Abstract: The M muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M mAChR) represents a promising therapeutic target for neurological disorders. However, the high conservation of its orthosteric binding site poses ...The M muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M mAChR) represents a promising therapeutic target for neurological disorders. However, the high conservation of its orthosteric binding site poses significant challenges for drug development. While selective positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) offer a potential solution, a structural understanding of the M mAChR and its allosteric binding sites remains limited. Here, we present a 2.8 Å cryo-electron microscopy structure of the M mAChR complexed with heterotrimeric G protein and the agonist iperoxo, completing the active-state structural characterization of the mAChR family. To identify the binding site of M-selective PAMs, we implement an integrated approach combining mutagenesis, pharmacological assays, structural biology, and molecular dynamics simulations. Our mutagenesis studies reveal that selective M PAMs bind outside previously characterized M mAChR allosteric sites. Subsequently, we obtain a 2.1 Å structure of M mAChR co-bound with acetylcholine and the selective PAM VU6007678, revealing an allosteric pocket at the extrahelical interface between transmembrane domains 3 and 4 that is confirmed through mutagenesis and simulations. These findings demonstrate the diverse mechanisms of allosteric regulation in mAChRs and highlight the value of integrating pharmacological and structural approaches to identify allosteric binding sites.

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.
