Unanticipated mechanisms of covalent inhibitor and synthetic ligand cobinding to PPARγ by Jinsai Shang, Douglas J Kojetin

“…Here, we reveal the structural mechanism of cobinding between a synthetic covalent antagonist inhibitor with other synthetic ligands. Biochemical and NMR data show that covalent inhibitors weaken—but do not prevent—the binding of other ligands via an allosteric mechanism, rather than direct ligand clashing, by shifting the LBD ensemble toward a transcriptionally repressive conformation, which structurally clashes with orthosteric ligand binding. …”

The world’s most venomous spider is a species complex: systematics of the Sydney funnel-web spider (Atracidae: Atrax robustus) by Stephanie F. Loria, Svea-Celina Frank, Nadine Dupérré, Helen M. Smith, Braxton Jones, Bruno A. Buzatto, Danilo Harms

“…The revised taxonomy for funnel-web spiders may have practical implications for antivenom production and biochemical studies on spider venoms. Although no human fatalities have occurred since the development of antivenom in the 1980s, antivenom for Sydney funnel-web spiders might be optimized by considering biological differentiation at the species level.…”

Effect of Berberine on the Inflammatory Response of ANA-1 Cells Induced by Angiotensin Ⅱ Based on TLR4 Signaling Pathway by GAO Dexing, JIA Peizhi, PENG Jun, LIN Wei

“…Compared with the control group, the expression of TLR4, p-p65 protein of the model group after intervention for 12 h was significantly increased, the expression of TLR4, p-p65 protein of the model + the high dose BBR group, the model group + the inhibitor group, the model group + the inhibitor group + the high dose BBR goup was significantly decreased. ⑥ Biochemical test results: compared with the control group, the content of MDA of the model group was significantly increased, SOD activity was significantly decreased, the difference was statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), the content of MDA in the model group + the low, medium and high dose BBR group was significantly down-regulated, SOD activity was significantly increased, the difference was statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).ConclusionBBR can regulate TLR4 signaling pathway and inhibit the abnormal activation of TLR4 signaling pathway induced by Ang Ⅱ and NF-κB, MAPK signal transduction, and reduce the content of proinflammatory factors and regulate inflammatory response; in addition, BBR can also improve the lipid peroxidation and antioxidant ability of ANA-1 cells induced by Ang Ⅱ, reduce the oxidative stress damage caused by Ang Ⅱ, and protect ANA-1 cells.…”
