Probing protein oligomerization in living cells with fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy
Chen, Yan, Wei, Li-Na, Müller, Joachim D.
Fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy provides information about protein interactions in the intercellular environment from naturally occurring equilibrium fluctuations. We determine the molecular...
Chen, Yan, Wei, Li-Na, Müller, Joachim D.
Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy is a potentially powerful tool for measuring protein-protein interactions directly in single living cells. We previously reported on the detection of homodimer...

Bi, Jing, Tsai, Nien-Pei, Lin, Ya-Ping, Loh, Horace H., Wei, Li-Na
κ-opioid receptor (KOR) is detected pre- and postsynaptically, but the subcellular localization, translation, and regulation of kor mRNA in presynaptic compartments of sensory neurons remain...
Regulation of retinal dehydrogenases and retinoic acid synthesis by cholesterol metabolites
Huq, M D Mostaqul, Tsai, Nien-Pei, Gupta, Pawan, Wei, Li-Na
Retinoic acid (RA) constitutes the major active ingredient of vitamin A and is required for various biological processes. The tissue RA level is maintained through a cascade of metabolic reactions...
Suppression of receptor interacting protein 140 repressive activity by protein arginine methylation
Mostaqul Huq, M D, Gupta, Pawan, Tsai, Nien-Pei, White, Roger, Parker, Malcolm G, Wei, Li-Na
Receptor interacting protein 140 (RIP140), a ligand-dependent corepressor for nuclear receptors, can be modified by arginine methylation. Three methylated arginine residues, at Arg-240, Arg-650, and...
Evidence of Endogenous Mu Opioid Receptor Regulation by Epigenetic Control of the Promoters▿
Hwang, Cheol Kyu, Song, Kyu Young, Kim, Chun Sung, Choi, Hack Sun, Guo, Xiao-Hong, Law, Ping-Yee, ...
The pharmacological effect of morphine as a painkiller is mediated mainly via the mu opioid receptor (MOR) and is dependent on the number of MORs in the cell surface membrane. While several studies...
Copb1-facilitated axonal transport and translation of κ opioid-receptor mRNA
Bi, Jing, Tsai, Nien-Pei, Lu, Hsin-Yi, Loh, Horace H., Wei, Li-Na
mRNA of κ opioid receptor (KOR) can be transported to nerve fibers, including axons of dorsal root ganglia (DRG), and can be locally translated. Yeast three-hybrid screening identifies Copb1 as a...
