Time-resolved FRET strategy to screen GPCR ligand library.
Screening chemical libraries to find specific drugs for G protein-coupled receptors is still of major interest. Indeed, because of their major roles in all physiological functions, G protein-coupled receptors remain major targets for drug development programs. Currently, interest in GPCRs as drug targets has been boosted by the discovery of biased ligands, thus allowing the development of drugs...
متن کاملConformational Ensembles in GPCR Activation
Recent advances in G-protein-coupled receptor structural biology have provided only limited insight into the active conformations of these key signaling molecules. A paper from Nygaard et al. reveals the dynamic nature of GPCRs along the activation pathway by complementing NMR experiments with ultralong-timescale molecular dynamics simulations.
متن کاملCholesterol-dependent Conformational Plasticity in GPCR Dimers
The organization and function of the serotonin1A receptor, an important member of the GPCR family, have been shown to be cholesterol-dependent, although the molecular mechanism is not clear. We performed a comprehensive structural and dynamic analysis of dimerization of the serotonin1A receptor by coarse-grain molecular dynamics simulations totaling 3.6 ms to explore the molecular details of it...
متن کاملConformational Analysis of DNA Repair Intermediates by Time-Resolved Fluorescence Spectroscopy
DNA repair enzymes are essential for maintaining the integrity of the DNA sequence. Unfortunately, very little is known about how these enzymes recognize damaged regions along the helix. Structural analysis of cellular repair enzymes bound to DNA reveals that these enzymes are able to recognize DNA in a variety of conformations. However, the prevalence of these deformations in the absence of en...
متن کاملStructural Aspects of GPCR-G Protein Coupling
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are membrane receptors; approximately 40% of drugs on the market target GPCRs. A precise understanding of the activation mechanism of GPCRs would facilitate the development of more effective and less toxic drugs. Heterotrimeric G proteins are important molecular switches in GPCR-mediated signal transduction. An agonist-activated receptor interacts with specif...
