Open AccessStructural basis for ligand recognition and signaling of hydroxy-carboxylic acid receptor 2
Hydroxycarboxylic acid receptors (HCAR1, HCAR2, and HCAR3) transduce Gi/o signaling upon biding to molecules such as lactic acid, butyric acid and 3-hydroxyoctanoic acid, which are associated with lipolytic and a...

Open AccessStructural basis for assembly and disassembly of the IGF/IGFBP/ALS ternary complex
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) have pleiotropic roles in embryonic and postnatal growth and differentiation. Most serum IGFs are bound in a ternary complex with IGF-binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) and acid-labi...

Structural insights into the evolutionary paths of oxylipin biosynthetic enzymes
The oxylipin pathway generates not only prostaglandin-like jasmonates but also green leaf volatiles (GLVs), which confer characteristic aromas to fruits and vegetables. Although allene oxide synthase (AOS) and...
