Journal ArticleDOI

Amyloid beta: structure, biology and structure-based therapeutic development

TL;DR: The structures, biological functions, and neurotoxicity role of Aβ are reviewed, the potential receptors that interact with Aβ and mediate Aβ intake, clearance, and metabolism are discussed, and the therapeutic developments and recent advances of different strategies for treating Alzheimer's disease are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of the transcription factor MEF2C by the MAP kinase p38 in inflammation.

TL;DR: The results show that p38 may influence host defence and inflammation by maintaining the balance of c-Jun protein consumed during infection, and a link between the p38 pathway and a member of the myocyte-enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) group of transcription factors is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure of rhodopsin bound to arrestin by femtosecond X-ray laser

Yanyong Kang, +71 more
- 30 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: The crystal structure of a constitutively active form of human rhodopsin bound to a pre-activated form of the mouse visual arrestin is determined by serial femtosecond X-ray laser crystallography and provides a basis for understanding GPCR-mediated arrestin-biased signalling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural Features for Functional Selectivity at Serotonin Receptors

TL;DR: Biochemical studies showing that the hallucinogen lysergic acid diethylamide, its precursor ergotamine (ERG), and related ergolines display strong functional selectivity for β-arrestin signaling at the 5-HT2B 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor, whereas they are relatively unbiased at the 4-HT1B receptor are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural Basis for Molecular Recognition at Serotonin Receptors

TL;DR: Crystal structures of the human 5-HT1B G protein–coupled receptor bound to the agonist antimigraine medications ergotamine and dihydroergotamine are reported and provide a comprehensive structural basis for understanding receptor-ligand interactions and designing subtype-selective serotonergic drugs.
