    Ligand-specific regulation of the extracellular surface of a G-protein-coupled receptor (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-01-08
    Description: G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are seven-transmembrane proteins that mediate most cellular responses to hormones and neurotransmitters. They are the largest group of therapeutic targets for a broad spectrum of diseases. Recent crystal structures of GPCRs have revealed structural conservation extending from the orthosteric ligand-binding site in the transmembrane core to the cytoplasmic G-protein-coupling domains. In contrast, the extracellular surface (ECS) of GPCRs is remarkably diverse and is therefore an ideal target for the discovery of subtype-selective drugs. However, little is known about the functional role of the ECS in receptor activation, or about conformational coupling of this surface to the native ligand-binding pocket. Here we use NMR spectroscopy to investigate ligand-specific conformational changes around a central structural feature in the ECS of the beta(2) adrenergic receptor: a salt bridge linking extracellular loops 2 and 3. Small-molecule drugs that bind within the transmembrane core and exhibit different efficacies towards G-protein activation (agonist, neutral antagonist and inverse agonist) also stabilize distinct conformations of the ECS. We thereby demonstrate conformational coupling between the ECS and the orthosteric binding site, showing that drugs targeting this diverse surface could function as allosteric modulators with high subtype selectivity. Moreover, these studies provide a new insight into the dynamic behaviour of GPCRs not addressable by static, inactive-state crystal structures.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2805469/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2805469/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bokoch, Michael P -- Zou, Yaozhong -- Rasmussen, Soren G F -- Liu, Corey W -- Nygaard, Rie -- Rosenbaum, Daniel M -- Fung, Juan Jose -- Choi, Hee-Jung -- Thian, Foon Sun -- Kobilka, Tong Sun -- Puglisi, Joseph D -- Weis, William I -- Pardo, Leonardo -- Prosser, R Scott -- Mueller, Luciano -- Kobilka, Brian K -- GM56169/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM056169/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM056169-13/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R21 MH082313/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R21 MH082313-01A1/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R37 NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R37 NS028471-19/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Jan 7;463(7277):108-12. doi: 10.1038/nature08650.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20054398" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    High-resolution crystal structure of human protease-activated receptor 1 (2012)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-12-12
    Description: Protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1) is the prototypical member of a family of G-protein-coupled receptors that mediate cellular responses to thrombin and related proteases. Thrombin irreversibly activates PAR1 by cleaving the amino-terminal exodomain of the receptor, which exposes a tethered peptide ligand that binds the heptahelical bundle of the receptor to affect G-protein activation. Here we report the 2.2 A resolution crystal structure of human PAR1 bound to vorapaxar, a PAR1 antagonist. The structure reveals an unusual mode of drug binding that explains how a small molecule binds virtually irreversibly to inhibit receptor activation by the tethered ligand of PAR1. In contrast to deep, solvent-exposed binding pockets observed in other peptide-activated G-protein-coupled receptors, the vorapaxar-binding pocket is superficial but has little surface exposed to the aqueous solvent. Protease-activated receptors are important targets for drug development. The structure reported here will aid the development of improved PAR1 antagonists and the discovery of antagonists to other members of this receptor family.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3531875/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3531875/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zhang, Cheng -- Srinivasan, Yoga -- Arlow, Daniel H -- Fung, Juan Jose -- Palmer, Daniel -- Zheng, Yaowu -- Green, Hillary F -- Pandey, Anjali -- Dror, Ron O -- Shaw, David E -- Weis, William I -- Coughlin, Shaun R -- Kobilka, Brian K -- HL44907/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL65590/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL044907/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL065185/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL065590/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2012 Dec 20;492(7429):387-92. doi: 10.1038/nature11701.

    Structure of the delta-opioid receptor bound to naltrindole (2012)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-05-19
    Description: The opioid receptor family comprises three members, the micro-, delta- and kappa-opioid receptors, which respond to classical opioid alkaloids such as morphine and heroin as well as to endogenous peptide ligands like endorphins. They belong to the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, and are excellent therapeutic targets for pain control. The delta-opioid receptor (delta-OR) has a role in analgesia, as well as in other neurological functions that remain poorly understood. The structures of the micro-OR and kappa-OR have recently been solved. Here we report the crystal structure of the mouse delta-OR, bound to the subtype-selective antagonist naltrindole. Together with the structures of the micro-OR and kappa-OR, the delta-OR structure provides insights into conserved elements of opioid ligand recognition while also revealing structural features associated with ligand-subtype selectivity. The binding pocket of opioid receptors can be divided into two distinct regions. Whereas the lower part of this pocket is highly conserved among opioid receptors, the upper part contains divergent residues that confer subtype selectivity. This provides a structural explanation and validation for the 'message-address' model of opioid receptor pharmacology, in which distinct 'message' (efficacy) and 'address' (selectivity) determinants are contained within a single ligand. Comparison of the address region of the delta-OR with other GPCRs reveals that this structural organization may be a more general phenomenon, extending to other GPCR families as well.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3523198/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3523198/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Granier, Sebastien -- Manglik, Aashish -- Kruse, Andrew C -- Kobilka, Tong Sun -- Thian, Foon Sun -- Weis, William I -- Kobilka, Brian K -- DA031418/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM083118/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R21 DA031418/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2012 May 16;485(7398):400-4. doi: 10.1038/nature11111.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305, USA. granier@stanford.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22596164" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Structure of the human M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor bound to an antagonist (2012)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-01-27
    Description: The parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system regulates the activity of multiple organ systems. Muscarinic receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors that mediate the response to acetylcholine released from parasympathetic nerves. Their role in the unconscious regulation of organ and central nervous system function makes them potential therapeutic targets for a broad spectrum of diseases. The M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M2 receptor) is essential for the physiological control of cardiovascular function through activation of G-protein-coupled inwardly rectifying potassium channels, and is of particular interest because of its extensive pharmacological characterization with both orthosteric and allosteric ligands. Here we report the structure of the antagonist-bound human M2 receptor, the first human acetylcholine receptor to be characterized structurally, to our knowledge. The antagonist 3-quinuclidinyl-benzilate binds in the middle of a long aqueous channel extending approximately two-thirds through the membrane. The orthosteric binding pocket is formed by amino acids that are identical in all five muscarinic receptor subtypes, and shares structural homology with other functionally unrelated acetylcholine binding proteins from different species. A layer of tyrosine residues forms an aromatic cap restricting dissociation of the bound ligand. A binding site for allosteric ligands has been mapped to residues at the entrance to the binding pocket near this aromatic cap. The structure of the M2 receptor provides insights into the challenges of developing subtype-selective ligands for muscarinic receptors and their propensity for allosteric regulation.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3345277/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3345277/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Haga, Kazuko -- Kruse, Andrew C -- Asada, Hidetsugu -- Yurugi-Kobayashi, Takami -- Shiroishi, Mitsunori -- Zhang, Cheng -- Weis, William I -- Okada, Tetsuji -- Kobilka, Brian K -- Haga, Tatsuya -- Kobayashi, Takuya -- GM083118/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R37 NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R37 NS028471-21/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2012 Jan 25;482(7386):547-51. doi: 10.1038/nature10753.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Life Science, Faculty of Science, Gakushuin University, Mejiro 1-5-1, Tokyo 171-8588, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22278061" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Structure of a nanobody-stabilized active state of the beta(2) adrenoceptor (2011)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-01-14
    Description: G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) exhibit a spectrum of functional behaviours in response to natural and synthetic ligands. Recent crystal structures provide insights into inactive states of several GPCRs. Efforts to obtain an agonist-bound active-state GPCR structure have proven difficult due to the inherent instability of this state in the absence of a G protein. We generated a camelid antibody fragment (nanobody) to the human beta(2) adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR) that exhibits G protein-like behaviour, and obtained an agonist-bound, active-state crystal structure of the receptor-nanobody complex. Comparison with the inactive beta(2)AR structure reveals subtle changes in the binding pocket; however, these small changes are associated with an 11 A outward movement of the cytoplasmic end of transmembrane segment 6, and rearrangements of transmembrane segments 5 and 7 that are remarkably similar to those observed in opsin, an active form of rhodopsin. This structure provides insights into the process of agonist binding and activation.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3058308/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3058308/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rasmussen, Soren G F -- Choi, Hee-Jung -- Fung, Juan Jose -- Pardon, Els -- Casarosa, Paola -- Chae, Pil Seok -- Devree, Brian T -- Rosenbaum, Daniel M -- Thian, Foon Sun -- Kobilka, Tong Sun -- Schnapp, Andreas -- Konetzki, Ingo -- Sunahara, Roger K -- Gellman, Samuel H -- Pautsch, Alexander -- Steyaert, Jan -- Weis, William I -- Kobilka, Brian K -- GM083118/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM56169/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P01 GM75913/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P60DK-20572/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM068603/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM083118/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM083118-04/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R37 NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R37 NS028471-21/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2011 Jan 13;469(7329):175-80. doi: 10.1038/nature09648.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology, Stanford University School of Medicine, 279 Campus Drive, Stanford, California 94305, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21228869" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Activation and allosteric modulation of a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (2013)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-11-22
    Description: Despite recent advances in crystallography and the availability of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) structures, little is known about the mechanism of their activation process, as only the beta2 adrenergic receptor (beta2AR) and rhodopsin have been crystallized in fully active conformations. Here we report the structure of an agonist-bound, active state of the human M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor stabilized by a G-protein mimetic camelid antibody fragment isolated by conformational selection using yeast surface display. In addition to the expected changes in the intracellular surface, the structure reveals larger conformational changes in the extracellular region and orthosteric binding site than observed in the active states of the beta2AR and rhodopsin. We also report the structure of the M2 receptor simultaneously bound to the orthosteric agonist iperoxo and the positive allosteric modulator LY2119620. This structure reveals that LY2119620 recognizes a largely pre-formed binding site in the extracellular vestibule of the iperoxo-bound receptor, inducing a slight contraction of this outer binding pocket. These structures offer important insights into the activation mechanism and allosteric modulation of muscarinic receptors.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4020789/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4020789/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kruse, Andrew C -- Ring, Aaron M -- Manglik, Aashish -- Hu, Jianxin -- Hu, Kelly -- Eitel, Katrin -- Hubner, Harald -- Pardon, Els -- Valant, Celine -- Sexton, Patrick M -- Christopoulos, Arthur -- Felder, Christian C -- Gmeiner, Peter -- Steyaert, Jan -- Weis, William I -- Garcia, K Christopher -- Wess, Jurgen -- Kobilka, Brian K -- GM08311806/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- NS02847123/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM008294/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U19 GM106990/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- Intramural NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2013 Dec 5;504(7478):101-6. doi: 10.1038/nature12735.

    Adrenaline-activated structure of beta2-adrenoceptor stabilized by an engineered nanobody (2013)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-09-24
    Description: G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are integral membrane proteins that have an essential role in human physiology, yet the molecular processes through which they bind to their endogenous agonists and activate effector proteins remain poorly understood. So far, it has not been possible to capture an active-state GPCR bound to its native neurotransmitter. Crystal structures of agonist-bound GPCRs have relied on the use of either exceptionally high-affinity agonists or receptor stabilization by mutagenesis. Many natural agonists such as adrenaline, which activates the beta2-adrenoceptor (beta2AR), bind with relatively low affinity, and they are often chemically unstable. Using directed evolution, we engineered a high-affinity camelid antibody fragment that stabilizes the active state of the beta2AR, and used this to obtain crystal structures of the activated receptor bound to multiple ligands. Here we present structures of the active-state human beta2AR bound to three chemically distinct agonists: the ultrahigh-affinity agonist BI167107, the high-affinity catecholamine agonist hydroxybenzyl isoproterenol, and the low-affinity endogenous agonist adrenaline. The crystal structures reveal a highly conserved overall ligand recognition and activation mode despite diverse ligand chemical structures and affinities that range from 100 nM to approximately 80 pM. Overall, the adrenaline-bound receptor structure is similar to the others, but it has substantial rearrangements in extracellular loop three and the extracellular tip of transmembrane helix 6. These structures also reveal a water-mediated hydrogen bond between two conserved tyrosines, which appears to stabilize the active state of the beta2AR and related GPCRs.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3822040/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3822040/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ring, Aaron M -- Manglik, Aashish -- Kruse, Andrew C -- Enos, Michael D -- Weis, William I -- Garcia, K Christopher -- Kobilka, Brian K -- GM08311806/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- NS02847123/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM083118/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R37 NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM008294/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2013 Oct 24;502(7472):575-9. doi: 10.1038/nature12572.

    Structure of active beta-arrestin-1 bound to a G-protein-coupled receptor phosphopeptide (2013)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-04-23
    Description: The functions of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are primarily mediated and modulated by three families of proteins: the heterotrimeric G proteins, the G-protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) and the arrestins. G proteins mediate activation of second-messenger-generating enzymes and other effectors, GRKs phosphorylate activated receptors, and arrestins subsequently bind phosphorylated receptors and cause receptor desensitization. Arrestins activated by interaction with phosphorylated receptors can also mediate G-protein-independent signalling by serving as adaptors to link receptors to numerous signalling pathways. Despite their central role in regulation and signalling of GPCRs, a structural understanding of beta-arrestin activation and interaction with GPCRs is still lacking. Here we report the crystal structure of beta-arrestin-1 (also called arrestin-2) in complex with a fully phosphorylated 29-amino-acid carboxy-terminal peptide derived from the human V2 vasopressin receptor (V2Rpp). This peptide has previously been shown to functionally and conformationally activate beta-arrestin-1 (ref. 5). To capture this active conformation, we used a conformationally selective synthetic antibody fragment (Fab30) that recognizes the phosphopeptide-activated state of beta-arrestin-1. The structure of the beta-arrestin-1-V2Rpp-Fab30 complex shows marked conformational differences in beta-arrestin-1 compared to its inactive conformation. These include rotation of the amino- and carboxy-terminal domains relative to each other, and a major reorientation of the 'lariat loop' implicated in maintaining the inactive state of beta-arrestin-1. These results reveal, at high resolution, a receptor-interacting interface on beta-arrestin, and they indicate a potentially general molecular mechanism for activation of these multifunctional signalling and regulatory proteins.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3654799/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3654799/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shukla, Arun K -- Manglik, Aashish -- Kruse, Andrew C -- Xiao, Kunhong -- Reis, Rosana I -- Tseng, Wei-Chou -- Staus, Dean P -- Hilger, Daniel -- Uysal, Serdar -- Huang, Li-Yin -- Paduch, Marcin -- Tripathi-Shukla, Prachi -- Koide, Akiko -- Koide, Shohei -- Weis, William I -- Kossiakoff, Anthony A -- Kobilka, Brian K -- Lefkowitz, Robert J -- GM072688/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM087519/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- HL 075443/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL16037/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL70631/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P41 RR011823/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL016037/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL070631/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- U01 GM094588/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U54 GM074946/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2013 May 2;497(7447):137-41. doi: 10.1038/nature12120.

    Description: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are responsible for the majority of cellular responses to hormones and neurotransmitters as well as the senses of sight, olfaction and taste. The paradigm of GPCR signalling is the activation of a heterotrimeric GTP binding protein (G protein) by an agonist-occupied receptor. The beta(2) adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR) activation of Gs, the stimulatory G protein for adenylyl cyclase, has long been a model system for GPCR signalling. Here we present the crystal structure of the active state ternary complex composed of agonist-occupied monomeric beta(2)AR and nucleotide-free Gs heterotrimer. The principal interactions between the beta(2)AR and Gs involve the amino- and carboxy-terminal alpha-helices of Gs, with conformational changes propagating to the nucleotide-binding pocket. The largest conformational changes in the beta(2)AR include a 14 A outward movement at the cytoplasmic end of transmembrane segment 6 (TM6) and an alpha-helical extension of the cytoplasmic end of TM5. The most surprising observation is a major displacement of the alpha-helical domain of Galphas relative to the Ras-like GTPase domain. This crystal structure represents the first high-resolution view of transmembrane signalling by a GPCR.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3184188/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3184188/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rasmussen, Soren G F -- DeVree, Brian T -- Zou, Yaozhong -- Kruse, Andrew C -- Chung, Ka Young -- Kobilka, Tong Sun -- Thian, Foon Sun -- Chae, Pil Seok -- Pardon, Els -- Calinski, Diane -- Mathiesen, Jesper M -- Shah, Syed T A -- Lyons, Joseph A -- Caffrey, Martin -- Gellman, Samuel H -- Steyaert, Jan -- Skiniotis, Georgios -- Weis, William I -- Sunahara, Roger K -- Kobilka, Brian K -- GM083118/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM56169/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM75915/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P01 GM75913/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P50GM073210/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P60DK-20572/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM068603/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM068603-01/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM068603-02/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM068603-03/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM068603-04/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM068603-05/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- T32-GM008270/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U54 GM094599/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U54GM094599/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2011 Jul 19;477(7366):549-55. doi: 10.1038/nature10361.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21772288" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Structure and function of an irreversible agonist-beta(2) adrenoceptor complex (2011)

    Description: G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are eukaryotic integral membrane proteins that modulate biological function by initiating cellular signalling in response to chemically diverse agonists. Despite recent progress in the structural biology of GPCRs, the molecular basis for agonist binding and allosteric modulation of these proteins is poorly understood. Structural knowledge of agonist-bound states is essential for deciphering the mechanism of receptor activation, and for structure-guided design and optimization of ligands. However, the crystallization of agonist-bound GPCRs has been hampered by modest affinities and rapid off-rates of available agonists. Using the inactive structure of the human beta(2) adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR) as a guide, we designed a beta(2)AR agonist that can be covalently tethered to a specific site on the receptor through a disulphide bond. The covalent beta(2)AR-agonist complex forms efficiently, and is capable of activating a heterotrimeric G protein. We crystallized a covalent agonist-bound beta(2)AR-T4L fusion protein in lipid bilayers through the use of the lipidic mesophase method, and determined its structure at 3.5 A resolution. A comparison to the inactive structure and an antibody-stabilized active structure (companion paper) shows how binding events at both the extracellular and intracellular surfaces are required to stabilize an active conformation of the receptor. The structures are in agreement with long-timescale (up to 30 mus) molecular dynamics simulations showing that an agonist-bound active conformation spontaneously relaxes to an inactive-like conformation in the absence of a G protein or stabilizing antibody.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3074335/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3074335/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rosenbaum, Daniel M -- Zhang, Cheng -- Lyons, Joseph A -- Holl, Ralph -- Aragao, David -- Arlow, Daniel H -- Rasmussen, Soren G F -- Choi, Hee-Jung -- Devree, Brian T -- Sunahara, Roger K -- Chae, Pil Seok -- Gellman, Samuel H -- Dror, Ron O -- Shaw, David E -- Weis, William I -- Caffrey, Martin -- Gmeiner, Peter -- Kobilka, Brian K -- 50GM073210/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM56169/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM75915/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- M083118/PHS HHS/ -- NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P01 GM75913/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P60DK-20572/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM068603/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R37 NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R37 NS028471-20/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2011 Jan 13;469(7329):236-40. doi: 10.1038/nature09665.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology, Stanford University School of Medicine, 279 Campus Drive, Stanford, California 94305, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21228876" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
