Function and Regulation of Endothelin Type A Receptor–Operated Transient Receptor Potential Canonical Channels

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011
.: The purpose of this study is to identify transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels responsible for receptor-operated Ca2+ entry (ROCE) triggered by activation of endothelin type A receptor (ETAR) and to clarify the importance of ...

Characterization of the functional role of the N-glycans in the AMPA receptor ligand-binding domain

open access: yes, 2003
The ligand-binding domains of AMPA receptor subunits carry two conserved N-glycosylation sites. In order to gain insight into the functional role of the corresponding N-glycans, we examined how the elimination of glycosylation at these sites (N407 and ...

Ligand Binding Domain of Estrogen Receptor Alpha Preserve a Conserved Structural Architecture Similar to Bacterial Taxis Receptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
It remains a mystery why estrogen hormone receptors (ERs), which are highly specific toward its endogenous hormones, are responsive to chemically distinct exogenous agents. Does it indicate that ERs are environmentally regulated?

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Engineered receptor binding domain immunogens elicit pan-sarbecovirus neutralizing antibodies outside the receptor binding motif [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Abstract Effective countermeasures are needed against emerging coronaviruses of pandemic potential, similar to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Designing immunogens that elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies to conserved viral epitopes on the major surface glycoprotein, spike, such as the receptor binding ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Ras signaling enhances the activity of C/EBPalpha to induce granulocytic differentiation by phosphorylation of serine 248 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The transcription factor C/EBPa regulates early steps of normal granulocyte differentiation since mice with a disruption of the C/EBPa gene do not express detectable levels of the G-CSF receptor and produce no neutrophils.

Ligand-guided homology modelling of the GABAB2 subunit of the GABAB receptor. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, and disturbances in the GABAergic system have been implicated in numerous neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases.
