Abstract: Opioid analgesics provide potent pain relief but are limited by severe adverse effects, tolerance, and interindividual genetic variability in response. Poly-pharmacology and allosteric modulation of ...Opioid analgesics provide potent pain relief but are limited by severe adverse effects, tolerance, and interindividual genetic variability in response. Poly-pharmacology and allosteric modulation of opioid receptors offer promising strategies to enhance analgesic efficacy while mitigating these limitations. Pan-positive allosteric modulators (pan-PAMs), which simultaneously potentiate multiple opioid receptor subtypes, integrate the advantages of both approaches and represent an emerging therapeutic paradigm for pain management. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying pan-PAM activity at opioid receptors remain poorly understood. Here, we characterize BMS-986187 as a pan-PAM of opioid receptors and report the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of multiple opioid receptor subtypes bound to this modulator, revealing a previously unidentified allosteric pocket. Structural and functional analyses revealed a conserved binding motif that mediates PAM recognition across the opioid receptor family and revealed the essential contributions of key opioid receptor residues to allosteric modulation by BMS-986187. Functionally, BMS-986187 enhances analgesic efficacy through an opioid-sparing effect, allowing lower opioid doses and reducing side effects, while restoring activity in loss-of-function (LOF) μ-opioid receptor variants. These findings define a previously unrecognized allosteric site in opioid receptors and establish a structural framework for the rational design of safer and more effective opioid therapeutics through allosteric modulation.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

  • The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
  • The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.
