Citation | Journal: Nat Chem Biol / Year: 2020Title: Activation of the α adrenoceptor by the sedative sympatholytic dexmedetomidine. Authors: Daopeng Yuan / Zhongmin Liu / Jonas Kaindl / Shoji Maeda / Jiawei Zhao / Xiaoou Sun / Jun Xu / Peter Gmeiner / Hong-Wei Wang / Brian K Kobilka / ![]() Abstract: The α adrenergic receptors (αARs) are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that respond to adrenaline and noradrenaline and couple to the Gi/o family of G proteins. αARs play important roles in ...The α adrenergic receptors (αARs) are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that respond to adrenaline and noradrenaline and couple to the Gi/o family of G proteins. αARs play important roles in regulating the sympathetic nervous system. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective αAR agonist used in post-operative patients as an anxiety-reducing, sedative medicine that decreases the requirement for opioids. As is typical for selective αAR agonists, dexmedetomidine consists of an imidazole ring and a substituted benzene moiety lacking polar groups, which is in contrast to βAR-selective agonists, which share an ethanolamine group and an aromatic system with polar, hydrogen-bonding substituents. To better understand the structural basis for the selectivity and efficacy of adrenergic agonists, we determined the structure of the αAR in complex with dexmedetomidine and Go at a resolution of 2.9 Å by single-particle cryo-EM. The structure reveals the mechanism of αAR-selective activation and provides insights into Gi/o coupling specificity. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
