Preparation of a Photoactivable Ligand for Bradykinin Receptors
ABSTRACT Most of physiological effects of bradykinin is due to its effect on bradykinin B2 receptors. There is no reports of preparation of a photoactivatable analogue of bradykinin reactive with sloubilized bradykinin B2 recpetors. Photoactivatable radioactive ligands are powerful tools in purification of receptors. In this study we report preparation of a photoactivatable iodinatable analo...
متن کاملLigand-Induced Dynamics of Neurotrophin Receptors Investigated by Single-Molecule Imaging Approaches
Neurotrophins are secreted proteins that regulate neuronal development and survival, as well as maintenance and plasticity of the adult nervous system. The biological activity of neurotrophins stems from their binding to two membrane receptor types, the tropomyosin receptor kinase and the p75 neurotrophin receptors (NRs). The intracellular signalling cascades thereby activated have been extensi...
متن کاملEvolution of vertebrate steroid receptors from an ancestral estrogen receptor by ligand exploitation and serial genome expansions.
The evolution of novelty in tightly integrated biological systems, such as hormones and their receptors, seems to challenge the theory of natural selection: it has not been clear how a new function for any one part (such as a ligand) can be selected for unless the other members of the system (e.g., a receptor) are already present. Here I show-based on identification and phylogenetic analysis of...
متن کاملTrk receptors: mediators of neurotrophin action.
The four mammalian neurotrophins - NGF, BDNF, NT-3 and NT-4 - each bind and activate one or more of the Trk family of receptor tyrosine kinases. Through these receptors, neurotrophins activate many intracellular signaling pathways, including those controlled by Ras, the Cdc42/Rac/RhoG protein family, MAPK, PI3K and PLC-gamma, thereby affecting both development and function of the nervous system...
