Struktureller Mechanismus eines Aktivitäts‐Photoschalters am β2‐adrenergen Rezeptor

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Zeitaufgelöste Strukturen aus Messungen an Röntgen‐Freie‐Elektronen‐Lasern in Kombination mit zellulären Assays zeigen, wie der photoschaltbare β‐Blocker Photoazolol‐1 als Wirksamkeits‐Photoschalter der Funktion des β2‐adrenergen Rezeptor wirkt. Die lichtinduzierte Neupositionierung des Liganden verschiebt die Aktivität von inversem Agonistimus hin zu ...

A Y178C rhodopsin mutation causes aggregation and comparatively severe retinal degeneration

Cell Death Discovery
Rhodopsin is the light-activated G protein-coupled receptor that initiates vision in photoreceptor cells of the retina. Numerous mutations in rhodopsin promote receptor misfolding and aggregation, causing autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa, a ...

Structural Mechanism of an Efficacy Photoswitch Targeting the β2‐adrenergic Receptor

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved structures from x‐ray free‐electron laser measurements combined with cellular assays demonstrate how the photoswitchable β‐blocker photoazolol‐1 acts as an efficacy switch of β2‐adrenergic receptor function. Light‐induced ligand repositioning shifts activity from inverse agonism toward neutral antagonism by altering local helical ...

A New Era for Using Natural Pigments: The Case of the C50 Carotenoid Called Bacterioruberin

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Haloarchaea are extremophilic microorganisms belonging to the Archaea domain that require high salt concentrations to live, thus inhabiting ecosystems like salty ponds, salty marshes, or extremely salty lagoons. They are more abundant and widely distributed worldwide than initially expected.

Coexpression of spectrally distinct rhodopsins in Aedes aegypti R7 photoreceptors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The retina of the mosquito Aedes aegypti can be divided into four regions based on the non-overlapping expression of a UV sensitive Aaop8 rhodopsin and a long wavelength sensitive Aaop2 type rhodopsin in the R7 photoreceptors.

Depth-resolved rhodopsin molecular contrast imaging for functional assessment of photoreceptors [PDF]

, 2015
Rhodopsin, the light-sensing molecule in the outer segments of rod photoreceptors, is responsible for converting light into neuronal signals in a process known as phototransduction. Rhodopsin is thus a functional biomarker for rod photoreceptors. Here we

Energy Landscapes in Chemical Reactions and Transport

ChemPhysChem, Volume 26, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
Kinetics/dynamics of chemical reactivity and transport of chemical species in a solid are both determined by the energy landscape in which they take place. Discussing common grounds but also distinct differences may help in advancing the understanding in both fields.

Ca2+-dependent changes in cyclic GMP levels are not correlated with opening and closing of the light-dependent permeability of toad photoreceptors. [PDF]

, 1982
We have measured the levels of 3',5'-guanosine monophosphate (cyclic GMP) in isolated retinas from toad to investigate their correlation to the opening and closing of the light-dependent permeability of photoreceptors. When Ca2+-induced changes in cyclic

Development of a Zebrafish Embryo‐Based Test System for Thyroid Hormone System Disruption: 3Rs in Ecotoxicological Research

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract There is increasing concern regarding pollutants disrupting the vertebrate thyroid hormone (TH) system, which is crucial for development. Thus, identification of TH system–disrupting chemicals (THSDCs) is an important requirement in the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) testing framework.

Unique Cl– pump rhodopsin with close similarity to H+ pump rhodopsin

Biophysics and Physicobiology, 2022
Microbial rhodopsin is a ubiquitous membrane protein in unicellular microorganisms. Similar to animal rhodopsin, this protein consists of seven transmembrane helices and the chromophore retinal.
