Ion channel-linked (ionotropic) receptors These receptors are typically the targets of fast neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine (nicotinic) and GABA; activation of these receptors results in changes in ion movement across a membrane. Ionotropic receptors 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor#Structural highlights/Specific Function of 5-HT3 The extracellular subunit interface of the 5-HT3 receptors: a computational alanine scanning mutagenesis study 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor#5-HT3 receptor antagonists 5-HT3 receptor The 5-HT3 receptor is bullet-shaped and consists of 5 subunits (A-E) that form an oligomer. In the center of this pentamer of subunits is a ligand-gated ion channel full of water, which the 5 subunits enclose pseudo-symmetrically. Each subunit of the 5-HT3 receptor consists of 3 regions; the extracellular region, the transmembrane region, and the intracellular region. The extracellular region is relatively large compared to the other 2 regions, and contains a short C-terminus and a larger N-terminus. The N-terminus of the extracellular region is where the ligand binding occurs, and therefore deals with the agonists and antagonists. These binding sites are located between 2 bordering subunits, assembled from 3 α-helices of 1 subunit and 3 β-strands from the other subunit. Such connection creates a binding pocket with a small, select number of residues from each subunit pointed into the binding pocket, as opposed to the large remainder of residues that are pointing away from the binding pocket. This binding pocket shrinks around agonists, encapsulating them, and widens around antagonists, repulsing them. The transmembrane region is within the C-terminus region, and contains 4 α-helical domains within it (M1-M4) that stretch the length of this inner, transmembrane area. These 4 α-helical domains conduct the channel openings via ion selectivity, depending on both charge and size. M2, the porous domain, contains rings of charged amino acids at both its start and its end, accounting for M2’s main contribution to ion selectivity. The M3 and M4 α-helices create a large loop with one another, thus assembling the intracellular region. Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors in general The receptor is a transmembrane pentameric glycoprotein. It cylindrical in appearance by electron microscopy approximately 16nm in length and 8nm in diameter. The main ion channel is composed of a water pore that runs through the entire length of the protein. If viewed from the synaptic cleft, the protein will look like a pseudo-symmetrical rosette shown in the picture below composed of 10 different alpha and 4 different beta subunits. Side view.

Binding site of AChR Acetylcholine Receptor and its Reaction to Cobra Venom When cobra venom is introduced into the body is moves along the bloodstream to a diaphragm muscle. It works as a postsynaptic neurotoxin binding to the receptor as an extracellular ligand by interacting with OH group leaving the acetyl choline channel open which releases ions used in creating an action potential. Without the ions the diaphragm muscle can not be activated to contract and will not move so an individual can not take a breath. There must be 5 molecules of cobra toxin (red) to block the receptor (blue) as each molecule binds with an individual alpha chain on the acetylcholine receptor. This molecule was generated by overlaying the receptor and venom using Swiss PDB viewer magic fit. The RMS (root mean square difference) of this overlay if 12.21 angstroms involving 185 different atoms. The second image depicts an individual toxin binding with one chain on the receptor, both in the same color. Cobra Venom Interaction with Acetylcholine Receptor This representation shows each molecule of the Cobra toxin binding to one chain of the receptor. AMPA glutamate receptor by University of Massachusetts Amherst Chemistry-Biology Interface Program at UMass Amherst and on display at the Molecular Playground. Full view of the glutamate receptor shows the overall structure (amino-terminal, ligand-binding and transmembrane domains) in both ribbon (MF) and spacefilling models. Zooming in at the top of the receptor (Amino Terminal Domains) (RCB) one can view the amino terminal domain, which is a part of the extracellular domain. This domain is implicated in receptor assembly, trafficking, and localization. Moving toward the bottom of the receptor (Transmembrane Domain) (SM) one can view the transmembrane domain. Here is the same domain separated from the rest of the protein.Transmembrane Domain (DM). This domain widens in response to glutamate binding allowing for positive ions to pass through the post-synaptic membrane. This view (receptor antagonist) highlights the area where a receptor antagonist, 2K200225, will bind. Close up view of the ligand binding site (Glutamate Binding) (AH) of the endogenous ligand glutamate. Glutamate receptor (GluA2) G protein-linked (metabotropic) receptors This is the largest family of receptors and includes the receptors for several hormones and slow transmitters (dopamine, metabotropic glutamate). They are composed of 7 transmembrane alpha helices. The loops connecting the alpha helices form extracellular and intracellular domains. The binding-site for larger peptide ligands is usually located in the extracellular domain whereas the binding site for smaller non-peptide ligands is often located between the seven alpha helices and one extracellular loop. These receptors are coupled to different intracellular effector systems via G proteins G protein-coupled receptors Neurotensin receptor Like other G protein-coupled receptors, NTSR1 is composed of 3 distinct regions. An extracellular binding site where neurotensin binds and causes a conformational change of the protein. A region containing 7 transmembrane alpha helices (PDB code:4GRV) that transduce the signal from the extracellular side of the cell membrane to the intracellular side. Lastly, an intracellular region that when activated by a conformational change in the protein activates a G-protein associated with this receptor. The hydrophobic binding pocket in NTSR1 is located at the top of the protein (Figure 1). NTSR1 also contains an allosteric sodium binding pocket, which is located directly beneath the ligand binding pocket and the two pockets, which are separated by the residue Trp321. NTSR1 has been mutated to exist in both active and active-like states. CXC chemokine receptor type 4 Ligand binding cavity with antagonist citrulline (PDB code 3oe0).
