Computational design of ligand binding membrane receptors with high selectivity
Accurate modeling and design of protein-ligand interactions have broad applications in cell biology, synthetic biology and drug discovery but remain challenging without experimental protein structures. Here we developed an integrated protein-homology-modeling, ligand-docking protein-design approach that reconstructs protein-ligand binding sites from homolog protein structures in the presence of...
متن کاملGaining ligand selectivity in thyroid hormone receptors via entropy.
Nuclear receptors are important targets for pharmaceuticals, but similarities between family members cause difficulties in obtaining highly selective compounds. Synthetic ligands that are selective for thyroid hormone (TH) receptor beta (TRbeta) vs. TRalpha reduce cholesterol and fat without effects on heart rate; thus, it is important to understand TRbeta-selective binding. Binding of 3 select...
متن کاملPreparation 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 کامل60 YEARS OF POMC: Melanocortin receptors: evolution of ligand selectivity for melanocortin peptides.
The evolution of the melanocortin receptors (MCRs) is linked to the evolution of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), the melanocyte-stimulating hormones (MSHs), and their common precursor pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC). The origin of the MCRs and POMC appears to be grounded in the early radiation of the ancestral protochordates. During the genome duplications that have occurred during the evoluti...
متن کاملTSH-Lutropin/Chorionic Gonadotropin Receptors
We examined the relative effects of thyrotropin (TSH) and TSH receptor autoantibodies in the sera of patients with autoimmune thyroid disease on three TSH-lutropin/chorionic gonadotropin (LH/CG) receptor extracellular domain chimeras. Each chimera binds TSH with high affinity. Only the chimera with TSH receptor extracellular domains ABC (amino acids 1-260) had a functional (cAMP) response to th...
