The activation of AC9 is highly regulated by GPCR signaling. For example, AC9 is activated by the binding of Gαs, which, in turn, is activated by Gs-driven GPCRs. The structure of bovine AC9 (bAC9) was reported in 2019 using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). The structure of human AC9 (hAC9), however, has not been reported to date despite its potential benefit for drug development. Here, we analyzed the structures of hAC9 and hAC9 in complex with Gαs (hAC9-Gαs) using single-particle cryo-EM. The soluble domain of AC9-Gαs, the transmembrane (TM) domain of AC9-Gαs, and AC9 alone were analyzed at resolutions of 2.7 Å, 3.4 Å, and 3.2 Å, respectively. The results revealed three key aspects of the activation mechanism of hAC9 and its cAMP-generating function. First, a conformational change of the soluble domain was observed upon Gαs binding, resulting in a widely open catalytic site. Second, we analyzed the exact position of the C-terminus occluding the catalytic site in the hAC9-Gαs complex. Finally, we unexpectedly identified an elongated density suggestive of a single acyl chain in the TM domain. Consistent with recent reports on the allosteric regulation of AC by lipids, this finding suggests that the TM domain could serve as a potential drug target.These structural findings enhance our understanding of the structure and function of AC9 and other ACs and will provide a foundation for future AC-target drug discovery. |
