  The GPR55 receptor is also emerging as an important therapeutic target. GPR55−/− mice possess no overt phenotype, but were protected in models of inflammatory and neuropathic pain (Staton et al., 2008). Staton et al. (2008) reported that no GPR55 mRNA could be detected by RT-PCR in the animals. Also

  2021-10-18

  

  Introduction Glycine (Fig. 1; 1) has two pivotal functions as neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS). Firstly, it can act as an inhibitory neurotransmitter at inhibitory glycinergic synapses where it binds to the strychnine-sensitive glycine-A binding site on glycine receptors (GlyR)

  2021-10-18

  

  The occurrence of MDR in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy can be mimicked in the laboratory by culturing cancer muscle metabolism in the presence of chemotherapeutic drugs, thereby enforcing the evolution of acquired drug resistance. This has been described in multiple model systems including

  To test our refinement protocol, we considered a benchmark set of 12 N-linked glycan-containing protein structures determined by X-ray crystallography at resolutions ranging between 1.9 Å and 3.5 Å and comprising a total of 133 glycan units. We identified four incorrect anomeric configurations and 2

  On the basis of their relative Glu transport rates and anion currents, EAATs group into two functionally distinct classes, EAAT1–3 being efficient Glu transporters with small associated macroscopic anion currents and EAAT4–5 low-capacity transporters with predominant anion conductance [18]. The diff

  2021-10-18

  

  Ca2+ influx through glutamate receptors is thought to play a critical role in synaptogenesis and in the formation of neuronal circuitry during early development[45]. Because AMPA receptors might contribute to these processes, particularly at times and in cells in which NMDA receptor expression is

• Bacterial GluRS comes in two flavors

  2021-10-18

  

  Bacterial GluRS comes in two flavors, discriminatory GluRS (D-GluRS) and non-discriminatory GluRS (ND-GluRS). While D-GluRS exclusively catalyses the transfer of Glu to tRNAGlu, the ND-GluRS can also glutamylate tRNAGln forming Glu-tRNAGln. The misacylated product is then transformed to Gln-tRNAGln

  In summary, this study shows that compound 4d has strong clinical potential as an efficient GLP-1/GCGR agonist exhibits weight-lowering, lipid-regulation and diabetes-protective effects and plays an important role in the prevention and therapy of diet induced obesity and dyslipidemia. The present st

  2021-10-18

  

  NMDARs are glutamate-gated ionotropic receptors that are involved in excitatory neurotransmission and plasticity (Traynelis et al., 2010). There have been several reports showing that neurosteroids acting as negative modulators of NMDARs exert neuroprotective activity in both in vitro and in vivo mo

  2021-10-18

  

  FPR family Human FPR was first defined biochemically, in 1976, as a high affinity binding site on the surface of neutrophils for the prototypic N-formyl peptide formyl-methionine-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLF). It was then cloned in 1990, by Boulay et al. from a differentiated HL-60 myeloid leukemia-c

  2021-10-16

  

  Intestinal epithelium renewal is tightly controlled by Hedgehog genes. Three Hedgehog genes are highly conserved in mouse and human, including Sonic hedgehog (Shh), Indian hedgehog (Ihh), and Desert hedgehog (Dhh) [13]. Hedgehogs bind to Patched (PTCH) [[14], [15], [16]], which unlike conventional r

  Of what interest is the link between GSNOR and NO in the plant response to Fe deficiency? On the one hand, NO acts as an important signal to help plants accommodate Fe deficiencies; on the other hand, surplus NO is indeed a harmful RNS that induces severe S-nitrosylation-related damage at a higher s

  Based on these findings, we set out to identify GPR109A agonists capable of biasing the receptor's signaling towards the functional anti-lipolytic and presumed therapeutic response, and away from the flushing side-effect pathways. Indeed, using recombinantly expressed GPR109A, two classes of compoun
