Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide CRISPR screen identifies TMEM41B as a gene required for autophagosome formation.

TL;DR: Results suggest that TMEM41B and VMP1 function together at an early step of autophagosome formation, and overexpression of V MP1 restored autophagic flux in TMEM 41B-KO cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

X-ray structures of endothelin ETB receptor bound to clinical antagonist bosentan and its analog

TL;DR: Crystal structures of human endothelin ETB receptor bound to bosentan and to the ETB-selective analog K-8794 reveal the detailed water-mediated hydrogen-bonding network at the transmembrane core and reveal detailed interactions with ETB, which is probably conserved in the ETA receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structures of human ET B receptor provide mechanistic insight into receptor activation and partial activation

TL;DR: The current findings clarify the detailed molecular mechanism for the coupling between the orthosteric pocket and the G-protein binding, and the partial agonistic effect of IRL1620, thus paving the way for the design of improved agonistic drugs targeting ETB.
