From Sequence to Dynamics to Function: Computational Design of Allostery and Ligand Selectivity in G-Protein Coupled Receptors

The phenomenon of allostery, a general property in proteins that has been heralded as "the second secret of life" remains elusive to our understanding and even more challenging to incorporate into protein design. One example of allosteric proteins with gre ...

Targeting TDP-43 Proteinopathies in Neurodegeneration by its Native-State Stabilization.

Lixin Yang

Preventing the misfolding or aggregation of TDP-43 is the most actively pursued disease-modifying strategy to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other neurodegenerative diseases. In our work, we provide proof of concept that native state stabili ...

Computational rewiring of allosteric pathways reprograms GPCR selective responses to ligands

Patrick Daniel Barth, Mahdi Hijazi, Aurélien Laurent Jean-Charles Oggier, Dániel Kéri

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest class of cell surface receptors and drug targets, and respond to a wide variety of chemical stimuli to activate diverse cellular functions. Understanding and predicting how ligand binding triggers a speci ...

Mechanistic Understanding of Neurobehavioral Effects of Insecticides on the Larvae of Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Sarah-Katharina Könemann

Due to conservation of neuronal functioning across phyla, molecular targets of insecticides are similar in insects and vertebrates. Insecticides thus pose a risk to aquatic vertebrates,such as fish, and potentially cause neurotoxic effects. Although these ...

Allosteric modulators enhance agonist efficacy by increasing the residence time of a GPCR in the active state

Anne-Marinette Thi Phuong Hanh Cao

Here, the authors use smFRET to assess the structural dynamics of metabotropic glutamate receptor mGlu2 and show that a positive allosteric modulator or the Gi protein stabilize mGlu2 in the glutamate-induced active state, leading to the full activation of ...

Reprogramming G Protein-Coupled Receptor Structure, Function And Signaling By Computational Design

Dániel Kéri

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are 7-transmembrane alpha-helical integral membrane proteins on which cells heavily rely to receive information regarding their external environment. These receptors are able to transfer information to intracellular down ...

Interfacial Water Many-Body Effects Drive Structural Dynamics and Allosteric Interactions in SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease Dimerization Interface

Frédéric Célerse, Théo Pierre Jaffrelot Inizan

Following our previous work (Chem. Sci. 2021, 12, 4889-4907), we study the structural dynamics of the SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease dimerization interface (apo dimer) by means of microsecond adaptive sampling molecular dynamics simulations (50 mu s) using the A ...
