Abstract: Proton sensing by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is crucial in many life activities. However, its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we report 8 cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) ...Proton sensing by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is crucial in many life activities. However, its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we report 8 cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of human GPR4 and GPR68 at different pH values and in complex with Gs or Gq trimers or in apo state. Structural inspection, structure-based pKa calculations, and mutational and computational analyses revealed that protonation of two conserved extracellular histidines induced polar network formation and other conformational changes to tether 7-transmembrane (TM7) to second extracellular loop (ECL2), and these changes constitute the central mechanisms of proton-induced activation of GPR4 and GPR68. Unexpectedly, proton sensation by specific extracellular histidine determined biased G protein coupling of GPR4. Moreover, GPR68's additional pH-sensing H84 enhances its function in a more acidic optimal pH range. The propagation path connecting proton-sensing histidines to the toggle switch was characterized. Collectively, we provide structural insights into the proton sensing, activation, and downstream effector coupling mechanisms of proton-sensing GPCRs.

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.
