Nicotine Effects and the Endogenous Opioid System

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2014
.: Nicotine (NIC) is an exogenous ligand of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), and it influences various functions in the central nervous system. Systemic administration of NIC elicits the release of endogenous opioids (endorphins, enkephalins,

Innate Lymphoid Cells in Tissue Homeostasis and Diseases

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a heterogeneous group of immune cells with phenotypic and functional plasticity. ILCs dynamically regulate various immune cell types and play a crucial role in the pathophysiological processes of specific organs during sepsis. Targeting ILCs is a promising strategy for treating sepsis.

Backbone Protecting Groups for Enhanced Peptide and Protein Synthesis

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 33, August 11, 2025.
This review provides a comprehensive account of the use of backbone N‐protecting groups in peptide synthesis. It includes detailed synthetic methods relating to their introduction and removal and their application to “difficult” peptides and proteins of biological significance in both academic and industry contexts.

A Hanks‐type bacterial kinase, PknS, directly phosphorylates the alternative sigma factor EcfK to promote resistance to protist predation

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 9, Page 2772-2793, May 2026.
The Xanthomonas citri Hanks‐type kinase PknS autophosphorylates and directly phosphorylates the alternative sigma factor EcfK at five residues. Besides the conserved residue T51 in the σ2 domain, phosphorylation of a residue in the linker between σ2 and σ4 is critical for EcfK activation by promoting its interaction with a positively charged pocket in ...

Isolation and structure of pro-methionine-enkephalin: Potential enkephalin precursor from porcine hypothalamus

open access: yes, 1979
A hexapeptide that we have named pro-methionine-enkephalin has been isolated from acid extracts of porcine hypothalami and found to have the amino acid sequence H-Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met(O)-Arg-OH.

Mass Spectrometry Imaging Combined With Single‐Cell Transcriptional Profiling Reveals the Multidimensional Spatial Distributions and Biosynthetic Pathways of Medicinal Components in Andrographis paniculata

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2876-2890, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The synthesis and accumulation of active ingredients in medicinal plants are distributed in specific organs, tissues, and cell types, which are important for the exploitation of medicinal plants. However, the fine distribution of active ingredients is difficult to know. Here, the system of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) integrated with single‐

Recent Advancements in the Characterization of D‐Amino Acid and Isoaspartate Post‐Translational Modifications

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 2, Page 218-230, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT One of the great triumphs of mass spectrometry‐based peptide and protein characterization is the characterization of their modifications as most modifications have a characteristic mass shift. What happens when the modification does not change the mass of the peptide?

Blood-brain barrier, half-time disappearance, and brain distribution for labeled enkephalin and a potent analog

open access: yes, 1976
The natural opiate methionine-enkephalin and its D-alanine 2 analog were iodinated by a method involving lactoperoxidase and purified by partition chromatography on Sephadex G-25.
