Title: Structural basis for the constitutive activity of the melanocortin receptor family.
Authors: Wenbo Feng / Qingtong Zhou / Chang Zheng / Dehua Yang / Ming-Wei Wang /
Abstract: The constitutive activity of melanocortin receptors (MCRs) is integral to several physiological processes. The unliganded cryo-electron microscopy structures of MC1R, MC2R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R in ...The constitutive activity of melanocortin receptors (MCRs) is integral to several physiological processes. The unliganded cryo-electron microscopy structures of MC1R, MC2R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R in complex with G proteins determined at global resolutions of 2.98 Å, 3.01 Å, 2.75 Å, 3.12 Å, and 2.86 Å, respectively, revealed that their binding poses and interactions with G are similar to those of agonist-bound MCRs. The extracellular regions of the transmembrane helices (TMs) exhibit distinct conformational rearrangements, characterized by varying shifts of TM3 and outward displacements of TM4. These variations represent unique structural features of constitutively activated MCRs. Unassigned electron densities were observed within the orthosteric pockets where extensive interactions with cognate ligands occur. In addition, zinc ions, but not calcium, positively regulated MC4R activity in a dose-dependent manner. Our findings provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying MCR basal activity and highlight the role of divalent ions in receptor activation.

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.
