Crystal structure of rhodopsin bound to arrestin by femtosecond X-ray laser

Yanyong Kang, +71 more
- 30 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: The crystal structure of a constitutively active form of human rhodopsin bound to a pre-activated form of the mouse visual arrestin is determined by serial femtosecond X-ray laser crystallography and provides a basis for understanding GPCR-mediated arrestin-biased signalling.
Journal ArticleDOI

A complex structure of arrestin-2 bound to a G protein-coupled receptor.

TL;DR: The structure of Arr2 in complex with neurotensin receptor 1 (NTSR1) is reported, which reveals an overall assembly that is strikingly different from the visual arrestin–rhodopsin complex by a 90° rotation of ArR2 relative to the receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and mechanism for recognition of peptide hormones by Class B G-protein-coupled receptors

TL;DR: The general structural principles that guide hormone binding by Class B ECDs are summarized and their implications in the design of peptide hormone analogs for therapeutic purposes are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural Basis for Hormone Recognition by the Human CRFR2α G Protein-coupled Receptor

TL;DR: The purified N-terminal extracellular domains of human CRFR1 and the CRFR2α isoform are sufficient to discriminate the peptides and provide a molecular template for the rational design of therapeutic agents selectively targeting these receptors.
