Hyaline Fibromatosis Syndrome inducing mutations in the ectodomain of anthrax toxin receptor 2 can be rescued by proteasome inhibitors

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Julie Deuquet Ariosa, Suzanne Salvi

Hyaline Fibromatosis Syndrome (HIS) is a human genetic disease caused by mutations in the anthrax toxin receptor 2 (or cmg2) gene, which encodes a membrane protein thought to be involved in the homeostasis of the extracellular matrix. Little is known about ...

Polymer-based cell-free expression of ligand-binding family B G-protein coupled receptors without detergents

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of intercellular signaling molecules and are estimated to be the target of more than 50% of all modern drugs. As with most integral membrane proteins (IMPs), a major bottleneck in the struct ...

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 ...

Photoactivatable and photoconvertible fluorescent probes for protein labeling

Kai Johnsson, Thierry Laroche, Sambashiva Banala

Photosensitive probes are powerful tools to study cellular processes with high temporal and spatial resolution. However, most synthetic fluorophores suited for biomolecular imaging have not been converted yet to appropriate photosensitive analogues. Here w ...

American Chemical Society2010

The invention concerns a method for screening compound interaction with transmembrane receptors involved in cellular signal transduction, preferably with G protein coupled receptors, by adding the compound to be analyzed into a medium comprising native inv ...

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 ...

Micro- and nanostructured devices for investigating biomolecular interactions

Jürgen Brugger, Horst Vogel, Christian Santschi, Christophe Danelon, Jean-Baptiste Perez

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 ...

2006

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) constitute by far the largest family of transmembrane cell-surface proteins involved in signal transduction and are the most important targets for the development of novel therapeutic compounds. Many processes mediated by ...

Functional characterization of a human odorant receptor

Valérie Jacquier

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 ...
