    Description: The biogenic amine histamine is an important pharmacological mediator involved in pathophysiological processes such as allergies and inflammations. Histamine H(1) receptor (H(1)R) antagonists are very effective drugs alleviating the symptoms of allergic reactions. Here we show the crystal structure of the H(1)R complex with doxepin, a first-generation H(1)R antagonist. Doxepin sits deep in the ligand-binding pocket and directly interacts with Trp 428(6.48), a highly conserved key residue in G-protein-coupled-receptor activation. This well-conserved pocket with mostly hydrophobic nature contributes to the low selectivity of the first-generation compounds. The pocket is associated with an anion-binding region occupied by a phosphate ion. Docking of various second-generation H(1)R antagonists reveals that the unique carboxyl group present in this class of compounds interacts with Lys 191(5.39) and/or Lys 179(ECL2), both of which form part of the anion-binding region. This region is not conserved in other aminergic receptors, demonstrating how minor differences in receptors lead to pronounced selectivity differences with small molecules. Our study sheds light on the molecular basis of H(1)R antagonist specificity against H(1)R.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3131495/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3131495/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shimamura, Tatsuro -- Shiroishi, Mitsunori -- Weyand, Simone -- Tsujimoto, Hirokazu -- Winter, Graeme -- Katritch, Vsevolod -- Abagyan, Ruben -- Cherezov, Vadim -- Liu, Wei -- Han, Gye Won -- Kobayashi, Takuya -- Stevens, Raymond C -- Iwata, So -- 062164/ Z/00/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- BB/G023425/1/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- P50 GM073197/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P50 GM073197-07/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM071872/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM071872-02/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM071872-08/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM089857/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U54 GM094618/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U54 GM094618-01/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2011 Jun 22;475(7354):65-70. doi: 10.1038/nature10236.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Human Receptor Crystallography Project, ERATO, Japan Science and Technology Agency, Kyoto 606-8501, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21697825" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: G-protein-coupled receptors are the largest class of cell-surface receptors, and these membrane proteins exist in equilibrium between inactive and active states. Conformational changes induced by extracellular ligands binding to G-protein-coupled receptors result in a cellular response through the activation of G proteins. The A(2A) adenosine receptor (A(2A)AR) is responsible for regulating blood flow to the cardiac muscle and is important in the regulation of glutamate and dopamine release in the brain. Here we report the raising of a mouse monoclonal antibody against human A(2A)AR that prevents agonist but not antagonist binding to the extracellular ligand-binding pocket, and describe the structure of A(2A)AR in complex with the antibody Fab fragment (Fab2838). This structure reveals that Fab2838 recognizes the intracellular surface of A(2A)AR and that its complementarity-determining region, CDR-H3, penetrates into the receptor. CDR-H3 is located in a similar position to the G-protein carboxy-terminal fragment in the active opsin structure and to CDR-3 of the nanobody in the active beta(2)-adrenergic receptor structure, but locks A(2A)AR in an inactive conformation. These results suggest a new strategy to modulate the activity of G-protein-coupled receptors.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3303121/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3303121/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hino, Tomoya -- Arakawa, Takatoshi -- Iwanari, Hiroko -- Yurugi-Kobayashi, Takami -- Ikeda-Suno, Chiyo -- Nakada-Nakura, Yoshiko -- Kusano-Arai, Osamu -- Weyand, Simone -- Shimamura, Tatsuro -- Nomura, Norimichi -- Cameron, Alexander D -- Kobayashi, Takuya -- Hamakubo, Takao -- Iwata, So -- Murata, Takeshi -- 062164/Z/00/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- BB/G023425/1/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2012 Jan 29;482(7384):237-40. doi: 10.1038/nature10750.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Iwata Human Receptor Crystallography Project, ERATO, Japan Science and Technology Agency, Yoshidakonoe-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8501, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22286059" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A new technique for high-precision isotopic analyses of Ni is applied to terrestrial samples, Allende inclusions, and materials from other meteorites. It is noted that most of the Allende inclusions analyzed here were previously reported to contain isotopically anomalous Ti. In contrast, the Ni isotopic abundances are found to be indistinguishable from normal within presently obtainable precision, with only one possible exception. The latter inclusion has been shown by others to contain a significantly fractionated magnesium isotopic pattern of 9 parts per thousand/amu. A normal Ni isotopic pattern has also been observed for the chromite/carbon fraction of an Allende acid residue, which is known to have heavy noble gases of highly anomalous isotopic composition. All other meteoritic samples analyzed reveal normal isotopic compositions of Ni; no evidence for effects from now extinct Fe-60 could be detected. Despite ubiquitous isotopic anomalies in Ti from normal Allende inclusions there is no signature of isotopic variations in Ni from the same samples.

    Description: Ca-isotope measurements of Allende Ca-Al-rich inclusions (CAIs), together with those on an apatite-enriched fraction from Orgueil, indicate the existence of widespread excesses on the neutron-rich isotope Ca-48. Isotopic anomalies are noted in 7 out of 11 CAIs analyzed. This abundance of isotopic excesses places Ca alongside Ti and O, although no clear correlation has yet been found between Ca-48 and Ti-50, which are thought to be coproduced by neutron-rich nucleosynthetic processes within stars. It is suggested that the higher volatility of Ca, by comparison with Ti compounds, led to a variable dilution with isotopically normal Ca in vaporization and recondensation processes in stellar envelopes, the interstellar medium, and/or the solar nebula.

    Description: Carbon and chromite fractions from the Allende meteorite that contain isotopically anomalous xenon-131 to xenon-136 (carbonaceous chondrite fission or CCF xenon) at up to 5 x 10 to the 11th atoms per gram show no detectable isotopic anomalies in barium-130 to barium-138. This rules out the possibility that the CCF xenon was formed by in situ fission of an extinct superheavy element. Apparently the CCF xenon and its carbonaceous carrier are relics from stellar nucleosynthesis.

    Description: A carbon-chromite fraction from the Allende C3V chondrite shows strikingly large isotopic enrichments of neodymium-142 (0.47 percent) and neodymium-143 (36 percent). Both apparently formed by alpha decay of samarium-146 and samarium-147 (half-lives 1.03 x 10 to the 8th and 1.06 x 10 to the 11th years), but the isotopic enrichment was greatly magnified by recoil of residual nuclei into a carbon film surounding the samarium-bearing grains. These data provide an improved estimate of the original abundance of extinct samarium-146 in the early solar system, Sm-146/Sm-144 = (4.5 + or - 0.5) x 10 to the -3rd, higher than predicted by some models of p-process nucleosynthesis. It may be possible to use this isotopic pair as a chronometer of the early solar system.
