Title: Structural basis for lysophosphatidic acid recognition and atypical Gα coupling by LPAR5.

Abstract: Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 5 (LPAR5) is a non-endothelial differentiation gene class A G protein-coupled receptor that regulates neuropathic pain, itch, and cancer progression through coupling to ...Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 5 (LPAR5) is a non-endothelial differentiation gene class A G protein-coupled receptor that regulates neuropathic pain, itch, and cancer progression through coupling to G proteins. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of LPAR5 bound to 1-oleoyl-lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in complex with G at 2.96 Å resolution, revealing a distinct mode of receptor activation and G protein coupling. The phosphate headgroup of LPA forms extensive polar interactions with residues from extracellular loop 2 and transmembrane helices TM5-TM7, while the lipid tail inserts into a deep hydrophobic cavity formed by TM3-TM5. Site-directed mutagenesis confirms the functional importance of these interactions. Remarkably, LPAR5 exhibits a noncanonical G protein coupling mode. Unlike previously reported GPCR-G protein structures in which the Gα C-terminal α5 helix ("wavy hook") primarily engages TM6, the wavy hook in LPAR5 is positioned toward the intracellular loop 1-helix 8 interface. This configuration is associated with limited TM6 outward displacement and modest rearrangement at the toggle-switch position (6.48). The resulting interface is stabilized by receptor-specific interactions and supported by functional data. Together, these findings reveal an alternative mode of GPCR-G protein coupling and highlight the structural plasticity underlying signaling specificity in LPA receptors.

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.
