Sequential stages in the life cycle of the ionotropic 5-HT3 receptor (5-HT3R) were resolved temporally and spatially in live cells by multicolor fluorescence confocal microscopy. The insertion of the enhanced cyan fluorescent protein into the large intrace ...
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a large class of seven transmembrane proteins, which bind selectively agonists or antagonists with important consequences for cellular signaling and function. Comprehension of the mol. details of ligand bindin ...
Classically, cellular signalling is investigated measuring different optical or elec. properties of either single cells or microliter vols. of suspensions of live cells. Here we show how ligand binding to cell surface receptors and subsequent signalling re ...
A symposium report. Since the discovery of the immunosuppressive activity of cyclosporine A (CsA), considerable work has been devoted to the chem. synthesis of potent analogs. More recently, the finding of potential anti-HIV I activity of CsA raised intere ...
The ability of organisms, or individual cells, to react to external chemical signals, which are detected and transduced by cell-surface receptors, is crucial for their survival. These receptors are the targets of the majority of clinically used medicines. ...
The pore-forming toxin aerolysin is secreted by Aeromonas hydrophila as an inactive precursor. Based on chemical cross-linking and gel filtration, we show here that proaerolysin exists as a monomer at low concentrations but is dimeric above 0.1 mg/ml. At i ...
During the past few years, identification of cytokine receptors has become a major goal in cytokine research. A great deal has been learned from the plethora of receptor structures that have been elucidated recently. Although, evidently, the complexity of ...
Two related human alpha interferons with 83% homology in their primary sequences show a similar specific activity on nonhuman cells, but a striking difference on human cells, on which alpha-1 shows 1-5% of the specific molar activity displayed by alpha-2. ...
Seven different human interferon (IFN) alpha subtypes were compared with regard to competitive inhibition of specific high-affinity binding of 125I-labeled IFN alpha-2 to human and bovine cells. All IFNs tested (alpha-1, -2, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8) competed fo ...
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor from Torpedo was immobilised in tethered membranes. Surface plasmon resonance was used to quantify the binding of ligands and antibodies to the receptor. The orientation and structural integrity of the surface-reconstit ...
