ET(B) signaling induces reactive astrocytes in the brain and vasorelaxation in vascular smooth muscle. Consequently, ET(B) agonists are expected to be drugs for neuroprotection and improved anti-tumor drug delivery. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the endothelin-1-ET(B)-G(i) complex at 2.8 A resolution, with complex assembly stabilized by a newly established method. Comparisons with the inactive ET(B) receptor structures revealed how endothelin-1 activates the ET(B) receptor. The NPxxY motif, essential for G-protein activation, is not conserved in ET(B), resulting in a unique structural change upon G-protein activation. Compared with other GPCR-G-protein complexes, ET(B) binds G(i) in the shallowest position, further expanding the diversity of G-protein binding modes. This structural information will facilitate the elucidation of G-protein activation and the rational design of ET(B) agonists.
