Here we demonstrate that ACKR3/CXCR7, hitherto known as an atypical scavenger receptor for chemokines, is a broad-spectrum scavenger of opioid peptides. Phylogenetically, ACKR3 is intermediate between chemokine and opioid receptors and is present in various brain regions together with classical opioid receptors. Functionally, ACKR3 is a scavenger receptor for a wide variety of opioid peptides, especially enkephalins and dynorphins, reducing their availability for the classical opioid receptors. ACKR3 is not modulated by prescription opioids, but we show that an ACKR3-selective subnanomolar competitor peptide, LIH383, can restrain ACKR3’s negative regulatory function on opioid peptides in rat brain and potentiate their activity towards classical receptors, which may open alternative therapeutic avenues for opioid- related disorders. Altogether, our results reveal that ACKR3 is an atypical opioid receptor with cross-family ligand selectivity. 1 Department of Infection and Immunity, Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH), rue Henri Koch 29, L-4354 Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg. 2 Molecular, Cellular and Pharmacobiology Section, Institute of Pharmaceutical Biology, University of Bonn, Nussallee 6, 53115 Bonn, Germany. 3 Neurophysiology Unit, GIGA Neurosciences, University of Liège, avenue de l’hopital, B-4000 Liège, Belgium. 4 Research Training Group 1873, University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany. 5 Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB), University of Luxembourg, avenue du Swing 6, L-4367 Belvaux, Luxembourg. 6 Department of Life Sciences and Medicine, University of Luxembourg, avenue du Swing 6, L-4367 Belvaux, Luxembourg. 7 Transversal Translational Medicine, Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH), rue Thomas Edison 1A-B, L-1445 Strassen, Luxembourg. 8 Department of Dermatology and Allergy Center, Odense Research Center for Anaphylaxis, University of Southern Denmark, 5000 Odense, Denmark. 9These authors contributed equally: Max Meyrath, Martyna Szpakowska. ✉ email: [email protected] NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | (2020) 11:3033 | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-16664-0 | www.nature.com/naturecommunications 1 ARTICLE NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-16664-0 pioid receptors are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) In this study, we show that ACKR3 is abundantly expressed in Othat play a central role in reward processing, euphoria, the same brain regions as the classical opioid receptors and that, analgesia, stress, anxiety, and depression.

Please join us in congratulating these students and their faculty mentors. Major Academic Year Support (MAYS) Student: Kelly Ackerly Mentor: Dr. Daniel Greenberg Major: Psychology Department: Psychology An Exploration of Maternal Factors Affecting Children’s Autobiographical Memory In day-to-day interactions, mothers and their young children discuss memories of events they have experienced. Research has demonstrated the relationship between these interactions and the development of children’s memories. It is through these interactions that children learn how to interpret personal experiences and develop the skill of talking about them with others in a coherent way. Additionally, studies have found that children are more likely to form false memories—that is, inaccurate “memories” of events that did not actually occur – because their memories are more easily manipulated. In this study, we will explore whether the way mothers talk to their children about ambiguous events affects the children’s interpretations and memories of the event. We will also attempt to determine if there is a relationship between mothers’ negativity during discussions and their child’s formation of false memories. To explore this idea, mothers and their children (aged 3 to 6 years) are given a handful of ambiguous situations to interpret separately. Children are given the opportunity to make slime with a research assistant while a second research assistant acts out ambiguous situations that could have a positive or negative interpretation. The children are evaluated on the way they interpret the situations and whether they form a negative false memory.

E-mail address: [email protected] (D. Schols). Abstract Chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 are considered the main coreceptors for initial HIV infection, replication and transmission, and subsequent AIDS progression. Over the years, other chemokine receptors, belonging to the family of G protein-coupled receptors, have also been identified as candidate coreceptors for HIV entry into human host cells. Amongst them, CXCR7, also known as atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3), was suggested as a coreceptor candidate capable of facilitating both HIV-1 and HIV-2 entry in vitro. In this study, a cellular infection model was established to further decipher the role of CXCR7 as an HIV coreceptor. Using this model, CXCR7-mediated viral entry was demonstrated for several clinical HIV isolates as well as laboratory strains. Of interest, the X4-tropic HIV-1 HE strain showed rapid adaptation towards CXCR7-mediated infection after continuous passaging on CD4- and CXCR7-expressing cells.

The control of chemokine availability within inflamed tissues is necessary to attain a resolving environment and when this fails chronic inflammation ensues. Accordingly, vertebrates have adopted a number of mechanisms for removing chemokines from inflamed sites to help precipitate resolution. Over the past 15 years, it has become apparent that essential players in this process are the members of the atypical chemokine receptor (ACKR) family.

Abstract The impact that β-arrestin proteins have on G-protein-coupled receptor trafficking, signaling and physiological behavior has gained much appreciation over the past decade. A number of studies have attributed the side effects associated with the use of naturally occurring and synthetic opioids, such as respiratory depression and constipation, to excessive recruitment of β-arrestin.
