Structural and mechanistic insights into cGMP signaling
Background The second messenger cGMP plays a central role in regulating bodily functions, e.g. in the cardiovascular and nervous systems. cGMP is formed by guanylyl cyclases (GC), activates target proteins, and is finally hydrolyzed by cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDE). PDEs and GCs are widely used as drug targets, spurring interest in mechanistic and structural insights into their reg...
متن کاملInsights into structural variations and genome rearrangements in prokaryotic genomes
Structural variations (SVs) are genomic rearrangements that affect fairly large fragments of DNA. Most of the SVs such as inversions, deletions and translocations have been largely studied in context of genetic diseases in eukaryotes. However, recent studies demonstrate that genome rearrangements can also have profound impact on prokaryotic genomes, leading to altered cell phenotype. In contras...
متن کاملOpioid receptors: Structural and mechanistic insights into pharmacology and signaling.
Opioid receptors are important drug targets for pain management, addiction, and mood disorders. Although substantial research on these important subtypes of G protein-coupled receptors has been conducted over the past two decades to discover ligands with higher specificity and diminished side effects, currently used opioid therapeutics remain suboptimal. Luckily, recent advances in structural b...
متن کاملStructural and mechanistic insights into LEOPARD syndrome-associated SHP2 mutations.
SHP2 is an allosteric phosphatase essential for growth factor-mediated Ras activation. Germ-line mutations in SHP2 cause clinically similar LEOPARD and Noonan syndromes, two of several autosomal-dominant conditions characterized by gain-of-function mutations in the Ras pathway. Interestingly, Noonan syndrome SHP2 mutants are constitutively active, whereas LEOPARD syndrome SHP2 mutants exhibit r...
متن کاملStructural and mechanistic insights into Mps1 kinase activation
Mps1 is one of the several essential kinases whose activation is required for robust mitotic spindle checkpoint signalling. The activity of Mps1 is tightly regulated and increases dramatically during mitosis or in response to spindle damage. To understand the molecular mechanism underlying Mps1 regulation, we determined the crystal structure of the kinase domain of Mps1. The 2.7-A-resolution cr...
