摘要:Cell-specific regulation of endogenous G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is crucial for understanding their roles in physiological processes. We present chemogenetic tools using shield-1-dependent irreversible protein switches to regulate peptide agonist activity. To demonstrate this platform, we engineered chemogenetically regulated pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (cPACAP), which exhibited >15-fold chemical-dependent regulation of endogenous receptor activity. In vivo app...

摘要:Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), the most common complication of diabetes, lacks effective treatments and is characterized by early axonal degeneration mediated by sterile alpha and Toll/interleukin receptor motif-containing protein 1 (SARM1). Here, we identify a regulatory mechanism of SARM1's NAD+-cleaving activity via acetylation at lysine 641 (K641). In high-glucose conditions, SIRT3 deacetylates SARM1 at K641, enhancing its NAD+ cleavage activity and exacerbating axonal damage. In ty...

摘要:Organic single crystals endowed with intrinsic anisotropy hold great promise for the realization of miniaturized, polarization-sensitive photodetectors. However, conventional dip-coating approaches struggle to produce wafer-scale single-crystalline films, as the supersaturation conditions optimized for nucleation invariably conflict with those required for crystal growth, leading to fragmented domains and compromised device performance. Here, we introduce an in situ seeded dip coating (SDC) st...

摘要:CatSper serves as the primary Ca2+ entry pathway in the principal piece of sperm flagellum and is crucial for sperm motility and fertility. Sperm lacking functional CatSper channels fail to undergo hyperactivation during fertilization, leading to complete male infertility. Along the longitudinal axis of the sperm flagellum, staggered CatSper complexes align in a hand-in-hand arrangement, forming a distinctive quadrilinear zigzag arrays known as CatSper nanodomains. However, the molecular detai...

摘要:J--domain protein (JDP) chaperones function widely in proteostasis. Notably, eukaryotic class B JDPs of the cytosol/nucleus prevent assembly or drive disassembly of amyloid aggregates known to cause neurodegenerative diseases, yet their evolutionary origin is not known. Members of the most ubiquitous class B subgroup, canonical B (BC) JDPs, lack the signature zinc finger domain (ZnF) of the more prevalent class A JDPs, while having other key features in common. Our phylogenetic analysis reveal...

摘要:Tissue engineering strategies predominantly consist of the autologous generation living substitutes capable of restoring damaged body parts. Persisting challenges with patient-specific approaches include inconsistent performance, high costs, and delayed graft availability. Toward developing a one-for-all solution, a more attractive paradigm lies in the exploitation of dedicated cell lines for the fabrication of human tissue grafts. Following decellularization, this new class of biomaterials re...

摘要:VcINDY, the sodium-dependent dicarboxylate transporter from Vibrio cholerae, is responsible for C4-carboxylate uptake into cells. The molecular mechanism of how VcINDY physically moves substrates across the membrane, and does so in an energetically efficient manner, is unclear. Here, we use single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer experiments to directly observe the individual mechanistic steps that VcINDY takes to translocate substrates across a lipid bilayer, and then test key ...
