In vitro reconstitution of substrate S-acylation by the zDHHC family of protein acyltransferases

Open Biology, 2022
Protein S-acylation, more commonly known as protein palmitoylation, is a biological process defined by the covalent attachment of long chain fatty acids onto cysteine residues of a protein, effectively altering the local hydrophobicity and influencing ...

DOCKGROUND Membrane Protein-Protein Set [PDF]

PLOS ONE, 2021
ABSTRACTMembrane proteins play essential role in cellular mechanisms. Despite that and the major progress in experimental structure determination, they are still significantly underrepresented in Protein Data Bank. Thus, computational approaches to protein structure determination, which are important in general, are especially valuable in the case of ...

Structure and dynamics of semaglutide- and taspoglutide-bound GLP-1R-Gs complexes

Cell Reports, 2021
Summary: The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) regulates insulin secretion, carbohydrate metabolism, and appetite and is an important target for treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Multiple GLP-1R agonists have entered into clinical trials,

Pharmacological hallmarks of allostery at the M4 muscarinic receptor elucidated through structure and dynamics

eLife, 2023
Allosteric modulation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is a major paradigm in drug discovery. Despite decades of research, a molecular-level understanding of the general principles that govern the myriad pharmacological effects exerted by GPCR ...

Fluorescently tagged nanobodies and NanoBRET to study ligand-binding and agonist-induced conformational changes of full-length EGFR expressed in living cells

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
IntroductionThe Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor is a member of the Erb receptor tyrosine kinase family. It binds several ligands including EGF, betacellulin (BTC) and TGF-α, controls cellular proliferation and invasion and is overexpressed in various ...

Informing β-cell regeneration strategies using studies of heterogeneity

Molecular Metabolism, 2019
Background: Current therapeutic strategies for type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rely on increasing or substituting endogenous insulin secretion in combination with lifestyle changes.

Structure of Human ATG9A, the Only Transmembrane Protein of the Core Autophagy Machinery

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: Autophagy is a catabolic process involving capture of cytoplasmic materials into double-membraned autophagosomes that subsequently fuse with lysosomes for degradation of the materials by lysosomal hydrolases.

Membrane protein secretases [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1997
A diverse range of membrane proteins of Type I or Type II topology also occur as a circulating, soluble form. These soluble forms are often derived from the membrane form by proteolysis by a group of enzymes referred to collectively as ‘secretases‘ or ‘sheddases’.

Super-resolution microscopy compatible fluorescent probes reveal endogenous glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor distribution and dynamics

Nature Communications, 2020
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor is an important regulator of appetite and glucose homeostasis. Here the authors describe super-resolution microscopy and in vivo imaging compatible fluorescent probes, which reveal endogenous glucagon-like peptide-1 ...

Membrane-bending proteins [PDF]

Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2009
Cellular membranes can assume a number of highly dynamic shapes. Many cellular processes also require transient membrane deformations. Membrane shape is determined by the complex interactions of proteins and lipids. A number of families of proteins that directly bend membranes have been identified.
