Journal ArticleDOI

Structural Features for Functional Selectivity at Serotonin Receptors

TL;DR: Biochemical studies showing that the hallucinogen lysergic acid diethylamide, its precursor ergotamine (ERG), and related ergolines display strong functional selectivity for β-arrestin signaling at the 5-HT2B 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor, whereas they are relatively unbiased at the 4-HT1B receptor are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

PRESTO-Tango as an open-source resource for interrogation of the druggable human GPCRome

TL;DR: A unique open-source resource is described that allows interrogation of the druggable human GPCRome via a G protein–independent β-arrestin–recruitment assay and its utility for discovering new ligands for orphanhuman GPCRs is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural Basis for Molecular Recognition at Serotonin Receptors

TL;DR: Crystal structures of the human 5-HT1B G protein–coupled receptor bound to the agonist antimigraine medications ergotamine and dihydroergotamine are reported and provide a comprehensive structural basis for understanding receptor-ligand interactions and designing subtype-selective serotonergic drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of the human smoothened receptor bound to an antitumour agent

TL;DR: Although the SMO receptor shares the seven-transmembrane helical fold, most of the conserved motifs for class A GPCRs are absent, and the structure reveals an unusually complex arrangement of long extracellular loops stabilized by four disulphide bonds.
