GPCRs Flashcards
Location of 11-Cis Retinal on Rhodopsin
Lys296 on TM7
Asp79 and Asp113 on TM3
Mouse fibroblast L cell line
Asp113
Conservative (x300 decrease) and non-conservative (x8000) decreases in affinity
Asp79
mutation appeared more critical for efficacy
Ser204 and Ser 207 on TM5
S204 and S207 determined to face binding site as only one helical turn apart
S120/165/203 mutations unsuccessful- did not produce immunoreactive protein
Antagonist activity unaffected- lacks a catechol group
TM5 interactions crucial for conformational change
Ser203
HEK293 cells
Confirmed in all catecholamine receptors
MTSEA binding confirmed Ser203 faces the binding crevice, only binds Ser203
Ser203Cys
- Partial agonists greatest reduction in affinity
- Mutant HAL agonist lacking mOH greatest reduction
- does not affect HAL- without pOH
Asn293
Asn293Leu Faces binding site when applied to bacteriorhodopsin structure Stereospecific to R- isomer Greater for full vs. partial agonists Did not affect antagonists
Purpose of Fabs
Increase crystallisation by hiding hydrophobic regions e.g. cytoplasmic loops, increasing crystal contact
Purpose of T4 Lysozymes
Inserted into EC loops to increase crystal contact and resolution
Active rhodopsin structure
Opsin structure resolved
Determined TM3 and TM6 displacement
Opsin crystals soaked in retinal; 11-cis-retinal destroyed crystals by inducing conformational change
Nb80 for active state B2AR
Similar to g-protein in WT and T4L stabilised receptors (mBBr reporter)
Interacts with TM3, 5-7
Structural change in B2AR activation
Outward displacement of TM5 and 6
Inward movement of TM3 and 7
Nb6B9
10x affinity of Nb80 (allowed greater resolution)
Tyr219-Tyr326 H bond mediated by water molecules in active state-similar to ionic lock
Actual interactions of B2AR after active state resolution
BetaOH Asp113
Amine Group Asp113 and Tyr316 (TM7)
Catechol group Ser203=mOH and Ser207=pOH
Ser204 and Asn293 actual role
Extended H-bond network with His296 (TM6) which interacts with catechol group in its entirety
Ser207
Side-chain rotation in Pro288 acts as a hinge region
Adenosine Receptor (EC binding)
Interacts with 4 EC residues, notably Phe168(Loop 2) and Glu169 (loop 3)
Na acts as NAM by binding residues in a water-filled pocket, collapses on activation
