== Publication Abstract from PubMed == | |||
Endothelin system comprises three endogenous 21-amino-acid peptide ligands endothelin-1, -2, and -3 (ET-1/2/3), and two G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) subtypes-endothelin receptor A (ET(A)R) and B (ET(B)R). Since ET-1, the first endothelin, was identified in 1988 as one of the most potent endothelial cell-derived vasoconstrictor peptides with long-lasting actions, the endothelin system has attracted extensive attention due to its critical role in vasoregulation and close relevance in cardiovascular-related diseases. Here we present three cryo-electron microscopy structures of ET(A)R and ET(B)R bound to ET-1 and ET(B)R bound to the selective peptide IRL1620. These structures reveal a highly conserved recognition mode of ET-1 and characterize the ligand selectivity by ETRs. They also present several conformation features of the active ETRs, thus revealing a specific activation mechanism. Together, these findings deepen our understanding of endothelin system regulation and offer an opportunity to design selective drugs targeting specific ETR subtypes. | |||
