Novel quinazolinone inhibitors of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing transcriptional regulator PqsR (2020)
Journal Article
Grossman, S., Soukarieh, F., Richardson, W., Liu, R., Mashabi, A., Emsley, J., …Stocks, M. J. (2020). Novel quinazolinone inhibitors of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing transcriptional regulator PqsR. European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 208, Article 112778. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejmech.2020.112778

© 2020 The Authors Rising numbers of cases of multidrug- and extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa over recent years have created an urgent need for novel therapeutic approaches to cure potentially fatal infections. One such approach is v... Read More about Novel quinazolinone inhibitors of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing transcriptional regulator PqsR.

Factor XII and kininogen asymmetric assembly with gC1qR/C1QBP/P32 is governed by allostery (2020)
Journal Article
Kaira, B. G., Slater, A., McCrae, K. R., Dreveny, I., Sumya, U., Mutch, N. J., …Emsley, J. (2020). Factor XII and kininogen asymmetric assembly with gC1qR/C1QBP/P32 is governed by allostery. Blood, 136(14), 1685–1697. https://doi.org/10.1182/blood.2020004818

The contact system is composed of Factor XII (FXII), prekallikrein (PK) and co-factor kininogen (HK). The globular C1q receptor (gC1qR) has been shown to interact with FXII and HK. We reveal the FXII fibronectin type II domain (FnII) binds gC1qR in a... Read More about Factor XII and kininogen asymmetric assembly with gC1qR/C1QBP/P32 is governed by allostery.
