Title: Structural insight into ligand binding and activation of the orphan GPCR Mas1.

Abstract: The Mas1 receptor, an orphan class A G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), plays pivotal roles in cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory regulation. Despite its therapeutic relevance, the structural ...The Mas1 receptor, an orphan class A G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), plays pivotal roles in cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory regulation. Despite its therapeutic relevance, the structural mechanisms underlying Mas1 ligand binding and activation remain poorly understood. Here, we report cryo-EM structures of Mas1 bound to two chemically distinct agonists-neuropeptide FF (NPFF) and synthetic small-molecule AR234958-captured in complex with inhibitory G proteins. These structures reveal a conserved orthosteric binding pocket accommodating both ligands through shared hydrophobic interactions. Unlike many other class A GPCRs that rely on direct W toggle switch engagement, Mas1 adopts a non-canonical activation strategy driven by a ligand-induced hydrophobic compression plane involving residues Y248, L87, I84, and L266 at the bottom of the ligand binding pocket. This mechanism transmits mechanical tension to promote TM6 displacement and G protein coupling. Functional mutagenesis validates this model, identifying two transmembrane helix 6 (TM6) residues, M244 and F237, as critical molecular switches. Comparative analyses of Mas1-related receptors, MRGPRX1-X4, reveal conserved features and mechanistic divergence within this subfamily. These findings provide a structural framework for understanding Mas1 pharmacology and rational design of selective therapeutics.

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.
