Abstract: Purinergic P2Y2 receptor (P2Y2R) represents a typically extracellular ATP and UTP sensor for mediating purinergic signaling. Despite its importance as a pharmacological target, the molecular ...Purinergic P2Y2 receptor (P2Y2R) represents a typically extracellular ATP and UTP sensor for mediating purinergic signaling. Despite its importance as a pharmacological target, the molecular mechanisms underlying ligand recognition and G-protein coupling have remained elusive due to lack of structural information. In this study, we determined the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of the apo P2Y2R in complex with G, ATP-bound P2Y2R in complex with G or G, and UTP-bound P2Y4R in complex with G. These structures reveal the similarities and distinctions of ligand recognition within the P2Y receptor family. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis of G-protein coupling reveals that P2Y2R exhibits promiscuity in coupling with both G and G proteins. Combining molecular dynamics simulations and signaling assays, we elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which P2Y2R differentiates pathway-specific G or G coupling through distinct structural components on the intracellular side. Strikingly, we identify a helix-like segment within the N-terminus that occupies the orthosteric ligand-binding pocket of P2Y2R, accounting for its self-activation. Taken together, these findings provide a molecular framework for understanding the activation mechanism of P2Y2R, encompassing ligand recognition, G-protein coupling, and a novel N-terminus-mediated self-activation mechanism.

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.
