Chemokines are from a family of secreted cytokines that direct the trafficking of immune cells to coordinate immune responses. Chemokines are involved in numerous disease states, including responding to infections, autoimmune disorders, and cancer metastasis. Ther are chemokines, like CCL21, that signal for cellular migration through the activation of G protein-coupled receptors, like CCR7, through interaction with the receptor's extracellular N-terminus, loops, and core of the receptor. CCL21...

NMR Methods for Characterization of Glycosaminoglycan-Chemokine Interactions
Humans express around 50 chemokines that play crucial roles in human pathophysiology from combating infection to immune surveillance by directing and trafficking leukocytes to the target tissue. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) regulate chemokine function by tuning monomer/dimer levels, chemotactic/haptotactic gradients, and how they are presented to their receptors. Knowledge of the structural features of the chemokine-GAG complexes and GAG properties that define chemokine interactions is essential...

[NMR paper] Extent of intrinsic disorder and NMR chemical shift assignments of the distal N-termini from human TRPV1, TRPV2 and TRPV3 ion channels
Extent of intrinsic disorder and NMR chemical shift assignments of the distal N-termini from human TRPV1, TRPV2 and TRPV3 ion channels
The mammalian Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid (TRPV) channels are a family of six tetrameric ion channels localized at the plasma membrane. The group I members of the family, TRPV1 through TRPV4, are heat-activated and exhibit remarkable polymodality. The distal N-termini of group I TRPV channels contain large intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), ranging from ~ 75 amino acids (TRPV2) to ~ 150 amino acids (TRPV4), the vast majority of which is...
