Targeting hexokinase 2 to induce breast cancer cell senescence

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Hexokinase 2 (HK2) is a key enzyme linked to high tumour cell proliferation. Its inhibitors such as 3‐bromopyruvic acid (3‐BP) induce cancer cell death, highlighting HK2 modulation as potential anti‐cancer treatment. However, standard chemotherapies often cause the emergence of senescent cancer cells, which goes along with cell ...

Atrial natriuretic peptide counteracts aldosterone secretion by preventing acute angiotensin II‐induced cAMP signalling

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Aldosterone plays a key role in blood pressure and volume regulation. Enhanced aldosterone secretion contributes to cardiovascular and renal diseases. Therefore, inhibitors of aldosterone receptors and synthase are essential drugs for the treatment of hypertension and heart failure.

Structural and biochemical basis for retinol‐binding protein 4 antagonism by tinlarebant

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Retinol‐binding protein 4 (RBP4) is a member of the lipocalin superfamily that is connected to disease states such as insulin resistance, fatty liver disease and ocular disorders including Stargardt disease. Several retinoid and non‐retinoid antagonists of this protein have been developed for potential clinical use, but none have

Molecular dynamics simulations and fluorescence spectroscopy suggest reduced tryptophan‐to‐heme energy transfer facilitates lignin degradation in ClassII peroxidases

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In lignin peroxidase and versatile peroxidase, low FRET from buried Trp to heme promotes long‐range electron transfer (LRET) from substrate to heme. This efficient electron flow is facilitated by reduced FRET competition. This mechanism likely evolved to enable the effective degradation of bulky, high‐redox‐potential lignin that cannot reach the enzyme'

Brief encounters and lasting impressions—How target protein half‐life affects reactive metabolite signaling

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Lipid‐derived reactive electrophile molecules (REMs) are generated from fatty acids through lipoxygenase or cyclooxygenase‐assisted catalysis, or free radical‐induced lipid peroxidation events. REMs so‐produced covalently modify nearby protein‐cysteines, and in the case of ‘first responder’ proteins, can trigger gain‐of‐function signaling with context ...

Structural and functional insights into rhodopsin‐like and secretin‐like GPCR–arrestin interactions and regulation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Distinct GPCR phosphorylation barcodes and arrestin conformational states direct arrestin‐mediated signaling and trafficking. The graphical abstract depicts the structural diversity of GPCR–arrestin complexes by overlaying representative core‐engaged and tail‐engaged conformations.
