Variants of the gain domain of adhesion g protein-coupled receptors

The present invention relates to variants of the GAIN domain (G-protein-coupled receptor autoproteolysis-inducing domain) of an adhesion G protein-coupled receptor (ADGRG), such as a GAIN domain variant comprising or consisting of the amino acid sequence o ...

Analysis of a bac operon-silenced strain suggests pleiotropic effects of bacilysin in Bacillus subtilis

Mustafa Demir

Bacilysin, as the simplest peptide antibiotic made up of only L-alanine and L-anticapsin, is produced and excreted by Bacillus subtilis under the control of quorum sensing. We analyzed bacilysin-nonproducing strain OGU1 which was obtained by bacA-targeted ...

Detection of D-amino acid oxidase using hyperpolarized molecular probes

Rolf Gruetter, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Alice Radaelli

D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) is an enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of D-amino acids in the body. Here, we explored the possibility of detecting D-amino acid oxidase activity by monitoring its metabolism in the rat kidney after a bolus injection of hype ...

Plasma Membrane-bound G Protein-coupled Bile Acid Receptor Attenuates Liver Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury Via the Inhibition of Toll-like Receptor 4 Signaling in Mice

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Xu Wang

The plasma membrane-bound G protein-coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5) displays varied levels of expression in different tissues. TGR5-induced liver protection has been demonstrated during several liver diseases, except during ischemia/reperfusion injury (I ...

Assessment of metabolic fluxes in the mouse brain in vivo using (1)H-[(13)C] NMR spectroscopy at 14.1 Tesla

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Hongxia Lei, Bernard Lanz

(13)C magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) combined with the administration of (13)C labeled substrates uniquely allows to measure metabolic fluxes in vivo in the brain of humans and rats. The extension to mouse models may provide exclusive prospect for t ...

Capping Motif for Peptide Helix Formation

Thomas Rizzo, Aleksandra Zabuga

It is known that a C-terminal lysine stabilizes helix formation in polyalanine peptides that have seven or more residues. Using a combination of cold ion spectroscopy and DFT calculations, we demonstrate that even a three-residue peptide, Ac-Phe-Ala-LysH+, ...

Hyperpolarized 13C lactate as a substrate for in vivo metabolic studies in skeletal muscle

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Yuhei Takado

Resting skeletal muscle has a preference for the oxidation of lipids compared to carbohydrates and a shift towards carbohydrate oxidation is observed with increasing exercise. Lactate is not only an end product in skeletal muscle but also an important meta ...
