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

Crystal structure of the human 5-HT1B serotonin receptor bound to an inverse agonist.

TL;DR: The inverse agonist-bound 5-HT1BR structure provides a structural understanding of the inactivation mechanism of 5- HT1BR and some other class A GPCRs, characterized by ligand-induced outward movement of the extracellular end of TM6 that is coupled with inward move of the cytoplasmic end of this helix.
Journal ArticleDOI

The structural basis of the dominant negative phenotype of the Gαi1β1γ2 G203A/A326S heterotrimer.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the mutations impede guanine nucleotide binding and Gα-Gβγ protein dissociation and favor the formation of the G protein/GPCR complex, thus blocking signal propagation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ligand-induced activation of ERK1/2 signaling by constitutively active G(s)-coupled 5-HT receptors

TL;DR: It is found that the phosphorylation and activation of ERK1/2 are ligand-induced, in contrast to the constitutively active Gs signaling, which indicates that Gs signaled alone is not sufficient for ERK 1/2 activation in these three 5-HT receptors.
