  text: 'Extrasynaptic actions of glutamate are limited by high-affinity transporters
    expressed by perisynaptic astroglial processes (PAPs): this helps maintain point-to-point
    transmission in excitatory circuits. Memory formation in the brain is associated
    with synaptic remodeling, but how this affects PAPs and therefore extrasynaptic
    glutamate actions is poorly understood. Here, we used advanced imaging methods,
    in situ and in vivo, to find that a classical synaptic memory mechanism, long-term
    potentiation (LTP), triggers withdrawal of PAPs from potentiated synapses. Optical
    glutamate sensors combined with patch-clamp and 3D molecular localization reveal
    that LTP induction thus prompts spatial retreat of astroglial glutamate transporters,
    boosting glutamate spillover and NMDA-receptor-mediated inter-synaptic cross-talk.
    The LTP-triggered PAP withdrawal involves NKCC1 transporters and the actin-controlling
    protein cofilin but does not depend on major Ca2+-dependent cascades in astrocytes.
    We have therefore uncovered a mechanism by which a memory trace at one synapse
    could alter signal handling by multiple neighboring connections.'

  text: G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) form the largest receptor family, relay
    environmental stimuli to changes in cell behavior and represent prime drug targets.
    Many GPCRs are classified as orphan receptors because of the limited knowledge
    on their ligands and coupling to cellular signaling machineries. Here, we engineer
    a library of 63 chimeric receptors that contain the signaling domains of human
    orphan and understudied GPCRs functionally linked to the light-sensing domain
    of rhodopsin. Upon stimulation with visible light, we identify activation of canonical
    cell signaling pathways, including cAMP-, Ca2+-, MAPK/ERK-, and Rho-dependent
    pathways, downstream of the engineered receptors. For the human pseudogene GPR33,
    we resurrect a signaling function that supports its hypothesized role as a pathogen
    entry site. These results demonstrate that substituting unknown chemical activators
    with a light switch can reveal information about protein function and provide
    an optically controlled protein library for exploring the physiology and therapeutic
    potential of understudied GPCRs.

  text: Fluorescent sensors are an essential part of the experimental toolbox of the
    life sciences, where they are used ubiquitously to visualize intra- and extracellular
    signaling. In the brain, optical neurotransmitter sensors can shed light on temporal
    and spatial aspects of signal transmission by directly observing, for instance,
    neurotransmitter release and spread. Here we report the development and application
    of the first optical sensor for the amino acid glycine, which is both an inhibitory
    neurotransmitter and a co-agonist of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs)
    involved in synaptic plasticity. Computational design of a glycine-specific binding
    protein allowed us to produce the optical glycine FRET sensor (GlyFS), which can
    be used with single and two-photon excitation fluorescence microscopy. We took
    advantage of this newly developed sensor to test predictions about the uneven
    spatial distribution of glycine in extracellular space and to demonstrate that
    extracellular glycine levels are controlled by plasticity-inducing stimuli.

  text: Small molecule biosensors based on Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET)
    enable small molecule signaling to be monitored with high spatial and temporal
    resolution in complex cellular environments. FRET sensors can be constructed by
    fusing a pair of fluorescent proteins to a suitable recognition domain, such as
    a member of the solute-binding protein (SBP) superfamily. However, naturally occurring
    SBPs may be unsuitable for incorporation into FRET sensors due to their low thermostability,
    which may preclude imaging under physiological conditions, or because the positions
    of their N- and C-termini may be suboptimal for fusion of fluorescent proteins,
    which may limit the dynamic range of the resulting sensors. Here, we show how
    these problems can be overcome using ancestral protein reconstruction and circular
    permutation. Ancestral protein reconstruction, used as a protein engineering strategy,
    leverages phylogenetic information to improve the thermostability of proteins,
    while circular permutation enables the termini of an SBP to be repositioned to
    maximize the dynamic range of the resulting FRET sensor. We also provide a protocol
    for cloning the engineered SBPs into FRET sensor constructs using Golden Gate
    assembly and discuss considerations for in situ characterization of the FRET sensors.

  text: Nature has incorporated small photochromic molecules, colloquially termed
    'photoswitches', in photoreceptor proteins to sense optical cues in photo-taxis
    and vision. While Nature's ability to employ light-responsive functionalities
    has long been recognized, it was not until recently that scientists designed,
    synthesized and applied synthetic photochromes to manipulate many of which open
    rapidly and locally in their native cell types, biological processes with the
    temporal and spatial resolution of light. Ion channels in particular have come
    to the forefront of proteins that can be put under the designer control of synthetic
    photochromes. Photochromic ion channel controllers are comprised of three classes,
    photochromic soluble ligands (PCLs), photochromic tethered ligands (PTLs) and
    photochromic crosslinkers (PXs), and in each class ion channel functionality is
    controlled through reversible changes in photochrome structure. By acting as light-dependent
    ion channel agonists, antagonist or modulators, photochromic controllers effectively
    converted a wide range of ion channels, including voltage-gated ion channels,
    'leak channels', tri-, tetra- and pentameric ligand-gated ion channels, and temperaturesensitive
    ion channels, into man-made photoreceptors. Control by photochromes can be reversible,
    unlike in the case of 'caged' compounds, and non-invasive with high spatial precision,
    unlike pharmacology and electrical manipulation. Here, we introduce design principles
    of emerging photochromic molecules that act on ion channels and discuss the impact
    that these molecules are beginning to have on ion channel biophysics and neuronal
    physiology.

  text: The impact of disulfide bonds on protein stability goes beyond simple equilibrium
    thermodynamics effects associated with the conformational entropy of the unfolded
    state. Indeed, disulfide crosslinks may play a role in the prevention of dysfunctional
    association and strongly affect the rates of irreversible enzyme inactivation,
    highly relevant in biotechnological applications. While these kinetic-stability
    effects remain poorly understood, by analogy with proposed mechanisms for processes
    of protein aggregation and fibrillogenesis, we propose that they may be determined
    by the properties of sparsely-populated, partially-unfolded intermediates. Here
    we report the successful design, on the basis of high temperature molecular-dynamics
    simulations, of six thermodynamically and kinetically stabilized variants of phytase
    from Citrobacter braakii (a biotechnologically important enzyme) with one, two
    or three engineered disulfides. Activity measurements and 3D crystal structure
    determination demonstrate that the engineered crosslinks do not cause dramatic
    alterations in the native structure. The inactivation kinetics for all the variants
    displays a strongly non-Arrhenius temperature dependence, with the time-scale
    for the irreversible denaturation process reaching a minimum at a given temperature
    within the range of the denaturation transition. We show this striking feature
    to be a signature of a key role played by a partially unfolded, intermediate state/ensemble.
    Energetic and mutational analyses confirm that the intermediate is highly unfolded
    (akin to a proposed critical intermediate in the misfolding of the prion protein),
    a result that explains the observed kinetic stabilization. Our results provide
    a rationale for the kinetic-stability consequences of disulfide-crosslink engineering
    and an experimental methodology to arrive at energetic/structural descriptions
    of the sparsely populated and elusive intermediates that play key roles in irreversible
    protein denaturation.
