Abstract
In operando visualization of local electrochemical reactions provides mechanical insights into the dynamic transport of interfacial charge and reactant/product. Electrochemiluminescence is a crossover technique that quantitatively determines Faraday current and mass transport in a straightforward manner. However, the sensitivity is hindered by the low collision efficiency of radicals and side reactions at high voltage. Here, we report a site-selective heat boosting electrochemiluminescence microscopy. By generating a micron-scale heat point in situ at the electrode-solution interface, we achieved an enhancement of luminescence intensity up to 63 times, along with an advance of 0.2 V in applied voltage. Experimental results and finite element simulation demonstrate that the fundamental reasons are accelerated reaction rate and thermal convection via a photothermal effect. The concentrated electrochemiluminescence not only boosts the contrast of single cells by 20.54 times but also enables the site-selective cell-by-cell analysis of the heterogeneous membrane protein abundance. This electrochemical visualization method has great potential in the highly sensitive and selective analysis of local electron transfer events.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Deciphering the intricacies of the interactions of glomerulopathic Ig light chains with mesangial cells is key to delineate signaling events responsible for the mesangial pathologic alterations that ensue. METHODS Human mesangial cells, caveolin 1 (CAV1), wild type (WT) ,and knockout (KO), were incubated with glomerulopathic light chains purified from the urine of patients with light chain-associated (AL) amyloidosis or light chain deposition disease. Associated signaling events induced by surface interactions of glomerulopathic light chains with caveolins and other membrane proteins, as well as the effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) on the capacity of mesangial cells to intracellularly process AL light chains were investigated using a variety of techniques, including chemical crosslinking with mass spectroscopy, immunofluorescence, and ultrastructural immunolabeling. RESULTS Crosslinking experiments provide evidence suggesting that sortilin-related receptor (SORL1), a transmembrane sorting receptor that regulates cellular trafficking of proteins, is a component of the receptor on mesangial cells for glomerulopathic light chains. Colocalization of glomerulopathic light chains with SORL1 in caveolae and also in lysosomes when light chain internalization occurred, was documented using double immunofluorescence and immunogold labeling ultrastructural techniques. It was found that EGCG directly blocks c-Fos cytoplasmic to nuclei signal translocation after interactions of AL light chains with mesangial cells, resulting in a decrease in amyloid formation. CONCLUSION Our findings document for the first time a role for SORL1 linked to glomerular pathology and signaling events that take place when certain monoclonal light chains interact with mesangial cells. This finding may lead to novel therapies for treating renal injury caused by glomerulopathic light chains.

Abstract
Attachment of retinal to opsin forms the chromophore N-retinylidene, which isomerizes during photoactivation of rhodopsins. To test whether isomerization is crucial, custom-tailored chromophores lacking the β-ionone ring and any isomerizable bonds were incorporated in vivo into the opsin of a blind mutant of the eukaryote Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The analogs restored phototaxis with the anticipated action spectra, ruling out the need for isomerization in photoactivation. To further elucidate photoactivation, responses to chromophores formed from naphthalene aldehydes were studied. The resulting action spectral shifts suggest that charge separation within the excited chromophore leads to electric field-induced polarization of nearby amino acid residues and altered hydrogen bonding. This redistribution of charge facilitates the reported multiple bond rotations and protein rearrangements of rhodopsin activation. These results provide insight into the activation of rhodopsins and related GPCRs.

Abstract
We used positively charged lipids to prepare lipid bilayer assemblies (LBAs) upon which we assembled negatively charged gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Treatment of the assembly with zirconium chloride resulted in the formation of nanorings of the diameters inversely related to the zirconium ion concentration. The nanorings were attributed to the zirconium ion coordinated AuNPs formed during the lipid bilayer budding process promoted by the acid effect of zirconium chloride. Nanoring organization was also dependent on the fluidity of lipid bilayers, an indication of LBA-assisted nanomaterials organization. We suggest that such bioorganic-inorganic hybrid assemblies coupled to unique topological and morphological variations might be useful as stimuli-responsive sensors or storage compartments for proteins or drugs.

Abstract
Background G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the largest family of membrane proteins in the human genome and the richest source of targets for the pharmaceutical industry. A major limitation to characterizing GPCRs has been the difficulty in developing high-level heterologous expression systems that are cost effective. Reasons for these difficulties include inefficient transport and insertion in the plasma membrane and cytotoxicity. Additionally, GPCR purification requires detergents, which have a negative effect on receptor yields and stability. Results Here we report a detergent-free cell-free protein expression-based method to obtain pharmacologically active GPCRs in about 2 hours. Our strategy relies on the co-translational insertion of modified GPCRs into nanometer-sized planar membranes. As a model we employed an engineered β2-adrenergic receptor in which the third intracellular loop has been replaced with T4 lysozyme (β2AR -T4L). We demonstrated that nanolipoprotein particles (NLPs) are necessary for expression of active β2AR -T4L in cell-free systems. The binding specificity of the NLP- β2AR-T4L complex has been determined by competitive assays. Our results demonstrate that β2AR-T4L synthesized in vitro depends on similar oxidative conditions as those required by an in vivo-expressed receptor. Conclusions Although the activation of β2AR-T4L requires the insertion of the T4 lysozyme sequence and the yield of that active protein limited, our results conceptually prove that cell-free protein expression could be used as a fast approach to express these valuable and notoriously difficult-to-express proteins.

Abstract
We present a versatile and controlled route to immobilize gold nanoparticles (NPs) on the surface of living cells, while preserving the sensing and optothermal capabilities of the original colloid. Our approach is based on the controlled and selective binding of Au NPs to phospholipids prior to cell incubation. We show that in the presence of the cells the lipid-bound Au NPs are delivered to the cellular membrane and that their diffusion is rather slow and spatially limited, as a result of lipid binding. Avoiding nonspecific membrane labeling, this approach is of general application to several types of colloids and cells and thereby provides a platform for controlled plasmonic and optothermal investigations of living cell membranes.

Abstract
We developed a single nanoparticle tracking-based detection method for membrane-associated molecules using a paucivalent gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-modified supported lipid bilayer (SLB) platform. Here, the binding activity of membrane-associated molecules (cholera toxin binding to ganglioside GM(1) in this case) was determined by calculating the diffusion coefficients of membrane-tethered AuNPs. This nonbleaching nanoparticle-based method provides >100-fold improvement in sensitivity for the same target without optimization over the fluorophore-based method that also has photobleaching and photoblinking problems. This new detection platform and analysis method could be used for membrane-associated molecule biosensor and screening assay development.

Abstract
The binding of an agonist to a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) causes its coupling to different G proteins, which mediate signaling. However, the binding of an antagonist to the same site of the GPCR could not induce coupling. To understand the molecular mechanism involved, the structural flexibility of the purified human thromboxane A2 receptor (TP) was characterized by spectroscopic approaches, while bound to an agonist or antagonist. Circular dichroism not only revealed that the purified TP adopted more than 50% helical conformation in solution but also showed that the antagonist, SQ29,548, could induce more of a beta-sheet structure in the TP than that of the agonist, U46619. Also, fluorescence studies showed that the antagonist induced the intrinsic Trp fluorescence signal change more than the agonist. Furthermore, three of the nine tryptophan residues involved in the different ligand-based structural changes were demonstrated by NMR spectroscopy. Low pH-induced changes in the receptor conformation and molecular interaction field dramatically increased the agonist binding but did not significantly affect the antagonist binding. Different conformational changes were also observed in the TP reconstituted into phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylserine/phosphatydylethanolamine-formed liposomes. These studies are the first to show a possible mechanism of the ligand-specific conformation-dependent agonist activation and antagonist blockage in the GPCR.

Abstract
Fully understanding the mechanisms of signaling proteins such as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) will require the characterization of their conformational states and the pathways connecting those states. The recent crystal structures of the beta(2)- and beta(1)-adrenergic receptors in a nominally inactive state constituted a major advance toward this goal, but also raised new questions. Although earlier biochemical observations had suggested that these receptors possessed a set of contacts between helices 3 and 6, known as the ionic lock, which was believed to form a molecular switch for receptor activation, the crystal structures lacked these contacts. The unexpectedly broken ionic lock has raised questions about the true conformation(s) of the inactive state and the role of the ionic lock in receptor activation and signaling. To address these questions, we performed microsecond-timescale molecular dynamics simulations of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR) in multiple wild-type and mutant forms. In wild-type simulations, the ionic lock formed reproducibly, bringing the intracellular ends of helices 3 and 6 together to adopt a conformation similar to that found in inactive rhodopsin. Our results suggest that inactive beta(2)AR exists in equilibrium between conformations with the lock formed and the lock broken, whether or not the cocrystallized ligand is present. These findings, along with the formation of several secondary structural elements in the beta(2)AR loops during our simulations, may provide a more comprehensive picture of the inactive state of the beta-adrenergic receptors, reconciling the crystal structures with biochemical studies.

Abstract
In the isomeric series of 12 racemic topologically rigid N-methyl analogues of oxide-bridged phenylmorphans, all but two of the racemates, the ortho- and para-b-oxide-bridged phenylmorphans 20 and 12, have remained to be synthesized. The b-isomers were very difficult to synthesize because of the highly strained 5,6-trans-fused ring junction that had to be formed. Our successful strategy required functionalization of the position para (or ortho) to a fluorine atom on the aromatic ring using an electron-withdrawing nitro group to activate that fluorine. The racemic N-phenethyl analogues 24 and 16 were moderately potent kappa-receptor antagonists in the [(35)S]GTPgammaS assay. We synthesized the N-phenethyl-substituted oxide-bridged phenylmorphans in the ortho- and para-d-oxide-bridged phenylmorphan series (51 and 52) which had not been previously evaluated using contemporary receptor binding assays to see whether they also have higher affinity for opioid receptors than their N-methyl relatives 46 and 47.
