Structural basis for the ligand-dependent activation of heterodimeric AHR-ARNT complex by Xiaotong Diao, Qinghong Shang, Mengqi Guo, Yubin Huang, Meina Zhang, Xiaoyu Chen, Yinping Liang, Xiangnan Sun, Fan Zhou, Jingjing Zhuang, Shuang-Jiang Liu, Christoph F. A. Vogel, Fraydoon Rastinejad, Dalei Wu

“…Abstract The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) possesses an extraordinary capacity to sense and respond to a wide range of small-molecule ligands, ranging from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to endogenous compounds. Upon ligand binding, AHR translocates from the cytoplasm to nucleus, forming a transcriptionally active complex with aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT), for DNA binding and initiation of gene expression programs that include cellular detoxification pathways and immune responses. …”

Boosting disassembly of π–π stacked supramolecular nanodrugs under tumor microenvironment by introducing stimuli‐responsive drug‐mates by Wenzhe Xu, Ruixu Yang, Yingke Xue, Yang Chen, Shuwei Liu, Songling Zhang, Yonggang Wang, Yi Liu, Hao Zhang

“…Abstract Numerous reports have demonstrated the construction of supramolecular nanodrugs (SNDs) via the π–π stacking of drug molecules for antitumor applications because most drugs possess aromatic rings or other planar conjugate units. However, the destruction of π–π stacking and the subsequent disassembly of SNDs under tumor microenvironment (TME), which is the precondition for drug release, have not been clearly described. …”
