KRAS mutations are the most common genetic abnormalities in cancer, but distribution of specific across cancers and differential responses patients with therapeutic clinical trials suggest that different have unique biochemical behaviors. To further explain these high-level differences to explore potential strategies for isoforms, we characterized mutants biochemically substrate binding kinetics, intrinsic GTPase-activating protein (GAP)-stimulated GTPase activities, interactions RAS...

Small neurons of the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) are known to play an important role in nociceptive mechanisms. These express two types sodium current, which differ their inactivation kinetics and sensitivity tetrodotoxin. Here, we report cloning α-subunit a novel, voltage-gated channel (PN3) from rat DRG. Functional expression Xenopus oocytes showed that PN3 is with depolarized activation potential, slow kinetics, resistance high concentrations In situ hybridization DRG indicated expressed...
Neuropathic pain is a debilitating chronic syndrome that often arises from injuries to peripheral nerves. Such has been hypothesized be the result of an aberrant expression and function sodium channels at site injury. Here, we show intrathecal administration specific antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) tetrodotoxin (TTX)-resistant channel, NaV1.8, resulted in time-dependent uptake ODN by dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, selective "knock-down" reduction slow-inactivating, TTX-resistant...
Abstract We report the synthesis of a GDP analogue, SML‐8‐73‐1, and prodrug derivative, SML‐10‐70‐1, which are selective, direct‐acting covalent inhibitors K‐Ras G12C mutant relative to wild‐type Ras. Biochemical biophysical measurements suggest that modification with SML‐8‐73‐1 renders protein in an inactive state. These first‐in‐class demonstrate irreversible targeting guanine‐nucleotide binding site is potentially viable therapeutic strategy for inhibition Ras signaling.
Significance SML-8-73-1 (SML) is the first example, to our knowledge, of a GTP-competitive inhibitor V-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (K-Ras). A high-resolution structure K-Ras G12C bound SML shows in an inactive conformation. In situ proteomic-based chemical profiling demonstrates that highly selective for over other small GTPases. novel chemosensor-based assay allows measurement covalent reaction rates between and enables characterization this context millimolar...
The novel sodium channel PN3/α-SNS, which was cloned from a rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cDNA library, is expressed predominantly in small sensory neurons and may contribute to the tetrodotoxin-resistant (TTX R ) current that believed be associated with central sensitization chronic neuropathic pain states. To assess further role of PN3, we have used electrophysiological, situ hybridization immunohistochemical methods monitor changes TTX distribution PN3 normal peripheral nerve-injured...

The role of alpha2-adrenoceptor (AR) subtypes in the modulation acute nociception, motor behaviour and body temperature, has been investigated by determining activity alpha2AR selective agonist dexmedetomidine (Dex) mice devoid individual through either a point (alpha2A) or null (alpha2B/alpha2C) mutation ('knock-out'). 2. In rodent model thermal mouse tail immersion test, Dex, wild type (WT) control animals, produced dose-dependent increase threshold for withdrawal from 52 degrees C...
