Serotonin 4 (5-HT4) receptor-Gi-scFv16 complex
Structural highlights
FunctionGNAI1_HUMAN Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as modulators or transducers in various transmembrane signaling systems. The G(i) proteins are involved in hormonal regulation of adenylate cyclase: they inhibit the cyclase in response to beta-adrenergic stimuli. The inactive GDP-bound form prevents the association of RGS14 with centrosomes and is required for the translocation of RGS14 from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane. May play a role in cell division.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedSerotonin (or 5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is an important neurotransmitter that activates 12 different G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) through selective coupling of G(s), G(i,) or G(q) proteins. The structural basis for G protein subtype selectivity by these GPCRs remains elusive. Here, we report the structures of the serotonin receptors 5-HT(4), 5-HT(6), and 5-HT(7) with G(s), and 5-HT(4) with G(i1). The structures reveal that transmembrane helices TM5 and TM6 alternate lengths as a macro-switch to determine receptor's selectivity for G(s) and G(i), respectively. We find that the macro-switch by the TM5-TM6 length is shared by class A GPCR-G protein structures. Furthermore, we discover specific residues within TM5 and TM6 that function as micro-switches to form specific interactions with G(s) or G(i). Together, these results present a common mechanism of G(s) versus G(i) protein coupling selectivity or promiscuity by class A GPCRs and extend the basis of ligand recognition at serotonin receptors. GPCRs steer G(i) and G(s) selectivity via TM5-TM6 switches as revealed by structures of serotonin receptors.,Huang S, Xu P, Shen DD, Simon IA, Mao C, Tan Y, Zhang H, Harpsoe K, Li H, Zhang Y, You C, Yu X, Jiang Y, Zhang Y, Gloriam DE, Xu HE Mol Cell. 2022 Jul 21;82(14):2681-2695.e6. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2022.05.031. , Epub 2022 Jun 16.
