Abstract: Bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) are considered attractive drug targets. However, the ligand recognition and selectivity of these receptors remain elusive, hampering their drug development. Here we ...Bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) are considered attractive drug targets. However, the ligand recognition and selectivity of these receptors remain elusive, hampering their drug development. Here we present seven structures of human T2R14 and T2R46 in apo or ligand-bound state. Combined with molecular docking and mutagenesis data, the structures reveal an extracellular ligand-binding site in T2R14 for most of its ligands, which is different from the intracellular binding site reported recently. In contrast, T2R46 exhibits a conserved binding pocket that accommodates various ligands with distinct interaction patterns. Furthermore, the second extracellular loop in T2R14 and T2R46 acts as a tethered agonist to potentially facilitate agonist response of these two receptors to the weak tastant agonists. These findings could accelerate drug discovery targeting T2Rs.

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.
