Atypical chemokine receptor subtype 3 (ACKR3), a chemokine receptor, couples selectively to β-arrestins (βarrs) but not to G proteins despite having seven transmembrane (7TM) helix architecture. Yen et al. present cryogenic-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of agonist-bound ACKR3, elucidating a distinct chemokine-binding mechanism, and offering a structural template to probe the transducer-coupling bias at this receptor.
非典型趋化因子受体亚型 3(ACKR3)是一种趋化因子受体,尽管具有七个跨膜(7TM)螺旋结构,但选择性地与β-arrestins(βarrs)偶联,而不与 G 蛋白偶联。Yen 等人介绍了激动剂结合的 ACKR3 的低温电子显微镜(cryo-EM)结构,阐明了一种独特的趋化因子结合机制,并提供了一个结构模板来探测该受体的转导偶联偏向。
