Abstract: The conceptual framework of biased agonism has greatly impacted our understanding of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling, regulatory paradigms, and drug discovery efforts. Here, we present ...The conceptual framework of biased agonism has greatly impacted our understanding of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling, regulatory paradigms, and drug discovery efforts. Here, we present fundamental molecular and structural insights into intrinsic bias encoded at the human and mouse complement anaphylatoxin C5a receptors, namely C5aR1 and C5aR2. We discover that a naturally occurring version of C5a, i.e., C5a, exhibits a robust G-protein-coupling bias at C5aR1 with attenuated β-arrestin (βarr) recruitment, which originates from a distinct conformation of TM7 and helix 8 in the receptor, leading to inefficient GRK recruitment and phosphorylation. We also determine a series of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of C5aR2, a naturally encoded βarr-biased receptor, which uncover key differences in anaphylatoxin recognition by C5aR2 relative to C5aR1. These structural snapshots also uncover a shallower cytoplasmic pocket in C5aR2 with a hydrophobic interior, which is likely incompatible with efficient G-protein coupling, leading to intrinsic bias. Our findings illuminate the molecular basis of naturally encoded signaling bias at GPCRs, with direct implications for therapeutic design.

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.
