    Abstract Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a quantitative spectroscopy technique which could potentially increase throughput and sensitivity of screening for ligand, substrate and inhibitor binding to membrane proteins in solution. However, the purification of membrane proteins in their active forms is complex, as the lipid bilayer provides stability and its removal often causes the protein to become conformationally unstable. This has limited the application of biophysical techniques such as FCS to study the function of membrane proteins. The recent application of native extraction techniques such as styrene maleic acid lipid particles (SMALPs) has resolved this issue and FCS has emerged as a powerful option for studying proteins extracted in this way. This review will discuss the application of FCS to study purified membrane proteins in detergent micelles, nanodiscs and SMALPs and its potential to be used routinely in membrane protein drug discovery.

    Abstract Cortical actin plays a key role in cell movement and division, but has also been implicated in the organisation of cell surface receptors such as G protein-coupled receptors. The actin mesh proximal to the inner membrane forms small fenced regions, or 'corrals', in which receptors can be constrained. Quantification of the actin mesh at the nanoscale has largely been attempted in single molecule datasets and electron micrographs. This work describes the development and validation of workflows for analysis of super resolved fixed cortical actin images obtained by Super Resolved Radial Fluctuations (SRRF), Structured Illumination Microscopy (3D-SIM) and Expansion Microscopy (ExM). SRRF analysis was used to show a significant increase in corral area when treating cells with the actin disrupting agent cytochalasin D (increase of 0.31 µm

    Abstract In recent years, several novel aspects of GPCR pharmacology have been described, which are thought to play a role in determining the in vivo efficacy of a compound. Fluorescent ligands have been used to study many of these, which have also required the development of new experimental approaches. Fluorescent ligands offer the potential to use the same fluorescent probe to perform a broad range of experiments, from single-molecule microscopy to in vivo BRET. This review provides an overview of the in vitro use of fluorescent ligands in further understanding emerging pharmacological paradigms within the GPCR field, including ligand-binding kinetics, allosterism and intracellular signalling, along with the use of fluorescent ligands to study physiologically relevant therapeutic agents.

    Abstract Organization of G protein-coupled receptors at the plasma membrane has been the focus of much recent attention. Advanced microscopy techniques have shown that these receptors can be localized to discrete microdomains and reorganization upon ligand activation is crucial in orchestrating their signaling. Here, we have compared the membrane organization and downstream signaling of a mutant (R108A, R3.50A) of the adenosine A

Therefore, new chemical tools are required to study the role of ACKR3 in cancer and other diseases.

    Abstract The C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4, or CXCR4, is a chemokine receptor found to promote cancer progression and metastasis of various cancer cell types. To investigate the pharmacology of this receptor, and to further elucidate its role in cancer, novel chemical tools are a necessity. In the present study, using classic medicinal chemistry approaches, small-molecule-based fluorescent probes were designed and synthesized based on previously reported small-molecule antagonists. Here, we report the development of three distinct chemical classes of fluorescent probes that show specific binding to the CXCR4 receptor in a novel fluorescence-based NanoBRET binding assay (p

    Abstract The human ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, ABCG2, is responsible for multidrug resistance in some tumours. Detailed knowledge of its activity is crucial for understanding drug transport and resistance in cancer, and has implications for wider pharmacokinetics. The binding of substrates and inhibitors is a key stage in the transport cycle of ABCG2. Here, we describe a novel binding assay using a high affinity fluorescent inhibitor based on Ko143 and time-resolved Förster resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) to measure saturation binding to ABCG2. This binding is displaced by Ko143 and other known ABCG2 ligands, and is sensitive to the addition of AMP-PNP, a non-hydrolysable ATP analogue. This assay complements the arsenal of methods for determining drug:ABCG2 interactions and has the possibility of being adaptable for other multidrug pumps.

    Abstract The five members of the mammalian G subfamily of ATP-binding cassette transporters differ greatly in their substrate specificity. Four members of the subfamily are important in lipid transport and the wide substrate specificity of one of the members, ABCG2, is of significance due to its role in multidrug resistance. To explore the origin of substrate selectivity in members 1, 2, 4, 5 and 8 of this subfamily, we have analysed the differences in conservation between members in a multiple sequence alignment of ABCG sequences from mammals. Mapping sets of residues with similar patterns of conservation onto the resolved 3D structure of ABCG2 reveals possible explanations for differences in function, via a connected network of residues from the cytoplasmic to transmembrane domains. In ABCG2, this network of residues may confer extra conformational flexibility, enabling it to transport a wider array of substrates.
