Neuronal pain pathway

The present invention relates to the discovery of a novel molecular pathway involved in long-term hyperexcitability of sensory neurons, which, in higher animals, is associated with persistent pain. It is based on the discovery that, following injury to an axon of a neuron, an increase in nitric oxide synthase activity results in increased nitric oxide production, which, in turn, activates guanylyl cyclase, thereby increasing levels of cGMP. Increased cGMP results in activation of protein kinase G (“PKG”), which then is retrogradely transported along the axon to the neuron cell body, where it phosphorylates MAPKerk.

Method for the poduction of cyclic molecules

The invention at hand describes a method for the cyclization of peptides and proteins in which linear thioesters serve as substrates. The cyclization is catalyzed by thioesterase domains of NRPS or PKS cyclases. The substrates according to the present invention are composed of one linear peptide on which a charge-stabilized aromatic, heteroaromatic or araliphatic leaving group is bound. These substrates lead to higher yields and reaction rates than linear peptides able to be cyclized with methods known so far and, furthermore, allow the cyclization of such peptides which were previously not able to be cyclized.
