ProSiteHunter: A Unified Framework for Sequence‐Based Prediction of Protein‐Nucleic Acid and Protein‐Protein Binding Sites

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study proposed a unified sequence‐based framework for protein binding site prediction, which adopted a tri‐track semantic multi‐source feature fusion strategy to effectively capture diverse macromolecular interaction sites and further improved the accuracy of antibody‐antigen interaction prediction.

Allosteric modulators of metabotropic glutamate receptors: from virtual screening to experimental validation

, 2007
The goal of this thesis was to gain further insight into the binding behavior of ligands in the heptahelical domain (HD) of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs).

A Brain‐Penetrant Nanobody Reveals GSK3β‐Driven Proline‐Directed Phosphorylation as a Master Regulator of Ischemic Neurodegeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A brain‐targeted nanoparticle enables delivery of a therapeutic nanobody (Nb.29E9) that inhibits pathogenic GSK3β signaling. This intervention restores AMPK/mTORC1/TGFβ homeostasis, attenuates neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, and promotes long‐term functional recovery after ischemic stroke.

S 47445 Produces Antidepressant- and Anxiolytic-Like Effects through Neurogenesis Dependent and Independent Mechanisms

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2017
Glutamatergic dysfunctions are observed in the pathophysiology of depression. The glutamatergic synapse as well as the AMPA receptor’s (AMPAR) activation may represent new potential targets for therapeutic intervention in the context of major depressive ...

Allosteric Inhibition of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 by an EZH2‐Selective Small Molecule Inhibitor

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study characterizes C36, a highly selective EZH2/PRC2 inhibitor that acts via a novel allosteric mechanism. Unlike previous inhibitors, C36 inhibits EZH2/PRC2 by disrupting the allosteric communication between EZH2 and EED in a SAM‐noncompetitive manner.

Positive allosteric modulation of mGluR5 accelerates extinction learning but not relearning following methamphetamine self-administration

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2012
Recent studies have implicated glutamate neurotransmission as an important substrate for the extinction of conditioned behaviors, including responding for drug reinforcement.

A Phase‐Resolved Geometric Deep Learning Framework Maps Structural Determinants of Disease‐Associated Protein Aggregation and Guides Suppressor Design

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SKALE 2.0 maps disease‐associated protein aggregation as a phase‐resolved structural process, linking mutation‐induced geometric perturbations to nucleation, elongation, and suppressor design. Across neurodegenerative proteins, the framework reveals cryptic aggregation vulnerabilities, separates phase‐concordant and phase‐switching mutations, and ...

Direct activation of M1 muscarinic receptors by the positive allosteric modulator, BQCA

, 2014
BQCA (Benzyl quinolone carboxylic acid) was recently identified as a positive allosteric modulator of the M1 muscarinic receptor. We studied the nature of this effect on muscarinic signaling at the single cell level in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells ...

Effects of Ivermectin as an Allosteric Modulator of nAChRs on Dopamine Release

, 2022
Dopamine (DA) terminals are regulated by acetylcholine activity on nicotinic receptors (nAChRs). Nicotine reduces DA release from low frequency stimulation, but enhances release at higher frequencies.

Conformational Transduction Amplification in a Biomimetic Polyelectrolyte for Ultrasensitive Imaging of Iron Metabolism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work designs a peptide‐free polyelectrolyte with stable, switchable conformations and near‐infrared fluorescence in water. It harnesses a cooperative Fe3+‐triggered sheet‐to‐helix transition to generate nonlinear fluorescence quenching, enabling the ultrasensitive, real‐time visualization of Fe3+ ion distribution and metabolic trafficking at ...
