The Pharmacology of the SLC15A4‐TASL Complex, an Emerging Target for the Treatment of Lupus
ABSTRACT SLC15A4 is a member of the solute carrier superfamily that has been strongly linked to the pathogenesis of the auto‐immune disease SLE. The endo‐lysosomally localized SLC15A4 has traditionally been considered a proton‐dependent histidine and peptide transporter, but has also been shown to facilitate TLR7, 8, and 9 induced IFN‐alpha signaling ...

Integrative Insights Into DYRK1A From Molecular Function to Therapeutic Advancement
At the center the 3D structure of DYRK1A has been displayed. The dual‐function of DYRK1A involved in cancer and neurodegeneration, i.e., its overexpression drives Down syndrome, neurodegenerative disease etc., and underexpression causes intellectual disability, seizures, etc.

NanoBRET binding assay for histamine H2 receptor ligands using live recombinant HEK293T cells [PDF]
AbstractFluorescence/luminescence-based techniques play an increasingly important role in the development of test systems for the characterization of future drug candidates, especially in terms of receptor binding in the field of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).

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.

From Pharmacophore to Warhead: NAD+‐Targeting Triazoles as Mechanism‐Based Sirtuin Inhibitors
We report “Sirtuin Trapping Ligands” (SirTraps), mechanism‐based 1,2,3‐triazole inhibitors that hijack sirtuin (SIRT) catalysis to form covalent triazolium– or triazole–ADP‐ribose (ADPR) adducts from NAD+. These trapped intermediates stall the enzyme in an inactive state, providing a biocompatible alternative to thiocarbonyl inhibitors and a blueprint ...

Hybrid FRET–BRET biosensors were developed to monitor RAF–KRAS interactions in living cells. These sensors enable real‐time visualization of interaction dynamics, quantitative spectral analysis, and validation of mutation‐selective inhibitors, providing a versatile platform for probing KRAS regulation and therapeutic responses. ABSTRACT The RAS–RAF–MEK–

Targeting a nucleotide‐sensitive groove on Hsp70 that binds the Bim BH3 helix, we integrate structures, biophysics, and SAR from peptides, fragments, and phenalene‐dicarbonitrile “wedges.” These disrupt the Hsp70–Bim complex with sub‐µM cellular engagement and in vivo activity while sparing Hsp90/mortalin.

A Setmelanotide-like Effect at MC4R Is Achieved by MC4R Dimer Separation
Melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) is part of the leptin-melanocortin pathway and plays an essential role in mediating energy homeostasis. Mutations in the MC4R are the most frequent monogenic cause for obesity.

The GPCR Connection: Linking Alzheimer's Disease and Glioblastoma
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are biologically distinct age‐related brain disorders with opposing clinical phenotypes. AD is characterised by progressive neurodegeneration and cognitive decline, whereas GBM is characterised by aggressive cellular proliferation and a poor prognosis.
