Structure of a membrane-bound menaquinol:organohalide oxidoreductase

Christof Holliger, Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Julien Maillard, Dongchun Ni, Babatunde Edukpe Ekundayo, Lorenzo Cimmino

Organohalide-respiring bacteria are key organisms for the bioremediation of soils and aquifers contaminated with halogenated organic compounds. The major players in this process are respiratory reductive dehalogenases, corrinoid enzymes that use organohali ...

Rules and mechanisms governing G protein coupling selectivity of GPCRs

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Pablo Gainza Cirauqui

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) convert extracellular stimuli into intracellular signaling by coupling to heterotrimeric G proteins of four classes: Gi/o, Gq, Gs, and G12/13. However, our understanding of the G protein selectivity of GPCRs is incomplet ...

Gαi1 inhibition mechanism of ATP-bound adenylyl cyclase type 5

Ursula Röthlisberger, Siri Camee van Keulen, Daniele Narzi

Conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to the second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is an essential reaction mechanism that takes place in eukaryotes, triggering a variety of signal transduction pathways. ATP conversion is catalyzed by ...

Reprogramming G Protein-Coupled Receptor Structure, Function And Signaling By Computational Design

Dániel Kéri

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are 7-transmembrane alpha-helical integral membrane proteins on which cells heavily rely to receive information regarding their external environment. These receptors are able to transfer information to intracellular down ...

Computational pipeline to probe NaV1.7 gain-of-function variants in neuropathic painful syndromes

Stefano Zamuner, Margherita Marchi

Applications of machine learning and graph theory techniques to neuroscience have witnessed an increased interest in the last decade due to the large data availability and unprecedented technology developments. Their employment to investigate the effect of ...

Association of Both Inhibitory and Stimulatory G alpha Subunits Implies Adenylyl Cyclase 5 Deactivation

Ursula Röthlisberger, Siri Camee van Keulen, Daniele Narzi

Adenylyl cyclase (AC) generates cyclic AMP required for a variety of cellular functions, and its regulation plays a major role in cellular signal transduction in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. All membrane-bound AC isoforms in eukaryotes can be activated by s ...

Regulation of adenylyl cyclase 5 in striatal neurons confers the ability to detect coincident neuromodulatory signals

Ursula Röthlisberger, Siri Camee van Keulen, Daniele Narzi, Paolo Carloni

Author summary Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) are enzymes that can translate extracellular signals into the intracellular molecule cAMP, which is thus a 2nd messenger of extracellular events. The brain expresses nine membrane-bound AC variants, and AC5 is the dom ...

Co-expression of CCT subunits hints at TRiC assembly

Oksana Andrei Sergeeva

The eukaryotic cytosolic chaperonin, t-complex polypeptide 1 (TCP-1) ring complex or TRiC, is responsible for folding a tenth of the proteins in the cell. TRiC is a double-ringed barrel with each ring composed of eight different CCT (chaperonin containing ...

Associations between genetic variations and global motion perception

Michael Herzog

The cholinergic system is known to strongly modulate perceptual and cognitive processes, and the alpha7 subunit of the cholinergic nicotinic receptor (CHRNA7) is broadly expressed within the visual system. Here, we assessed whether genetic variations of CH ...

Towards Elucidating the Mechanism of Action of Biguanides

Nicolas Peter Goeldel

Diabetes type 2 patients are insensitive to insulin, a condition that leads to reduced glucose uptake by cells and, subsequently, to high concentration of glucose in the blood. For 60 years, biguanides have been one of the few effective therapeutics in red ...
