Function
C562_ECOLX Electron-transport protein of unknown function.5HT2A_HUMAN G-protein coupled receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) (PubMed:1330647, PubMed:18703043, PubMed:19057895). Also functions as a receptor for various drugs and psychoactive substances, including mescaline, psilocybin, 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI) and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) (PubMed:28129538). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors (PubMed:28129538). Beta-arrestin family members inhibit signaling via G proteins and mediate activation of alternative signaling pathways (PubMed:28129538). Signaling activates phospholipase C and a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system that modulates the activity of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and promotes the release of Ca(2+) ions from intracellular stores (PubMed:18703043, PubMed:28129538). Affects neural activity, perception, cognition and mood (PubMed:18297054). Plays a role in the regulation of behavior, including responses to anxiogenic situations and psychoactive substances. Plays a role in intestinal smooth muscle contraction, and may play a role in arterial vasoconstriction.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for human JC polyomavirus/JCPyV.[8]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Partial agonist activity at the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) is a key feature of third-generation antipsychotics (TGAs). However, TGAs also act as antagonists or weak partial agonists to the serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) 2A receptor (5-HT2AR). Here we present the crystal structures of aripiprazole- and cariprazine-bound human 5-HT2AR. Both TGAs adopt an unexpected 'upside-down' pose in the 5-HT2AR binding pocket, with secondary pharmacophores inserted in a similar way to a 'bolt'. This insight into the binding modes of TGAs offered a structural mechanism underlying their varied partial efficacies at 5-HT2AR and DRD2. These structures enabled the design of a partial agonist at DRD2/3 and 5-HT1AR with negligible 5-HT2AR binding that displayed potent antipsychotic-like activity without motor side effects in mice. This TGA lead also had antidepressant-like effects and improved cognitive performance in mouse models via 5-HT1AR. This work indicates that 5-HT2AR affinity is a dispensable contributor to the therapeutic actions of TGAs.
