  1. G PROTEIN COUPLED RECEPTORS

  2. GPCR FAMILY • CLASS A STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS • TASTE RECEPTORS • CONCLUSIONS & QUESTIONS

  3. GPCRS. OVERVIEW • Also known as 7TM receptors • Largest family of proteins in the human genome (Nearly 1000 such receptors are though to be present ) • Mediate signal transduction by recognizing different stimuli such as photons of light, biogenic amines, peptides…. • Mediates responses to visual, olfactory, hormonal, neurotransmitter and others… • Involved in many different diseases so half of the drug targets in the pharmaceutical industry are GPCRs

  4. Membrane proteins with seven transmembrane domains • Upon activation, signal gets transmitted to the cytoplasmatic face and amplifies through heterotrimeric G protein complex

  5. GPCRS. OVERVIEW (II) • Very hard-to-crystalize proteins • First high resolution cristal was Rhodopsin • Currently just four groups of proteins have an available PDB structure • Three differentiated regions: extracellular, transmembrane and intracelullar

  6. GPCRS. STRUCTURAL OVERVIEW (III) • There is a large gap in experimental GPCR structural space • Currently just 5 groups of GPCRs structurally solved • ADENOSINE-2A RECEPTOR • β-1 ADRENERGIC RECEPTOR • β-2 ADRENERGIC RECEPTOR • RHODOPSIN • RHODOPSIN (ALL OF THEM BELONGING TO CLASS A GPCRs)

  9. CLASS A - STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS • Main common regions: • N-terminus • Extracellular loops (ECL1, 2, 3) • Transmembrane Helices (TMH1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8) • Intracellular loops (ICL1, 2, 3) • C-terminus • Some structural features are shared by all • Pro distortions in TMHs 4,5,6 and 7 • Disulphide bridge between TMH3 and ECL2 • Some other features are either unique to a particular receptor or shared by a subset (i.e specific loop conformation) • The most distinct features are observed in the extracellular and intracellular loops

CLASS A - STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS • ADENOSIN RECEPTORS • Highly constrained by four disulfide bridges and multiple ligand binding interactions • Three out of the four disulfide bridges constrain the position of ECL2 anchoring this loop to ECL1 and the top of TMH3 • The former three disulfide bridges probably stabilize a short helical segment N terminal of TMH5 containing Phe168 and Glu169 . This segment is considered to be an important region for ligand binding
