- Happy to share new review of endothelium glutamate receptors in brain pathology. www.frontiersin.org/journals/pha...
- Discovery of new AMPA receptor regulators – RNA molecules that act as competitive antagonists causing CNS-related toxicity when intended for treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Collaboration with Regulus Therapeutic/Novartis! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Oligonucleotide (ON) RGLS4326 designed for treatment of ADPKD caused CNS-related toxicity due to competitive antagonism of AMPA receptors. Understanding this allowed making a new ON devoid of toxicity. Collaboration with Regulus/Novartis! @LauraYen42 @MariaKarela3 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Now in the journal issue! Structures of kainate receptor GluK2 in the closed apo state and open conducting state bound to agonist kainate and positive allosteric modulator BPAM. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Now in the journal issue! Molecular mechanism of activation of kainate receptor GluK2 in complex with auxiliary subunit Neto2. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Magnesium site in human oncochannel TRPV6 is formed by two negatively charged residues that are close together in the closed state and separated in the open state. Mg2+ binding keeps these residues together and stabilizes the closed state. With Chubanov/Efremov labs! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- Reposted by sobolevskyPleasure to be part of this work www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... with Sandip Basak at NTU where we show asymmetric gating in GLIC!
- Happy to share our new review of kainate receptor structure and gating. www.frontiersin.org/journals/pha...
- Reposted by sobolevskyCongratulations, Yifan, for the Anatrace Award! Yifan’s work on the TRPV1 structure with David Julius helped launch the Resolution Revolution in cryo-EM. Not just in membrane proteins—hardly any area of biophysics today has remained untouched by the techniques Yifan pioneered.

- Reposted by sobolevskyHow the twin-arginine translocase (Tat) system manages to transport folded proteins across membranes without any leaks? To answer this fundamental question we solved the first structure of TatB3C3 complex with bound cargo. Please check out new preprint! t.co/962Kj9pt6F
- Reposted by sobolevsky🚨🧠🔬 A major breakthrough in molecular neuroscience: I am excited to share a new story from our lab, published in accelerated format today by @nature.com: "Delta-type glutamate receptors are ligand-gated ion channels" Read more here (free article link): rdcu.be/eGIKz
- Happy to share the molecular mechanism of activation of kainate-subtype ionotropic glutamate receptor GluK2 in complex with auxiliary subunits Neto2. In both closed/apo and open states, ligand-binding domain (LBD) layer has 2-fold rotational symmetry! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
