    Conserved allosteric pathways for activation of TRPV3 revealed through engineering vanilloid-sensitivity

    Feng Zhang, Kenton Jon Swartz, Andres Jara-Oseguera
    TRPV channels share general mechanisms of activation while exhibiting subtype-specific features along the activation pathway that can determine their apparent sensitivity to stimuli.

    Allosteric coupling asymmetry mediates paradoxical activation of BRAF by type II inhibitors

    Damien M Rasmussen, Manny M Semonis ... Nicholas M Levinson
    A comprehensive allosteric model describes how inhibitors can activate rather than inhibit a target kinase by selectively driving formation of kinase dimers with one inhibited and one activated subunit.

    Allosteric activation or inhibition of PI3Kγ mediated through conformational changes in the p110γ helical domain

    Noah J Harris, Meredith L Jenkins ... John E Burke
    Regulation of phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3Kγ) is essential in immune function, and stimuli that modulate the dynamics of the PI3Kγ helical domain can activate or inhibit kinase activity.

    The allosteric activation of cGAS underpins its dynamic signaling landscape

    Richard M Hooy, Jungsan Sohn
    Rigorous biophysical studies reconcile several conflicting views on how cGAS is activated, and present a new unifying allosteric activation mechanism.

    The dual role of chloride in synaptic vesicle glutamate transport

    Roger Chang, Jacob Eriksen, Robert H Edwards
    Whole endosome recording shows that chloride interacts with vesicular glutamate transporters as both allosteric activator and permeant ion, and although the mode of permeation differs, chloride and glutamate use a related conduction pathway.

    Hemi-methylated DNA regulates DNA methylation inheritance through allosteric activation of H3 ubiquitylation by UHRF1

    Joseph S Harrison, Evan M Cornett ... Scott B Rothbart
    Epigenetic modifications to DNA can regulate E3 ubiquitin ligase activity in human cells.

    Allosteric ligands control the activation of a class C GPCR heterodimer by acting at the transmembrane interface

    Lei Liu, Zhiran Fan ... Jianfeng Liu
    Functional analysis reveals a distinct mode of action of the allosteric modulators in the GABAB receptor in a pocket that is formed only in the active state and identifies a region in the GABAB2 subunit important for allosteric agonism.

    A dynamic mechanism for allosteric activation of Aurora kinase A by activation loop phosphorylation

    Emily F Ruff, Joseph M Muretta ... Nicholas M Levinson
    Phosphorylation of Aurora A does not trigger a population shift to the active state as previously thought, but instead switches the kinase on by tuning the structure and dynamics of a dynamically sampled subpopulation.

    Allosteric activation of the nitric oxide receptor soluble guanylate cyclase mapped by cryo-electron microscopy

    Benjamin G Horst, Adam L Yokom ... Michael A Marletta
    The full-length structures of the mammalian nitric oxide receptor reveal the molecular activation steps and a binding site for the prototype of FDA-approved stimulators.

    Allosteric control of an asymmetric transduction in a G protein-coupled receptor heterodimer

    Junke Liu, Zongyong Zhang ... Jean-Philippe Pin
    In mGlu heterodimers, an oriented asymmetrical activation revealed complex allosteric interaction between subunits.
