Citation | Journal: Cell Rep / Year: 2024Title: Structural basis of ligand specificity and channel activation in an insect gustatory receptor. Authors: Heather M Frank / Sanket Walujkar / Richard M Walsh / Willem J Laursen / Douglas L Theobald / Paul A Garrity / Rachelle Gaudet / ![]() Abstract: Gustatory receptors (GRs) are critical for insect chemosensation and are potential targets for controlling pests and disease vectors, making their structural investigation a vital step toward such ...Gustatory receptors (GRs) are critical for insect chemosensation and are potential targets for controlling pests and disease vectors, making their structural investigation a vital step toward such applications. We present structures of Bombyx mori Gr9 (BmGr9), a fructose-gated cation channel, in agonist-free and fructose-bound states. BmGr9 forms a tetramer similar to distantly related insect odorant receptors (ORs). Upon fructose binding, BmGr9's channel gate opens through helix S7b movements. In contrast to ORs, BmGr9's ligand-binding pocket, shaped by a kinked helix S4 and a shorter extracellular S3-S4 loop, is larger and solvent accessible in both agonist-free and fructose-bound states. Also, unlike ORs, fructose binding by BmGr9 involves helix S5 and a pocket lined with aromatic and polar residues. Structure-based sequence alignments reveal distinct patterns of ligand-binding pocket residue conservation in GR subfamilies associated with different ligand classes. These data provide insight into the molecular basis of GR ligand specificity and function. #1: Journal: bioRxiv / Year: 2023 Title: Structure of an insect gustatory receptor.

However, GR structures have not been experimentally determined. We present structures of Gr9 (BmGr9), a fructose-gated cation channel, in agonist-free and fructose-bound states. BmGr9 forms a tetramer similar to distantly related insect Olfactory Receptors (ORs). Upon fructose binding, BmGr9's ion channel gate opens through helix S7b movements. In contrast to ORs, BmGR9's ligand-binding pocket, shaped by a kinked helix S4 and a shorter extracellular S3-S4 loop, is larger and solvent accessible in both agonist-free and fructose-bound states.
