Synthetic RORγ agonists regulate multiple pathways to enhance antitumor immunity
RORγt is the key transcription factor controlling the development and function of CD4+ Th17 and CD8+ Tc17 cells. Across a range of human tumors, about 15% of the CD4+ T cell fraction in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes are RORγ+ cells. To evaluate the role of RORγ in antitumor immunity, we have identified synthetic, small molecule agonists that selectively activate RORγ to a greater extent than t...
متن کاملHigh-resolution HDX-MS reveals distinct mechanisms of RNA recognition and activation by RIG-I and MDA5
RIG-I and MDA5 are the major intracellular immune receptors that recognize viral RNA species and undergo a series of conformational transitions leading to the activation of the interferon-mediated antiviral response. However, to date, full-length RLRs have resisted crystallographic efforts and a molecular description of their activation pathways remains hypothetical. Here we employ hydrogen/deu...
متن کاملConformational Characterization of Calmodulin by Hydrogen Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry (HDX MS)
IN T RO DU C T IO N Correct protein conformation is essential for proper biological function of protein therapeutics. Changes in protein conformation are a major concern in the biopharmaceutical industry and conformational characterization is a difficult task. Many analytical tools such as circular dichroism (CD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC)...
متن کاملCharacterizing synthetic polymers by MALDI MS.
Different polymer formulations possess unique chemical, physical, and mechanical properties. Small variations in the structure of a given polymer formulation can significantly change its characteristics, resulting in new functions and applications. For example, polyvinyl alcohol is a water-soluble synthetic polymer made by alcoholysis of polyvinyl acetate. Its chemical and physical properties d...
متن کاملDesigned protein reveals structural determinants of extreme kinetic stability.
The design of stable, functional proteins is difficult. Improved design requires a deeper knowledge of the molecular basis for design outcomes and properties. We previously used a bioinformatics and energy function method to design a symmetric superfold protein composed of repeating structural elements with multivalent carbohydrate-binding function, called ThreeFoil. This and similar methods ha...
