Previously reported crystal structures of CXCR4 revealed the architecture of an inactive, homodimeric receptor. However, many structural aspects of CXCR4 remain poorly understood. Here, we use cryo-electron microscopy to investigate various modes of human CXCR4 regulation. CXCL12 activates CXCR4 by inserting its N terminus deep into the CXCR4 orthosteric pocket. The binding of US Food and Drug Administration-approved antagonist AMD3100 is stabilized by electrostatic interactions with acidic residues in the seven-transmembrane-helix bundle. A potent antibody blocker, REGN7663, binds across the extracellular face of CXCR4 and inserts its complementarity-determining region H3 loop into the orthosteric pocket. Trimeric and tetrameric structures of CXCR4 reveal modes of G-protein-coupled receptor oligomerization. We show that CXCR4 adopts distinct subunit conformations in trimeric and tetrameric assemblies, highlighting how oligomerization could allosterically regulate chemokine receptor function. |
