- Odorant receptors – a bit of smell for drug discovery
receptors (ORs) belong to the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family and are the largest known mammalian gene family with around 900 genes. Higher-resolution analysis of gene expression, including q)RT-PCR, microarray, or relatively new NGS (RNASeq) analyses, have indicated that OR genes are also expressed in non-olfactory tissues including Interestingly, olfactory neurons gene expression is very peculiar, and each neuron expresses a single

- A role for BET proteins in regulating basal, dopamine-induced and cAMP/PKA-dependent ...
It is known that when Brd4 is activated by phosphorylation, it binds more readily to acetylated histones BET proteins with the bromodomain inhibitor JQ1 suppressed the expression of ~25% of D1R-upregulated genes , while also increasing the expression of a subset of immediate-early genes. We further found that cAMP/PKA signalling promotes Brd4 recruitment to dopamine-induced genes in striatal neurons, and that knockdown of Brd4 attenuates D1R-induced gene expression.
