Abstract The human trace amine-associated receptor 1 (hTAAR1, hTA1) is a key regulator of monoaminergic neurotransmission and the actions psychostimulants. Despite preclinical research demonstrating its tractability as drug target, molecular mechanisms activation remain unclear. Moreover, poorly understood pharmacological differences between rodent TA1 complicate translation findings from disease models into novel pharmacotherapies. To elucidate hTA1’s on scale investigate underpinnings...
The strength of synaptic connections varies significantly and is a key determinant communication within neural circuits. Mechanistic insight into presynaptic factors that establish modulate neurotransmitter release properties crucial to understanding synapse strength, circuit function, plasticity. We previously identified Drosophila Piccolo-RIM-related Fife, which regulates neurotransmission motor behavior through an unknown mechanism. Here, we demonstrate Fife localizes interacts with RIM...
Abstract Anion Exchanger 1 (AE1, SLC4A1) is the primary bicarbonate (HCO 3 - ) transporter expressed in erythrocyte membranes where it mediates transport of CO 2 between lungs and other tissues via import/export bicarbonate. It also a key regulator structure antigenic recognition. Previous biochemical studies, low-resolution crystal transmembrane domain have provided initial insight into AE1 function. However, questions remain regarding substrate binding as well mechanism inhibition. The...
Serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] acts via 13 different receptors in humans. Of these receptor subtypes, all but 5-HT 1e R have confirmed roles native tissue and are validated drug targets. Despite R’s therapeutic potential plausible druggability, the mechanisms of its activation remain elusive. To illuminate pharmacology relation to highly homologous 1F R, we screened a library aminergic ligands at both observe R/5-HT agonism by multicyclic drugs described as pan-antagonists receptors....
