Title: Structural basis of β-arrestin coupling and transducer selectivity in PAC1R.
Authors: Min Zhang / Xin Li / Qing-Ning Yuan / Wen Hu / H Eric Xu / Li-Hua Zhao /
Abstract: The pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide receptor (PAC1R) is a class B G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that engages both G proteins and β-arrestins to mediate diverse signaling ...The pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide receptor (PAC1R) is a class B G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that engages both G proteins and β-arrestins to mediate diverse signaling responses, yet how PAC1R adopts distinct intracellular conformations to achieve this transducer selectivity remains poorly understood. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of PAC1R in complex with β-arrestin 1 (βarr1), revealing a core-engaged conformation. Comparison with the G-bound PAC1R structure shows that βarr1 engagement is associated with remodeling of the intracellular transmembrane bundle, including TM5 reorientation and inward movement of TM6, resulting in a receptor core geometry distinct from that of the G protein-bound state. Comparison with the βarr1-bound parathyroid hormone receptor 1 (PTH1R) structure further reveals both conserved and receptor-specific features of βarr1 engagement. Although outward displacement of the TM5 cytoplasmic end is observed in both PAC1R-βarr1 and PTH1R-βarr1 complexes, its specific direction and the resulting TM5-TM6 rearrangements differ between receptors, correlating with distinct βarr1 finger loop orientations within the receptor core. Together, these findings suggest that β-arrestin core engagement by class B GPCRs is accompanied by receptor-specific intracellular remodeling that may contribute to transducer selectivity in PAC1R.

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.

Yorodumi

Thousand views of thousand structures

  • Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
  • This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
  • The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
