Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Orthogonal activation of metabotropic glutamate receptor using coordination chemogenetics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Cell-surface receptors play a pivotal role as transducers of extracellular input. Although different cell types express the same receptor, the physiological roles of the receptor are highly dependent on cell type.

Glutamate may be an efferent transmitter that elicits inhibition in mouse taste buds. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Recent studies suggest that l-glutamate may be an efferent transmitter released from axons innervating taste buds. In this report, we determined the types of ionotropic synaptic glutamate receptors present on taste cells and that underlie this postulated

Glutamate receptor pores [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, 2014
AbstractGlutamate receptors are ligand‐gated ion channels that mediate fast excitatory synaptic transmission throughout the central nervous system. Functional receptors are homo‐ or heteromeric tetramers with each subunit contributing a re‐entrant pore loop that dips into the membrane from the cytoplasmic side. The pore loops form a narrow constriction

ADP‐ribosylation: An emerging regulator of the epigenome

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
ADP‐ribosylation has emerged as a dynamic epigenetic signaling mechanism that modifies histones and chromatin‐associated proteins. Through coordinated PARylation and MARylation, it integrates with other histone modifications to regulate chromatin structure, transcription factor activity, and gene expression, influencing genome function and disease ...

Extracellular glutamate is not modulated by cannabinoid receptor activity

open access: yesScientific Reports
Cannabinoid receptor activation has been proposed to trigger glutamate release from astrocytes located in cortical layer 2/3. Here, we measure the basal concentration of extracellular glutamate in layer 2/3 of mouse somatosensory cortex and find it to be

The Role of Glutamate Receptors in Epilepsy

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2023
Glutamate is an essential excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, playing an indispensable role in neuronal development and memory formation. The dysregulation of glutamate receptors and the glutamatergic system is involved in numerous

Glutamate receptors in the kidney [PDF]

open access: yesNephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2015
l-Glutamate (l-Glu) plays an essential role in the central nervous system (CNS) as an excitatory neurotransmitter, and exerts its effects by acting on a large number of ionotropic and metabotropic receptors. These receptors are also expressed in several peripheral tissues, including the kidney.

Arginine methylation as a regulatory ratchet in cancer: From substrate selection to malignant‐state stabilization

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Arginine methylation can be viewed as a persistence‐prone post‐translational modification regulated by a network of PRMTs. Competitive and compensatory interactions among PRMTs can redistribute methylation across substrate pools shaped by sequence, structural, spatial, and environmental layers, reinforcing RNA‐processing, chromatin, and signaling ...

Cross-talk and regulation between glutamate and GABAB receptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015
Brain function depends on co-ordinated transmission of signals from both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters acting upon target neurons.
