Neuronal Depolarization Drives Increased Dopamine Synaptic Vesicle Loading via VGLUT

The ability of presynaptic dopamine terminals to tune neurotransmitter release to meet the demands of neuronal activity is critical to neurotransmission. Although vesicle content has been assumed to be static, in vitro data increasingly suggest that cell a ...

Multi-system neurorehabilitative strategies to restore motor functions following severe spinal cord injury

Grégoire Courtine, Pavel Musienko, Rubia van den Brand, Lucia Florinda Friedli Wittler

Severe spinal cord injury (SCI) permanently abolishes motor functions caudal to the lesion. However, the neuronal machinery sufficient to produce standing and stepping is located below most SCI, and can be reactivated with training. Therefore, why do rats ...

A conserved protonation-induced switch can trigger "ionic lock" formation in adrenergic receptors

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Marilisa Neri, Stefano Vanni

The mechanism of signal transduction in G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is a crucial step in cell signaling. However, the molecular details of this process are still largely undetermined. Carrying out submicrosecond molecular dynamics simulations of be ...

Serotonin receptor diversity in the human colon: Expression of serotonin type 3 receptor subunits 5-HT3C, 5-HT3D, and 5-HT3E

Rudolf Hovius

Since the first description of 5-HT3 receptors more than 50 years ago, there has been speculation about the molecular basis of their receptor heterogeneity. We have cloned the genes encoding novel 5-HT3 subunits 5-HT3C, 5-HT3D, and 5-HT3E and have shown th ...

Potentiometric platform for the quantification of cellular potassium efflux

Nico de Rooij

Renewed interest in the measurement of cellular K+ effluxes has been prompted by the observation that potassium plays an active and important role in numerous key cellular events, in particular cell necrosis and apoptosis. Although necrosis and apoptosis f ...

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 ...

Bile acids induce energy expenditure by promoting intracellular thyroid hormone activation

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Chikage Mataki

While bile acids (BAs) have long been known to be essential in dietary lipid absorption and cholesterol catabolism, in recent years an important role for BAs as signalling molecules has emerged. BAs activate mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways, are l ...

Syntheses and glycosidase inhibitory activities of 2-(aminomethyl)-5(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine-3,4-diol derivatives

Pierre Vogel, Sandrine Gerber

New 2-(aminomethyl)-5-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine-3,4-diol derivatives were synthesized from (5S)-5-[(trityloxy)methyl]pyrrolidin-2-one (6) (Schemes 1 and 2) and their inhibitory activities toward 25 glycosidases assayed (Table). The influence of the config ...

The complex between hydrogenase-maturation proteins HypC and HypD is an intermediate in the supply of cyanide to the active site iron of [NiFe]-hydrogenases

Melanie Blokesch

Carbamoylphosphate has been shown to be the educt for the synthesis of the CN ligands of the NiFe metal centre of hydrogenases from Escherichia coli. In the absence of carbamoylphosphate, cells accumulate a complex of two hydrogenase maturation proteins, n ...

Ligand binding to the serotonin 5HT3 receptor studied with a novel fluorescent ligand

Horst Vogel, Rudolf Hovius, Horst Pick, Alain Bernard

The thermodn. and kinetics of ligand binding to the purified serotonin 5HT3 receptor and the local environment of the bound ligand were studied by fluorescence spectroscopy using a novel fluorescein-labeled ligand GR-flu [1,2,3,9-tetrahydro-3-[(5-methyl-1H ...
