Cryo-EM structure of the oleic acid bound GPR120-Gi 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 PubMedIndividual free fatty acids (FAs) play important roles in metabolic homeostasis, many via engagement with more than 40 GPCRs. Searching for receptors to sense beneficial omega-3 FAs of fish oil enabled the identification of GPR120, involving with a spectrum of metabolic diseases. Here, we report six cryo-EM structures of GPR120 in complex with FA hormones or TUG891 and G(i) or G(iq) trimers. Aromatic residues inside the GPR120 ligand pocket were responsible for recognizing different double-bond positions of these FAs and connect ligand recognition to distinct effector coupling. We also investigated synthetic ligand selectivity and the structural basis of missense single nucleotide polymorphisms. We reveal how GPR120 differentiates rigid double bonds and flexible single bonds and may facilitate rational drug design targeting to GPR120. Unsaturated bond recognition leads to biased signal in a fatty acid receptor.,Mao C, Xiao P, Tao XN, Qin J, He QT, Zhang C, Guo SC, Du YQ, Chen LN, Shen DD, Yang ZS, Zhang HQ, Huang SM, He YH, Cheng J, Zhong YN, Shang P, Chen J, Zhang DL, Wang QL, Liu MX, Li GY, Guo Y, Xu HE, Wang C, Zhang C, Feng S, Yu X, Zhang Y, Sun JP Science. 2023 Mar 2:eadd6220. doi: 10.1126/science.add6220.
