Coordinated regulation of PIEZO2 by alternative splicing, post‐translational modification, membrane trafficking and protein partners

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Regulatory mechanisms such as alternative splicing, post‐translational modification, membrane trafficking, and protein interactions control channel gating, membrane abundance, and overall activity of PIEZO2. Proper regulation supports PIEZO2‐dependent proprioceptive, somatosensory, nociceptive, pruriceptive and interoceptive ...

Drafting the calmodulation playbook: Emerging structural insights into transient receptor potential channel regulation by calmodulin

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous calcium (Ca2+) sensor that translates intracellular Ca2+ signals into modulation of hundreds of effector proteins including ion channels. CaM is increasingly recognized as a key regulator of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel family, yet the underlying ‘calmodulation playbook’ is only ...

Erg currents support electrical bursting in murine anterior pituitary corticotrophs

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Anterior pituitary corticotrophs are a central component of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis that controls the release of glucocorticoids from the adrenal gland in response to stress. The hypothalamic secretagogue corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH) promotes electrical bursting of mouse anterior pituitary ...

Identification of Crucial Drug Targets and Pathways to Reprogram Drug Resistance Through Epigenetic Modulation in Advanced Lung Cancer Using Integrated Bioinformatics Approach

open access: yesComputational and Systems Oncology, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Resistance to chemotherapy, which is demonstrated in almost every patient with advanced‐stage lung cancer (ALC), underscores an urgent need to unravel the underlying molecular mechanisms and identify novel strategies to overcome drug resistance. In the present study, an attempt was made to identify epigenetic targets and modulators that can be

Dissociation Between Hemodynamic and Metabolic Responses to Chemogenetic Modulation of Astrocytes in Mouse Visual Cortex

open access: yesGlia, Volume 74, Issue 7, July 2026.
Chemogenetic astrocytic modulation in mouse visual cortex showed no local glucose uptake change (PET) but enhanced hyperemia and vasomotion (fUSi), revealing a local dissociation with a negative correlation between metabolic and hemodynamic signals.

Evidence for a Two‐Step Model for Activation of GPR25 by the Chemoattractant CXCL17

open access: yesBasic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 139, Issue 1, July 2026.
ABSTRACT CXCL17 was recently reported to activate GPR25, a receptor expressed by T‐regulatory cells. Although classified as a chemokine, the activity of CXCL17 is ablated by minor C‐terminal truncation, suggesting a novel mode of receptor activation. We set out to test this hypothesis by mutagenesis. GPR25 was expressed in the murine pre‐B cell line L1.

Microbial Metabolite‐Stimulated Bitter Taste Receptor T2R14 Signaling Is Modulated by CFTR Interactions

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
Bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) play an important role in physiological and cellular responses. Bitter tasting chemicals and microbial metabolites can bind to T2R14, which enables interactions between T2R14 and specific intracellular domains of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) anion channel.

Influence of MC1R Gene Variants on Coat Color of Indicine Cattle Breeds

open access: yesAnimal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Indicine cattle display a broad range of coat colors, representing a relevant and breed‐defining trait required for registration in breeder association. Among the genes involved in pigmentation, MC1R stands out for modulating the synthesis of melanin‐related proteins and remains poorly explored in indicine cattle breeds. Therefore, we aimed to

GPCR dimerisation

Life Sciences, 2003
The concept that GPCRs exist and potentially function as dimers and/or higher oligomers has progressed recently from hypothesis to being widely accepted. A range of techniques has contributed to this understanding, including co-immunoprecipitation and various forms of fluorescence and bioluminescence resonance energy transfer.

Production of GPCR and GPCR complexes for structure determination

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2013
Since the first high-resolution structure of the beta 2 adrenergic receptor (b2AR) in 2007, we have seen a growing number of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) structures coming to the repertory, providing a significant progress in our understanding of the structural basis of their function.
