Olfactory receptors (ORs) constitute the largest family of sensory membrane proteins in mammals. They play a key role within the olfactory system in recognizing and discriminating a nearly unlimited number of structurally diverse odorous molecules. The mol ...

To maintain appropriate body iron levels, iron absorption by the proximal duodenum is thought to be controlled by hepcidin, a polypeptide secreted by hepatocytes in response to high serum iron. Hepcidin limits basolateral iron efflux from the duodenal epit ...

Advanced Fluorescence Microscopy to Study Plasma Membrane Protein Dynamics

Joachim Piguet

Membrane protein dynamics is of great importance for living organisms. The precise localization of proteins composing a synapse on the membrane facing a nerve terminus is essential for proper functioning of the nervous system. In muscle fibers, the nicotin ...

Iron is a transitional metal required by virtually all organisms as a dietary micromineral, indispensable for cellular survival and proliferation. The management of iron absorption and distribution in the organism and inside the cell must be tightly regula ...

Ferritin plays a central role in iron metabolism by acting both as iron storage and detoxifying protein. We have generated a ferritin H allele with loxP sites and studied the conditional ferritin H deletion in adult mice. Ten days after Mx-Cre induced dele ...

How iron controls iron

Lukas Kühn

Cells regulate iron homeostasis by posttranscriptional regulation of proteins responsible for iron uptake and storage. This requires RNA-binding activity of iron-regulatory proteins, IRP1 and IRP2. Two studies recently published in Science by Vashisht et a ...

Miniaturized bioanalytics to probe the function of membrane proteins

Pedro Pascoal

G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most abundant class of proteins in the cell body. Such receptors are of major interest as potential therapeutic targets. Downscaling and parallelization of bioanalytics opens novel routes to rapidly screen and id ...

KP1019, a new redox-active anticancer agent - preclinical development and results of a clinical phase I study in tumor patients

Paul Joseph Dyson, Christian Hartinger, Michael Groessl

A review. The promising drug candidate indazolium trans-[tetrachlorobis(1H-indazole)ruthenate(III)] (KP1019) is the second Ru-based anticancer agent to enter clin. trials. In this review, which is an update of a paper from 2006, the exptl. evidence for the ...

Cell membrane receptors and ion channels are essential in many different cellular processes. To analyse the activity of membrane proteins in vesicles and biological cells, we fabricated micro- nanostructured chips, enabling the application of electrophysio ...

Olfaction appears to be mediated by a large family of odorant receptors (ORs) that accounts for ~ 1% of the human genome [1–4]. The functional characterization of these receptors has so far been hindered by their poor functional expression in the plasma me ...
