Isopeptide and Ester Bond Ubiquitination Regulate Degradation of the Human Dopamine Receptor 4
Jennifer C Peeler
Jan 01, 0001
The human dopamine receptor 4 (hD4R) is a seven-transmembrane helical G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) found in neural synaptic membranes. The neurotransmitter dopamine binds to and activates the hD4R, which is involved in...

Stable Pyrrole-Linked Bioconjugates through Tetrazine-Triggered Azanorbornadiene Fragmentation.
An azanorbornadiene bromovinyl sulfone reagent for cysteine-selective bioconjugation has been developed. Subsequent reaction with dipyridyl tetrazine leads to bond cleavage and formation of a pyrrole-linked conjugate. The latter...

Azabicyclic vinyl sulfones for residue-specific dual protein labelling.
We have developed [2.2.1]azabicyclic vinyl sulfone reagents that simultaneously enable cysteine-selective protein modification and introduce a handle for further bioorthogonal ligation. The reaction is fast and selective for...

The mechanisms of boronate ester formation and fluorescent turn-on in ortho-aminomethylphenylboronic acids
ortho-Aminomethylphenylboronic acids are used in receptors for carbohydrates and various other compounds containing vicinal diols. The presence of the o-aminomethyl group enhances the affinity towards diols at neutral pH, and...

Protein-Truncating Variants at the Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Gene and Risk for Coronary Heart Disease.
RATIONALE: Therapies that inhibit CETP (cholesteryl ester transfer protein) have failed to demonstrate a reduction in risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). Human DNA sequence variants that truncate the CETP gene may provide...

Cross-linker design determines microtubule network organization by opposing motors.
During cell division, cross-linking motors determine the architecture of the spindle, a dynamic microtubule network that segregates the chromosomes in eukaryotes. It is unclear how motors with opposite directionality coordinate...

DDX3X RNA helicase affects breast cancer cell cycle progression by regulating expression of KLF4.
DDX3X is a multifunctional RNA helicase with documented roles in different cancer types. Here, we demonstrate that DDX3X plays an oncogenic role in breast cancer cells by modulating the cell cycle. Depletion of DDX3X in MCF7...

Clamping of DNA shuts the condensin neck gate.
SignificanceDNA needs to be compacted to fit into nuclei and during cell division, when dense chromatids are formed for their mechanical segregation, a process that depends on the protein complex condensin. It forms and enlarges...
