Structural basis of frizzled 7 activation and allosteric regulation

Nature Communications
Frizzleds (ten paralogs: FZD1-10) belong to the class F of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which remains poorly understood despite its crucial role in multiple key biological functions including embryonic development, stem cell regulation, and ...

Protease effects on the structure of acetylcholine receptor membranes from Torpedo californica. [PDF]

, 1980
Protease digestion of acetylcholine receptor-rich membranes derived from Torpedo californica electroplaques by homogenization and isopycnic centrifugation results in degradation of all receptor subunits without any significant effect on the appearance in

Discrimination and Quantification of Glomerular Receptor Subtypes for Atrial Natriuretic Factor (Anf) [PDF]

, 1991
Binding sites for atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) were determined on isolated rat glomeruli as well as on glomerular membranes. To define optimal conditions, binding of ANF was investigated varying incubation time, temperature and protein concentration ...

Toll-like receptors as adjuvant receptors

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2002
The mammalian Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are expressed on macrophages and dendritic cells, which are primarily involved in innate immunity. At present, ligands for several of the TLRs, such as TLR2, TLR3, TLR4, TLR5, TLR6, and TLR9, have been identified.

Structural and mechanistic basis for the regulation of the chloroplast signal recognition particle by (p)ppGpp

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LHCPs are transported to the thylakoid membrane via the (cp)SRP pathway. This process involves a transit complex of (cp)SRP43, (cp)SRP54 and LHCP, which interacts with (cp)FtsY and Alb3 at the membrane. GTP hydrolysis by (cp)SRP54 and (cp)FtsY triggers complex dissociation.

Multiple Routes for Glutamate Receptor Trafficking: Surface Diffusion and Membrane Traffic Cooperate to Bring Receptors to Synapses [PDF]

Science's STKE (electronic resource) : signal transduction knowledge environment 327 (21/03/2006) 13, 2007
Trafficking of glutamate receptors into and out of synapses is critically involved in the plasticity of excitatory synaptic transmission. Endocytosis and exocytosis of receptors have initially been thought to account alone for this trafficking. However, membrane proteins also traffic through surface lateral diffusion in the plasma membrane. We describe

Effect of knocking down the insulin receptor on mouse rod responses. [PDF]

, 2015
Previous experiments have shown that the insulin receptor (IR) is expressed in mammalian rods and contributes to the protection of photoreceptors during bright-light exposure.

Distinct dysregulated pathways in sporadic and Lynch syndrome‐associated colorectal cancer offer insights for targeted treatment

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study explores the distinct molecular mechanisms underlying Lynch syndrome‐associated and sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC). By highlighting the therapeutic potential of targeting the PI3K‐Akt pathway in Lynch syndrome‐associated CRC and the Wnt pathway in sporadic CRC, the findings open avenues for personalised treatment strategies, aiming to ...

Native and tagged CENP-A histones are functionally inequivalent

Epigenetics & Chromatin
Background Over the past several decades, the use of biochemical and fluorescent tags has elucidated mechanistic and cytological processes that would otherwise be impossible. The challenging nature of certain nuclear proteins includes low abundancy, poor

Structural basis of FPR2 in recognition of Aβ42 and neuroprotection by humanin

Nature Communications, 2022
The formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) is involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. Structures of FPR2 bound to Aβ42, humanin, or formyl peptides offer insight into Aβ42 neurotoxicity, humanin neuroprotection, and FPR ligand ...
