The beta and gamma chains are required for the GTPase activity, for replacement of GDP by GTP, and for G protein-effector interaction (By similarity). Publication Abstract from PubMed Narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) is a chronic neurological disorder that impairs the brain's ability to control sleep-wake cycles. Current therapies are limited to the management of symptoms with modest effectiveness and substantial adverse effects. Agonists of the orexin receptor 2 (OX(2)R) have shown promise as novel therapeutics that directly target the pathophysiology of the disease. However, identification of drug-like OX(2)R agonists has proven difficult. Here we report cryo-electron microscopy structures of active-state OX(2)R bound to an endogenous peptide agonist and a small-molecule agonist. The extended carboxy-terminal segment of the peptide reaches into the core of OX(2)R to stabilize an active conformation, while the small-molecule agonist binds deep inside the orthosteric pocket, making similar key interactions. Comparison with antagonist-bound OX(2)R suggests a molecular mechanism that rationalizes both receptor activation and inhibition. Our results enable structure-based discovery of therapeutic orexin agonists for the treatment of NT1 and other hypersomnia disorders. Structures of active-state orexin receptor 2 rationalize peptide and small-molecule agonist recognition and receptor activation.,Hong C, Byrne NJ, Zamlynny B, Tummala S, Xiao L, Shipman JM, Partridge AT, Minnick C, Breslin MJ, Rudd MT, Stachel SJ, Rada VL, Kern JC, Armacost KA, Hollingsworth SA, O'Brien JA, Hall DL, McDonald TP, Strickland C, Brooun A, Soisson SM, Hollenstein K Nat Commun. 2021 Feb 5;12(1):815. doi: 10.1038/s41467-021-21087-6.
