Mashup Score: 4UB-MBX-46 is a potent and selective antagonist of the human P2X7 receptor developed by structure-based drug design - 26 day(s) ago
The P2X7 receptor is an ATP-gated ion channel that activates inflammatory pathways involved in diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, and neurodegeneration. However, despite the potential benefits of blocking overactive signaling, no P2X7 receptor antagonists have been approved for clinical use. Interspecies variation among existing antagonists has proven challenging, in part due to the dearth of molecular information on different receptor orthologs. Here, to identify distinct molecular features in the human receptor, we determine high-resolution cryo-EM structures of the full-length wild-type human P2X7 receptor in apo closed and ATP-bound open state conformations and draw comparisons with new and existing structures of other orthologs. We also report a cryo-EM structure of the human receptor in complex with an adamantane-based inhibitor, which we leverage, in conjunction with functional data and molecular dynamics simulations, to design a potent and selective antagonist with a uni

Mashup Score: 5The Critical Role of the Variable Domain in Driving Proteotoxicity and Aggregation in Full-length Light Chains - PubMed - 1 month(s) ago
Light chain (AL) amyloidosis is the most common systemic amyloid disease characterized by abnormal accumulation of amyloid fibrils derived from immunoglobulin light chains (LCs). Both full-length (FL) LCs and their isolated variable (VL) and constant (CL) domains contribute to amyloid deposits in mu …

Mashup Score: 29
BACKGROUND: Distinguishing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) from other cardiomyopathies with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), such as hypertensive LVH, transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy, and aortic stenosis, is sometimes challenging. Using plasma proteomics profiling, we aimed to identify circulating biomarkers and dysregulated signaling pathways specific to HCM. METHODS: In this multicenter case-control study, plasma proteomics profiling was performed in cases with HCM and controls with hypertensive LVH, transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy, and aortic stenosis. Two-thirds of patients enrolled earlier in each disease group were defined as the training set and the remaining one-third as the test set. Protein concentrations in HCM were compared with those in hypertensive LVH (comparison 1), transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (comparison 2), and aortic stenosis (comparison 3). Candidate proteins that meet the following 2 criteria were selected: (1) higher abundance in HCM throug
