Small molecule signaling in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Abstract:

:Whereas the C. elegans genome was sequenced many years ago, the role of small molecule signals in its biology is still poorly understood. A recent publication reports the identification of two steroidal signaling molecules that regulate C. elegans reproductive development and dauer diapause via the nuclear receptor DAF-12. The two compounds, named dafachronic acids, represent the first endogenous ligands identified for any of the 284 nuclear receptors in C. elegans.

  • Conformational dynamics of a regulator of G-protein signaling protein reveals a mechanism of allosteric inhibition by a small molecule.

    abstract::Regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins are key players in regulating signaling via G protein-coupled receptors. RGS proteins directly bind to the Gα-subunits of activated heterotrimeric G-proteins, and accelerate the rate of GTP hydrolysis, thereby rapidly deactivating G-proteins. Using atomistic simulations...
