Monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine are loaded by vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) into synaptic vesicles for storage subsequent release in neurons. Impaired VMAT2 function underlies various neuropsychiatric diseases. inhibitors reserpine tetrabenazine used to treat hypertension, movement disorders associated with Huntington's Disease Tardive Dyskinesia. Despite its physiological pharmacological significance, the structural basis underlying substrate...

Abstract The secretion and quality control of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) necessitates post-attachment remodeling initiated by the evolutionarily conserved PGAP1, which deacylates inositol in nascent GPI-APs. Impairment PGAP1 activity leads to developmental diseases humans fatality infertility animals. Here, we present three structures (2.66−2.84 Å), revealing its 10-transmembrane architecture product-enzyme interaction details. holds GPI-AP acyl chains an...

Thiamine and pyridoxine are essential B vitamins that serve as enzymatic cofactors in energy metabolism, protein nucleic acid biosynthesis, neurotransmitter production. In humans, thiamine transporters SLC19A2 SLC19A3 primarily regulate cellular uptake of both vitamins. Genetic mutations these transporters, which cause deficiency, have been implicated severe neurometabolic diseases. Additionally, various prescribed medicines, including metformin fedratinib, manipulate complicating the...

Background: Positive circulating EBV-DNA is associated with a very poor outcome in Natural killer/T cell lymphoma (NKTCL). Efforts to further improve treatment of plasma EBV positive NKTCL are urgently needed. Aims: To investigate the clinical efficacy, load and safety P-GEMOXD combined anti-programmed death 1 (anti-PD-1) antibody Tislelizumab first-line NKTCL. Methods: In this prospective, single-arm, phase 2 trial, we recruited patients aged 18–70 years newly diagnosed who were Henan...
