Kinetic analysis of fluorescent ligand binding to cell surface receptors: Insights into conformational changes and allosterism in living cells (2023)
Journal Article
Hill, S. J., & Kilpatrick, L. E. (2023). Kinetic analysis of fluorescent ligand binding to cell surface receptors: Insights into conformational changes and allosterism in living cells. British Journal of Pharmacology, https://doi.org/10.1111/bph.16185

Equilibrium binding assays are one of the mainstays of current drug discovery efforts to evaluate the interaction of drugs with receptors in membranes and intact cells. However, in recent years, there has been increased focus on the kinetics of the d...

Probing expression of E-selectin using CRISPR-Cas9-mediated tagging with HiBiT in human endothelial cells (2023)
Journal Article
Ogrodzinski, L., Platt, S., Goulding, J., Alexander, C., Farr, T. D., Woolard, J., …Kilpatrick, L. E. (2023). Probing expression of E-selectin using CRISPR-Cas9-mediated tagging with HiBiT in human endothelial cells. iScience, 26(7), Article 107232. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2023.107232

E-selectin is expressed on endothelial cells in response to inflammatory cytokines and mediates leukocyte rolling and extravasation. However, studies have been hampered by lack of experimental approaches to monitor expression in real time in living c...

Characterisation of IL-23 receptor antagonists and disease relevant mutants using fluorescent probes (2023)
Journal Article
Lay, C. S., Isidro-Llobet, A., Kilpatrick, L. E., Craggs, P. D., & Hill, S. J. (2023). Characterisation of IL-23 receptor antagonists and disease relevant mutants using fluorescent probes. Nature Communications, 14, Article 2882. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-38541-2

Association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the IL-23 receptor with several auto-inflammatory diseases, led to the heterodimeric receptor and its cytokine-ligand IL-23, becoming important drug targets. Successful antibody-based therapies direct... Read More about Characterisation of IL-23 receptor antagonists and disease relevant mutants using fluorescent probes.

Plasma membrane preassociation drives β-arrestin coupling to receptors and activation (2023)
Journal Article
Grimes, J., Koszegi, Z., Lanoiselée, Y., Miljus, T., O’Brien, S. L., Stepniewski, T. M., …Calebiro, D. (2023). Plasma membrane preassociation drives β-arrestin coupling to receptors and activation. Cell, 186(10), 2238-2255. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2023.04.018

β-arrestin plays a key role in G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling and desensitization. Despite recent structural advances, the mechanisms that govern receptor-β-arrestin interactions at the plasma membrane of living cells remain elusive. Her...
