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

Activation of the A2A adenosine G-protein-coupled receptor by conformational selection

TL;DR: Direct observation of the conformational equilibria of ligand-dependent G-protein-coupled receptor and deduction of the underlying mechanisms of receptor activation will have wide-reaching implications for the understanding of the function of G- proteins in health and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cryo-EM structure of human rhodopsin bound to an inhibitory G protein

TL;DR: It is shown that the major interactions between activated rhodopsin and Gi are mediated by the C-terminal helix of the Gi α-subunit, which is wedged into the cytoplasmic cavity of the transmembrane helix bundle and directly contacts the amino terminus of helix 8 of rhodopin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of the receptor-catalyzed activation of heterotrimeric G proteins.

TL;DR: These data provide the first direct observation of R*-mediated conformational changes in G proteins and define the structural basis for GDP release from G α using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.
