Abstract

Biased allosteric modulators (BAMs) of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been at the forefront of drug discovery owing to their potential to selectively stimulate therapeutically relevant signaling and avoid on-target side effects. Although structures of GPCRs in complex with G protein or GRK in a BAM-bound state have recently been resolved, revealing that BAM can induce biased signaling by directly modulating interactions between GPCRs and these two transducers, no BAM-bound GPCR-arrestin complex structure has yet been determined, limiting our understanding of the full pharmacological profile of BAMs. Herein, we developed a chemical protein synthesis strategy to generate neurotensin receptor 1 (NTSR1) with defined hexa-phosphorylation at its C-terminus and resolved high-resolution cryo-EM structures (2.65-2.88 Å) of NTSR1 in complex with both β-arrestin1 and the BAM SBI-553. These structures revealed a unique "loop engagement" configuration of β-arrestin1 coupling to NTSR1 in the presence of SBI-553, markedly different from the typical "core engagement" configuration observed in the absence of BAMs. This configuration is characterized by the engagement of the intracellular loop 3 of NTSR1 with a cavity in the central crest of β-arrestin1, representing a previously unobserved, arrestin-selective conformation of GPCR. Our findings fill the critical knowledge gap regarding the regulation of GPCR-arrestin interactions and biased signaling by BAMs, which would advance the development of safer and more efficacious GPCR-targeted therapeutics.

摘要

G蛋白偶联受体(GPCR)的偏向性变构调节剂(BAM)因其有潜力选择性地刺激与治疗相关的信号传导并避免脱靶副作用,一直处于药物研发的前沿。尽管最近已解析出处于BAM结合状态的与G蛋白或GRK复合的GPCR结构,揭示了BAM可通过直接调节GPCR与这两种转导蛋白之间的相互作用来诱导偏向性信号传导,但尚未确定BAM结合的GPCR-阻遏蛋白复合物结构,这限制了我们对BAM完整药理学特征的理解。在此,我们开发了一种化学蛋白质合成策略,以生成在其C末端具有确定的六磷酸化的神经降压素受体1(NTSR1),并解析了与β-阻遏蛋白1和BAM SBI-553复合的NTSR1的高分辨率冷冻电镜结构(2.65 - 2.88 Å)。这些结构揭示了在存在SBI-553的情况下β-阻遏蛋白1与NTSR1偶联的独特“环结合”构型,与在不存在BAM的情况下观察到的典型“核心结合”构型明显不同。这种构型的特征是NTSR1的细胞内环3与β-阻遏蛋白1中央嵴中的一个腔结合,代表了一种以前未观察到的GPCR的阻遏蛋白选择性构象。我们的研究结果填补了关于BAM对GPCR-阻遏蛋白相互作用和偏向性信号传导调节的关键知识空白,这将推动更安全、更有效的GPCR靶向治疗药物的开发。
