Phosphocholine-Modified Lipooligosaccharides of Haemophilus influenzae Inhibit ATP-Induced IL-1beta Release by Pulmonary Epithelial Cells [PDF]

, 2018
Phosphocholine-modified bacterial cell wall components are virulence factors enabling immune evasion and permanent colonization of the mammalian host, by mechanisms that are poorly understood.

Overview of Encapsulated Lysine and Methionine and Their Impacts on Transition Cow Performance and Health

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The transition period in dairy cows, spanning 3 weeks before and after calving, is a critical phase characterized by increased nutrient demands, reduced dry matter intake (DMI), and elevated risk of metabolic disorders such as negative nutrient balance (NNB), lipolysis, proteolysis, and oxidative stress.

Structures of highly flexible intracellular domain of human α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor

Nature Communications, 2022
The intracellular domain (ICD) of Cys-loop receptors mediates many of their functions, but no complete structure of a Cys-loop receptor ICD is available to date.

A photoisomerizable muscarinic antagonist. Studies of binding and of conductance relaxations in frog heart [PDF]

, 1982
These experiments employ the photoisomerizable compound, 3,3'-bis- [alpha-(trimethylammonium)methyl]azobenzene (Bis-Q), to study the response to muscarinic agents in frog myocardium. In homogenates from the heart, trans-Bis-Q blocks the binding of [3H]-N-

Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review introduces the skeletal interoceptive circuitry, covering the ascending signals from bone tissues to the brain (sensors), the central neural circuits that integrate this information and dispatch commands (CPU), and the descending pathways that regulate bone homeostasis (effectors).

Unique nicotinic responses are present in distinct subtypes of mouse medial prefrontal layer V pyramidal neurons

Scientific Reports
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine supports goal-directed cognitive functions via activation of its nicotinic and muscarinic classes of receptors within the prefrontal cortex.

Rates and Equilibria for a Photoisomerizable Antagonist at the Acetylcholine Receptor of Electrophorus Electroplaques [PDF]

, 1985
Voltage-jump and light-flash experiments have been performed on isolated Electrophorus electroplaques exposed simultaneously to nicotinic agonists and to the photoisomerizable compound 2,2'-bis-[α-(trimethylammonium)methyl]-azobenzene (2BQ).

Monod-Wyman-Changeux Analysis of Ligand-Gated Ion Channel Mutants [PDF]

, 2017
We present a framework for computing the gating properties of ligand-gated ion channel mutants using the Monod-Wyman-Changeux (MWC) model of allostery. We derive simple analytic formulas for key functional properties such as the leakiness, dynamic range,

NSAIDS AS MODULATORS OF CATION CHANNELS: FENAMATES REPURPOSING IN CHANNELOPATHIES

ChemMedChem, Accepted Article.
Cationic ion channels are transmembrane proteins that regulate the flux of cations (potassium, sodium, and calcium) across cell membrane, playing a pivotal role in many cellular functions. Disruptions of their activity can lead to the so‐called genetic or acquired channelopathies, a heterogeneous group of diseases that affect multiple human systems ...
