Cinnamic‐Hydroxamic‐Acid Derivatives Exhibit Antibiotic, Anti‐Biofilm, and Supercoiling Relaxation Properties by Targeting Bacterial Nucleoid‐Associated Protein HU

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cinnamic‐hydroxamic‐acid derivatives (CHADs) are identified as novel inhibitors of the bacterial nucleoid‐associated protein HU, exhibiting potent antibacterial, anti‐biofilm (both inhibition and eradication), and DNA relaxation (anti‐supercoiling) activities. Moreover, CHADs demonstrate strong synergistic effects with multiple antibiotics.

Novel Electrophilic and Photoaffinity Covalent Probes for Mapping the Cannabinoid 1 Receptor Allosteric Site(s)

open access: yesJournal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2015
Undesirable side effects associated with orthosteric agonists/antagonists of cannabinoid 1 receptor (CB1R), a tractable target for treating several pathologies affecting humans, have greatly limited their translational potential. Recent discovery of CB1R

Punicalagin Enhances Autophagy Through Sirtuin 1/FoxO3a Axis to Inhibit Intracellular Mycobacterium Abscessus Infection

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Punicalagin, a pomegranate molecule, helps the body fight Mycobacterium abscessus. It preferentially boosts interstitial macrophages in the lung, stabilizing mitochondria and switching on the autophagy via SIRT1/FoxO3a, which lowers bacterial load without directly killing bacteria.
