Multiple Residues in the Second Extracellular Loop Are Critical for M3 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Activation [PDF]
Recent studies suggest that the second extracellular loop (o2 loop) of bovine rhodopsin and other class I G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) targeted by biogenic amine ligands folds deeply into the transmembrane receptor core where the binding of cis ...

The Orphan Receptor GPR17 Is Unresponsive to Uracil Nucleotides and Cysteinyl Leukotrienes [PDF]
Pairing orphan G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) with their cognate endogenous ligands is expected to have a major impact on our understanding of GPCR biology. It follows that the reproducibility of orphan receptor ligand pairs should be of fundamental importance to guide meaningful investigations into the pharmacology and function of individual ...

Human Deoxycytidine Kinase Is a Valuable Biocatalyst for the Synthesis of Nucleotide Analogues [PDF]
Natural ribonucleoside-5’-monophosphates are building blocks for nucleic acids which are used for a number of purposes, including food additives. Their analogues, additionally, are used in pharmaceutical applications.

Background Low levels of uracil in DNA result from misincorporation of dUMP or cytosine deamination. Vaccinia virus (VACV), the prototype poxvirus, encodes two enzymes that can potentially reduce the amount of uracil in DNA.

First-principles GW calculations for DNA and RNA nucleobases
On the basis of first-principles GW calculations, we study the quasiparticle properties of the guanine, adenine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil DNA and RNA nucleobases.

The Hyperthermophilic Euryarchaeon Archaeoglobus fulgidus Repairs Uracil by Single-Nucleotide Replacement [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hydrolytic deamination of cytosine to uracil in cellular DNA is a major source of C-to-T transition mutations if uracil is not repaired by the DNA base excision repair (BER) pathway. Since deamination increases rapidly with temperature, hyperthermophiles, in particular, are expected to succumb to such damage.
