    Description: Structural analysis of class B G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), cell-surface proteins that respond to peptide hormones, has been restricted to the amino-terminal extracellular domain, thus providing little understanding of the membrane-spanning signal transduction domain. The corticotropin-releasing factor receptor type 1 is a class B receptor which mediates the response to stress and has been considered a drug target for depression and anxiety. Here we report the crystal structure of the transmembrane domain of the human corticotropin-releasing factor receptor type 1 in complex with the small-molecule antagonist CP-376395. The structure provides detailed insight into the architecture of class B receptors. Atomic details of the interactions of the receptor with the non-peptide ligand that binds deep within the receptor are described. This structure provides a model for all class B GPCRs and may aid in the design of new small-molecule drugs for diseases of brain and metabolism.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hollenstein, Kaspar -- Kean, James -- Bortolato, Andrea -- Cheng, Robert K Y -- Dore, Andrew S -- Jazayeri, Ali -- Cooke, Robert M -- Weir, Malcolm -- Marshall, Fiona H -- England -- Nature. 2013 Jul 25;499(7459):438-43. doi: 10.1038/nature12357.

    Description: Metabotropic glutamate receptors are class C G-protein-coupled receptors which respond to the neurotransmitter glutamate. Structural studies have been restricted to the amino-terminal extracellular domain, providing little understanding of the membrane-spanning signal transduction domain. Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 is of considerable interest as a drug target in the treatment of fragile X syndrome, autism, depression, anxiety, addiction and movement disorders. Here we report the crystal structure of the transmembrane domain of the human receptor in complex with the negative allosteric modulator, mavoglurant. The structure provides detailed insight into the architecture of the transmembrane domain of class C receptors including the precise location of the allosteric binding site within the transmembrane domain and key micro-switches which regulate receptor signalling. This structure also provides a model for all class C G-protein-coupled receptors and may aid in the design of new small-molecule drugs for the treatment of brain disorders.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Dore, Andrew S -- Okrasa, Krzysztof -- Patel, Jayesh C -- Serrano-Vega, Maria -- Bennett, Kirstie -- Cooke, Robert M -- Errey, James C -- Jazayeri, Ali -- Khan, Samir -- Tehan, Ben -- Weir, Malcolm -- Wiggin, Giselle R -- Marshall, Fiona H -- England -- Nature. 2014 Jul 31;511(7511):557-62. doi: 10.1038/nature13396.

    Description: Glucagon is a 29-amino-acid peptide released from the alpha-cells of the islet of Langerhans, which has a key role in glucose homeostasis. Glucagon action is transduced by the class B G-protein-coupled glucagon receptor (GCGR), which is located on liver, kidney, intestinal smooth muscle, brain, adipose tissue, heart and pancreas cells, and this receptor has been considered an important drug target in the treatment of diabetes. Administration of recently identified small-molecule GCGR antagonists in patients with type 2 diabetes results in a substantial reduction of fasting and postprandial glucose concentrations. Although an X-ray structure of the transmembrane domain of the GCGR has previously been solved, the ligand (NNC0640) was not resolved. Here we report the 2.5 A structure of human GCGR in complex with the antagonist MK-0893 (ref. 4), which is found to bind to an allosteric site outside the seven transmembrane (7TM) helical bundle in a position between TM6 and TM7 extending into the lipid bilayer. Mutagenesis of key residues identified in the X-ray structure confirms their role in the binding of MK-0893 to the receptor. The unexpected position of the binding site for MK-0893, which is structurally similar to other GCGR antagonists, suggests that glucagon activation of the receptor is prevented by restriction of the outward helical movement of TM6 required for G-protein coupling. Structural knowledge of class B receptors is limited, with only one other ligand-binding site defined--for the corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1 (CRF1R)--which was located deep within the 7TM bundle. We describe a completely novel allosteric binding site for class B receptors, providing an opportunity for structure-based drug design for this receptor class and furthering our understanding of the mechanisms of activation of these receptors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jazayeri, Ali -- Dore, Andrew S -- Lamb, Daniel -- Krishnamurthy, Harini -- Southall, Stacey M -- Baig, Asma H -- Bortolato, Andrea -- Koglin, Markus -- Robertson, Nathan J -- Errey, James C -- Andrews, Stephen P -- Teobald, Iryna -- Brown, Alastair J H -- Cooke, Robert M -- Weir, Malcolm -- Marshall, Fiona H -- England -- Nature. 2016 Apr 25;533(7602):274-7. doi: 10.1038/nature17414.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Heptares Therapeutics Ltd, BioPark, Broadwater Road, Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire AL7 3AX, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27111510" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: [Auszug] IN the discussion which followed the papers by Dr. J. R. Baker and Mr. R. M. Ranson and Prof. T. H. Bissonette, read before the Royal Society on Feb. 4, I suggested that their conclusions concerning light as a factor in sexual periodicity involved a principle of wide application. Dr. Baker had ...

    Notes: [Auszug] THE discussion in NATURE under the above heading appears to me to be based in large measure upon failure to realise the character of scientific knowledge. Such misunderstanding is to be deprecated as being contrary to the interests of further progress in biology. I beg leave, therefore, to ...

    Notes: [Auszug] As I pointed out in the article referred to by Prof. Thomson Flynn in NATURE of June 30, p. 1020 (Biol. Rev., 2, 129; 1927), parturition is certainly due to several factors, of which the decline of the corpus luteum is probably one. Moreover, the enlargement of the pregnant uterus is ...
