Meclonazepam sensitivity of parasitic flatworms correlates with TRPMMCLZ sensitivity to meclonazepam

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance
The ionotropic portfolio of parasitic flatworms affords considerable opportunity for development of new anthelmintics. In this regard, transient receptor potential ion channels (TRP channels), cation channels responsive to various physiochemical cues ...

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

TRPtracker: a community database for monitoring praziquantel sensitivity at TRPMPZQ variants

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance
The anthelmintic praziquantel (PZQ) has been used for decades as the clinical therapy for schistosomiasis, and remains the only available drug. As a cheap and effective drug therapy for all human disease-causing Schistosoma species, usage of PZQ ...

Distance constraints on activation of TRPV4 channels by AKAP150-bound PKCα in arterial myocytes. [PDF]

, 2017
TRPV4 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 4) channels are Ca2+-permeable channels that play a key role in regulating vascular tone. In arterial myocytes, opening of TRPV4 channels creates local increases in Ca2+ influx, detectable optically as "TRPV4

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Genes and primary headaches: discovering new potential therapeutic targets [PDF]

, 2013
Genetic studies have clearly shown that primary headaches (migraine, tension-type headache and cluster headache) are multifactorial disorders characterized by a complex interaction between different genes and environmental factors.

The ubiquitin ligase RNF115 is required for the clearance of damaged lysosomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Upon lysosomal rupture, an E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF115 translocates from the cytosol to the damaged lysosomal membrane. Moreover, RNF115 depletion impairs the clearance of damaged lysosomes, identifying it as a key regulator of lysosomal quality control.

The neurochemistry and morphology of functionally identified corneal polymodal nociceptors and cold thermoreceptors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
It is generally believed that the unencapsulated sensory nerve terminals of modality specific C- and Aδ-neurons lack structural specialization. Here we determined the morphology of functionally defined polymodal receptors and cold thermoreceptors in the ...

The Effects of Neurosteroids, such as Pregnenolone Sulfate and its receptor, TrpM3 in the Retina. [PDF]

, 2019
Pregnenolone sulfate (PregS) is the precursor to all steroid hormones and is produced in neurons in an activity dependent manner. Studies have shown that PregS production is upregulated during certain critical periods of development, such as in the first
