Computational rewiring of allosteric pathways reprograms GPCR selective responses to ligands

Patrick Daniel Barth, Mahdi Hijazi, Aurélien Laurent Jean-Charles Oggier, Dániel Kéri

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest class of cell surface receptors and drug targets, and respond to a wide variety of chemical stimuli to activate diverse cellular functions. Understanding and predicting how ligand binding triggers a speci ...

Enhancing the Signaling of GPCRs via Orthosteric Ions

Horst Vogel, Shuguang Yuan

G protein-coupled receptors play essential roles in cellular processes such as neuronal signaling, vision, olfaction, tasting, and metabolism. As GPCRs are the most important drug targets, understanding their interactions with ligands is of utmost importan ...

High-fat diet consumption alters energy metabolism in the mouse hypothalamus

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Antoine Timothée Cherix, Blanca Lizarbe Serra, Jean-René Cardinaux

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: High-fat diet consumption is known to trigger an inflammatory response in the hypothalamus, which has been characterized by an initial expression of pro-inflammatory genes followed by hypothalamic astrocytosis, microgliosis, and the ...

Neurochemical Modifications in the Hippocampus, Cortex and Hypothalamus of Mice Exposed to Long-Term High-Fat Diet

João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares, Blanca Lizarbe Serra

Metabolic syndrome and diabetes impact brain function and metabolism. While it is well established that rodents exposed to diets rich in saturated fat develop brain dysfunction, contrasting results abound in the literature, likely as result of exposure to ...

A Microfluidic Brain Interface for In Vivo Recording of Neurochemical Activity

Guillaume Cédric Yves Petitpierre

Neurological disorders have a strong negative impact on the quality of life of affected patients, their close relatives as well as on the health economic system. Early diagnosis associated with better treatment outcomes remain difficult to reach. Similarly ...

Two-dimensional crystallization of the mouse serotonin 5-HT3A receptor

Horst Vogel, Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Ghérici Hassaïne

The mouse serotonin 5-HT3A receptor is a homo-pentameric ligand-gated ion channel (pLGIC) mediating fast excitatory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. The molecular mechanism of ion permeation of 5-HT3A receptors triggered by the neurotransmi ...

Hijacking the Neuronal NMDAR Signaling Circuit to Promote Tumor Growth and Invasion

Douglas Hanahan, Leanne Li

Glutamate and its receptor N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) have been associated with cancer, although their functions are not fully understood. Herein, we implicate glutamate-driven NMDAR signaling in a mouse model of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumori ...

Thermal Unfolding of a Mammalian Pentameric Ligand-gated Ion Channel Proceeds at Consecutive, Distinct Steps

Horst Vogel, Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Cédric Deluz, Ghérici Hassaïne, Menno Berend Tol

Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) play an important role in fast synaptic signal transduction. Binding of agonists to the beta-sheet-structured extracellular domain opens an ion channel in the transmembrane alpha-helical region of the LGIC. How ...
