Dissecting a novel allosteric mechanism of cruzain: A computer-aided approach.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease, a neglected infection affecting millions of people in tropical regions. There are several chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of this disease, but most of them are highly toxic and ...

Mechanism of Allosteric Modulation of the Cys-loop Receptors
Pharmaceuticals, 2010 The cys-loop receptor family is a major family of neurotransmitter-operated ion channels. They play important roles in fast synaptic transmission, controlling neuronal excitability, and brain function.

PASSer2.0: Accurate Prediction of Protein Allosteric Sites Through Automated Machine Learning
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022 Allostery is a fundamental process in regulating protein activities. The discovery, design, and development of allosteric drugs demand better identification of allosteric sites.

Finding Hidden Allosteric Sites in Proteins [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2014 The substantial dynamics that folded proteins undergo creates the potential for hidden allosteric sites-unexpected pockets capable of altering a protein's activity via long-range communication with the active site-that could be valuable drug targets.

The NSAID allosteric site of human cytosolic sulfotransferases [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017 Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most commonly prescribed drugs worldwide-more than 111 million prescriptions were written in the United States in 2014. NSAIDs allosterically inhibit cytosolic sulfotransferases (SULTs) with high specificity and therapeutically relevant affinities.

The evolution of an allosteric site in phosphorylase [PDF]
Structure, 1996 Glycogen phosphorylases consist of a conserved catalytic core onto which different regulatory sites are added. By comparing the structures of isozymes, we hope to understand the structural principles of allosteric regulation in this family of enzymes. Here, we focus on the differences in the glucose 6-phosphate (Glc-6-P) binding sites of two isozymes ...

Bias-inducing allosteric binding site in mu-opioid receptor signaling
SN Applied Sciences, 2021 G-protein-biased agonism of the mu-opioid receptor (μ-OR) is emerging as a promising strategy in analgesia. A deep understanding of how biased agonists modulate and differentiate G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) signaling pathways and how this is ...

Surface Sites for Engineering Allosteric Control in Proteins [PDF]
Science, 2008 Statistical analyses of protein families reveal networks of coevolving amino acids that functionally link distantly positioned functional surfaces. Such linkages suggest a concept for engineering allosteric control into proteins: The intramolecular networks of two proteins could be joined across their surface sites such that the ...

Illuminating the mechanism and allosteric behavior of NanoLuc luciferase
Nature Communications, 2023 NanoLuc, a superior β-barrel fold luciferase, was engineered 10 years ago but the nature of its catalysis remains puzzling. Here experimental and computational techniques are combined, revealing that imidazopyrazinone luciferins bind to an intra-barrel ...
