The Role of Mfsd2a in Nervous System Diseases

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Major facilitator superfamily (MFS) is the maximum and most diversified membrane transporter, acting as uniporters, symporters and antiporters. MFS is considered to have a good development potential in the transport of drugs for the treatment of brain ...

Proteomics: in pursuit of effective traumatic brain injury therapeutics [PDF]

, 2015
Effective traumatic brain injury (TBI) therapeutics remain stubbornly elusive. Efforts in the field have been challenged by the heterogeneity of clinical TBI, with greater complexity among underlying molecular phenotypes than initially conceived.

Phosphonopeptides Revisited, in an Era of Increasing Antimicrobial Resistance [PDF]

, 2020
Given the increase in resistance to antibacterial agents, there is an urgent need for the development of new agents with novel modes of action. As an interim solution, it is also prudent to reinvestigate old or abandoned antibacterial compounds to assess

Transition metal ion FRET uncovers K+ regulation of a neurotransmitter/sodium symporter

Nature Communications, 2016
The neurotransmitter transporter SERT counter transport K+ to transport serotonin. Here the authors show that the activity of the prokaryotic orthologue LeuT is also modulated by this cation, suggesting a general regulatory role for K+on neutrotrasmitter:

Evolutionary ancestry and novel functions of the mammalian glucose transporter (GLUT) family

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Background In general, sugar porters function by proton-coupled symport or facilitative transport modes. Symporters, coupled to electrochemical energy, transport nutrients against a substrate gradient.

A partially-open inward-facing intermediate conformation of LeuT is associated with Na+ release and substrate transport

Nature Communications, 2018
Neurotransmitter:sodium symporters (NSS) modulate the duration and magnitude of signaling via the sodium-coupled reuptake of neurotransmitters. Here the authors describe quantitative single molecule imaging of ligand-induced, functional dynamics of both ...

A novel approach to probe host-pathogen interactions of bovine digital dermatitis, a model of a complex polymicrobial infection [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Polymicrobial infections represent a great challenge for the clarification of disease etiology and the development of comprehensive diagnostic or therapeutic tools, particularly for fastidious and difficult-to-cultivate bacteria. Using bovine

Allosterically Linked Binding Sites in Serotonin Transporter Revealed by Single Molecule Force Spectroscopy

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2020
Crystal structures and experiments relying on the tools of molecular pharmacology reported conflicting results on ligand binding sites in neurotransmitter/sodium symporters (NSS). We explored the number and functionality of ligand binding sites of NSS in

Genome-wide identification of the BASS gene family in four Gossypium species and functional characterization of GhBASSs against salt stress

Scientific Reports, 2021
Bile acid sodium symporter (BASS) family proteins encode a class of sodium/solute symporters. Even though the sodium transporting property of BASSs in mammals was well studied, their sodium transportability and functional roles in plant salt tolerance ...
