The β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) has been a model system for understanding regulatory mechanisms of G-protein-coupled (GPCR) actions and plays significant role in cardiovascular pulmonary diseases. Because all known β-adrenergic drugs target the orthosteric binding site receptor, we set out to isolate allosteric ligands this by panning DNA-encoded small-molecule libraries comprising 190 million distinct compounds against purified human β2AR. Here, report discovery negative modulator...

Significance β-Arrestin regulates G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling by interacting with two regions of agonist-activated receptors—the phosphorylated C terminus and the seven transmembrane helix bundle. The phosphorylation pattern on GPCRs is thought to be primary driver β-arrestin binding affinity functional consequences. To more effectively delineate relative contributions these interactions, we present an innovative strategy homogeneously phosphorylate purified GPCRs—enzymatic...

A mutant GPCR exhibits G protein–biased signaling because of defective phosphorylation by GRK, not an inability to bind β-arrestin.

Abstract Glycogen Storage Disease 1a (GSD1a) is a rare, inherited metabolic disorder caused by deficiency of glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase-α). G6Pase-α critical for maintaining interprandial euglycemia. GSD1a patients exhibit life-threatening hypoglycemia and long-term liver complications including hepatocellular adenomas (HCAs) carcinomas (HCCs). There no treatment the current standard-of-care managing (Glycosade ® /modified cornstarch) fails to prevent HCA/HCC risk. Therapeutic modalities...

TPS3175 Background: The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is a frequently activated oncogenic and well-described driver of many cancers. FOG-001 designed to be first-in-class direct inhibitor β-catenin that blocks β-catenin’s interaction with the T-cell factor (TCF) family transcription factors. Preclinical studies have indicated can cause tumor growth inhibition regression by disrupting β-catenin-dependent signaling. unique from previously reported modulators as it directly inhibit TCF interaction,...

Mussels attach to virtually all types of inorganic and organic surfaces in aqueous environments, catecholamines composed 3,4-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine (DOPA), lysine, histidine mussel adhesive proteins play a key role the robust adhesion. DOPA is an unusual catecholic amino acid, its side chain called catechol. In this study, we displayed moiety DOPA-histidine on Escherichia coli using outer membrane protein W as anchoring motif for first time. Localization cell surface was confirmed by...

A total of 1921 Escherichia coli isolated from healthy animals (501 cattle, 832 pigs, and 588 chickens) 237 isolates diseased pigs were tested to determine the prevalence apramycin gentamicin resistance in Korea during 2004–2007. Apramycin/gentamicin resistances observed chicken 0.2%/0.6%, 11.2%/13.6%, 0.5%/18.2%, respectively. Gentamicin/apramycin was much higher E. (71/237, 30.0%) than those (93/832, 11.2%). The aminoglycoside gene content all apramycin-gentamicin-resistant (n = 164)...

Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a rare, inherited, metabolic disorder characterized by dysfunction of the multi-subunit, mitochondrial enzyme complex branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKDH). BCKDH catalyzes oxidative decarboxylation amino acids (BCAAs). BCAAs and their neurotoxic intermediates can accumulate in blood tissues absence functional BCKDH. We evaluated lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based treatment approach to address all possible genetic mutations that cause MSUD...

Abstract Wnt signaling pathway mutations leading to constitutive activation of the driver oncogene β-catenin occur in at least 20% all human cancers, but itself has remained undruggable by traditional modalities. In order inhibit activity β-catenin, we have developed conformationally hyperstabilized α-helical peptides (Helicons) that are cellularly permeable and bind directly block its interaction with TCF family transcription factors. Starting a helical peptide derived from phage display,...
