Title: Cryo-EM Structures and AlphaFold3 Models of Histamine Receptors Reveal Diverse Ligand Binding and G Protein Bias.

Abstract: The four subtypes of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulated by histamine play critical roles in various physiological and pathological processes, such as allergy, gastric acid secretion, ... The four subtypes of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulated by histamine play critical roles in various physiological and pathological processes, such as allergy, gastric acid secretion, cognitive and sleep disorders, and inflammation. Previous experimental structures of histamine receptors (HRs) with agonists and antagonists exhibited multiple conformations for the ligands and G protein binding. However, the structural basis for HR regulation and signaling remains elusive. We determined the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the H4R-histamine-Gi complex at 2.9 Å resolution, and predicted the models for all four HRs in the ligand-free apo and G protein subtype binding states using AlphaFold3 (AF3). By comparing our H4R structure with the experimental HR structures and the computational AF3 models, we elucidated the distinct histamine binding modes and G protein interfaces, and proposed the essential roles of Y and Q in receptor activation and the intracellular loop 2 (ICL2) in G protein bias. Our findings deciphered the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of different HRs, from the extracellular ligand-binding pockets and transmembrane motifs to the intracellular G protein coupling interfaces. These insights are expected to facilitate selective drug discovery targeting HRs for diverse therapeutic purposes.

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.
