Optically pure, structural and fluorescent analogues of a dimeric Y4 receptor agonist derived by an olefin metathesis approach (2016)
Journal Article
Liu, M., Mountford, S. J., Richardson, R. R., Groenen, M., Holliday, N. D., & Thompson, P. E. (2016). Optically pure, structural and fluorescent analogues of a dimeric Y4 receptor agonist derived by an olefin metathesis approach. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 59(13), 6059-6069. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jmedchem.6b00310

The dimeric peptide 1 (BVD-74D, as a diastereomeric mixture) is a potent and selective Neuropeptide Y Y4 receptor agonist. It represents a valuable candidate in developing traceable ligands for pharmacological studies of Y4 receptors, and as a lead c...

Plasma membrane dynamics and tetrameric organisation of ABCG2 transporters in mammalian cells revealed by single particle imaging techniques (2015)
Journal Article
Wong, K., Briddon, S. J., Holliday, N. D., & Kerr, I. D. (2016). Plasma membrane dynamics and tetrameric organisation of ABCG2 transporters in mammalian cells revealed by single particle imaging techniques. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 1863(1), 19-29. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbamcr.2015.10.002

ABCG2 is one of three human ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters involved in the export from cells of a chemically and structurally diverse range of compounds. This multidrug efflux capability, together with a broad tissue distribution in the body...

Biased Gs versus Gq proteins and β-arrestin signaling in the NK1 receptor determined by interactions in the water hydrogen bond network (2015)
Journal Article
Valentin-Hansen, L., Frimurer, T. M., Mokrosinski, J., Holliday, N. D., & Schwartz, T. W. (2015). Biased Gs versus Gq proteins and β-arrestin signaling in the NK1 receptor determined by interactions in the water hydrogen bond network. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 290(40), 24495-24508. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.m115.641944

X-ray structures, molecular dynamics simulations, and mutational analysis have previously indicated that an extended water hydrogen bond network between trans-membranes I-III, VI, and VII constitutes an allosteric interface essential for stabilizing...

A G protein-coupled receptor dimer imaging assay reveals selectively modified pharmacology of neuropeptide Y Y1/Y5 receptor heterodimers (2015)
Journal Article
Kilpatrick, L. E., Humphrys, L. J., & Holliday, N. D. (in press). A G protein-coupled receptor dimer imaging assay reveals selectively modified pharmacology of neuropeptide Y Y1/Y5 receptor heterodimers. Molecular Pharmacology, 87(4), https://doi.org/10.1124/mol.114.095356

The ability of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to form dimers, and particularly heterodimers, offers potential for targeted therapeutics with improved selectivity. However, studying dimer pharmacology is challenging, because of signaling cross-ta...

Open Biology, 4(10), Article 140053. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsob.140053

The non-integrin laminin receptor (LAMR1/RPSA) and galectin-3 (Gal-3) are multi-functional host molecules with roles in diverse pathological processes, particularly of infectious or oncogenic origins. Using bimolecular fluorescence complementation an... Read More about Deciphering the complex three-way interaction between the non-integrin laminin receptor, galectin-3 and Neisseria meningitidis.
