Exosome-inspired targeting of cancer cells with enhanced affinity

Mohammad Mahdi Hasani-Sadrabadi, Hasan Pezeshgi Modarres, Ardalan Hosseini

One of the major challenges in the area of novel drug delivery systems (NDDSs) is finding distinguished ligands for specific receptors represented by many cancer cells in order to enhance their cancer homing efficacy. Exosomes, the so-called natural nanoca ...

The Mechanism of Ligand-Induced Activation or Inhibition of - and -Opioid Receptors

Horst Vogel, Shuguang Yuan

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are important targets for treating severe diseases. However why certain molecules act as activators whereas others, with similar structures, block GPCR activation, is poorly understood since the same molecule can activat ...

Single-Molecule Imaging Deciphers the Relation between Mobility and Signaling of a Prototypical G Protein-Coupled Receptor in Living Cells

Horst Vogel, Joachim Piguet, Luc Veya

Lateral diffusion enables efficient interactions between membrane proteins leading to signal transmission across the plasma membrane. An open question is how the spatio-temporal distribution of cell surface receptors influences the transmembrane signaling ...

Channel-Mediated Lactate Release by K+-Stimulated Astrocytes

Patrick Aebischer, Sylvain Eric Lengacher, Pierre Magistretti, Bernard Schneider

Excitatory synaptic transmission is accompanied by a local surge in interstitial lactate that occurs despite adequate oxygen availability, a puzzling phenomenon termed aerobic glycolysis. In addition to its role as an energy substrate, recent studies have ...

Revealing GPCR oligomerization at the single-molecule level through a nanoscopic lens: methods, dynamics and biological function

Aleksandra Radenovic, Paolo Annibale, Marco Scarselli

The introduction of super-resolution fluorescence microscopy has allowed the visualization of single proteins in their biological environment. Recently, these techniques have been applied to determine the organization of class A G-protein-coupled receptors ...

Unraveling the Physiological Role of Capillary Morphogenesis Gene 2 in Health and Disease

Jérôme Bürgi

Capillary Morphogenesis Gene 2 (CMG2) is a 55kDa single-pass transmembrane protein best described as the main Anthrax Toxin Receptor. However, CMG2 physiological role remains elusive and understanding better its in vivo function was the main objective of m ...

Exchanging ligand-binding specificity between a pair of mouse olfactory receptor paralogs reveals odorant recognition principles

Horst Vogel, Horst Pick, Olivia Baud, Luc Veya, Shuguang Yuan

A multi-gene family of ~1000 G protein-coupled olfactory receptors (ORs) constitutes the molecular basis of mammalian olfaction. Due to the lack of structural data its remarkable capacity to detect and discriminate thousands of odorants remains poorly unde ...

X-ray and Cryo-electron Microscopy Structures of Monalysin Pore-forming Toxin Reveal Multimerization of the Pro-form

Bruno Lemaitre, Onya Opota

beta-Barrel pore-forming toxins (beta-PFT), a large family of bacterial toxins, are generally secreted as water-soluble monomers and can form oligomeric pores in membranes following proteolytic cleavage and interaction with cell surface receptors. Monalysi ...
