In the present study, we solved the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the human CCR8-G complex in the absence of a ligand at 2.58 Å. Structural analysis and comparison revealed that our apo CCR8 structure undergoes some conformational changes and is similar to that in the CCL1-CCR8 complex structure, indicating an active state. In addition, the key residues of CCR8 involved in the recognition of LMD-009, a potent nonpeptide agonist, were investigated by mutating CCR8 and testing the calcium flux induced by LMD-009-CCR8 interaction. Three mutants of CCR8, Y113A, Y172A, and E286A, showed a dramatically decreased ability in mediating calcium mobilization, indicating their key interaction with LMD-009 and key roles in activation. These structural and biochemical analyses enrich molecular insights into the agonism and activation of CCR8 and will facilitate CCR8-targeted therapy. |
