Title: Vestibular modulation by stimulant derivatives in a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel.
Authors: Emelia Karlsson / Olivia Andén / Chen Fan / Zaineb Fourati / Ahmed Haouz / Yuxuan Zhuang / Rebecca J Howard / Marc Delarue / Erik Lindahl /

Abstract: BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Allosteric modulation of pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) are critical for the action of neurotransmitters and many psychoactive drugs. However, details of their ...
EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: We have characterised the effects of psychostimulant derivatives on sTeLIC using two-electrode voltage-clamp electrophysiology in the presence and absence of engineered ...
KEY RESULTS: We have shown that sTeLIC is sensitive to potentiation by several amphiphilic compounds, which preferentially bind to a vestibular pocket in the contracted open-state extracellular domain.
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: This work provides a detailed structure-function mechanism for allosteric potentiation via a noncanonical ligand site, with potential conservation of the eukaryotic ...

Thousand views of thousand structures

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
