An opioid-like system regulating feeding behavior in C. elegans

eLife, 2015
Neuropeptides are essential for the regulation of appetite. Here we show that neuropeptides could regulate feeding in mutants that lack neurotransmission from the motor neurons that stimulate feeding muscles. We identified nlp-24 by an RNAi screen of 115

Photoaffinity labeling coupled to MS to identify peptide biological partners: Secondary reactions, for better or for worse?

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract Affinity photolabeling is a smart method to study noncovalent and transient interactions and provide a submolecular picture of the contacts between interacting partners. In this review, we will focus on the identification of peptide partners using photoaffinity labeling coupled to mass spectrometry in different contexts such as in vitro with a

Neuroimmune Interaction in the Regulation of Peripheral Opioid-mediated Analgesia in Inflammation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2016
Peripheral immune-cell-mediated analgesia in inflammation is an important endogenous mechanism of pain control. Opioid receptors localized on peripheral sensory nerve terminals are activated by endogenous opioid peptides released from immune cells to ...

Mass Spectrometry Structural Proteomics Enabled by Limited Proteolysis and Cross‐Linking

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The exploration of protein structure and function stands at the forefront of life science and represents an ever‐expanding focus in the development of proteomics. As mass spectrometry (MS) offers readout of protein conformational changes at both the protein and peptide levels, MS‐based structural proteomics is making significant strides in the

Evidence of Involvement of the Calcitonin Gene‐Related Peptide in Restless Legs Syndrome

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common sensory‐motor disorder characterized by an urge to move the legs, often with unpleasant sensations, particularly during rest. Current treatments include iron supplementation, dopamine agonists, and opioids, but new therapeutic approaches are needed.

Nutritional priorities to support GLP‐1 therapy for obesity: A joint Advisory from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, the American Society for Nutrition, the Obesity Medicine Association, and The Obesity Society

Obesity, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Glucagon‐like peptide 1 receptor agonists and combination medications (hereafter collectively referred to as GLP‐1s) are shifting the treatment landscape for obesity. However, real‐world challenges and limited clinician and public knowledge on nutritional and lifestyle interventions can limit GLP‐1 efficacy, equitable results, and ...

Formation of a β‐Endorphin Corona Mitigates Alzheimer's Amyloidogenesis

Small, EarlyView.
This study revealed the molecular mechanism of exercise‐induced β‐endorphin in suppressing the toxicity of Alzheimer's Aβ in vitro, in vivo and in silico. Abstract Senile plaques, comprised of nanosized aggregates of amyloid‐β (Aβ) peptides in the brain, are a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
