Contribution of binding enthalpy and entropy to affinity of antagonist and agonist binding at human and guinea pig histamine H(1)-receptor.
For several GPCRs, discrimination between agonism and antagonism is possible on the basis of thermodynamics parameters, such as binding enthalpy and entropy. In this study, we analyze whether agonists and antagonists can also be discriminated thermodynamically at the histamine H(1) receptor (H(1)R). Because previous studies revealed species differences in pharmacology between human H(1)R (hH(1)...
متن کاملConsiderations in the evaluation of inverse agonism and protean agonism at G protein-coupled receptors.
Over the past decade it has become accepted that G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) can activate G proteins and thus initiate signaling in the absence of agonist; this spontaneous receptor activity can be inhibited to varying degrees by antagonists, a phenomenon termed inverse ugonism. The modulation of spontaneous GPCR activity by the binding of specific ligands implies that receptors can int...
متن کاملConformational ensemble view of G protein-coupled receptors and the effect of mutations and ligand binding.
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are integral membrane proteins that can convert an extracellular signal into multiple intracellular signaling processes. This pleiotropy of GPCRs is enabled by their structural flexibility manifested in thermally accessible multiple conformations, each of which may be capable of activating a different signaling cascade inside the cell (Kenakin & Miller, 2010)...
متن کاملComparing Class A GPCRs to bitter taste receptors: Structural motifs, ligand interactions and agonist-to-antagonist ratios.
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are seven transmembrane (TM) proteins that play a key role in human physiology. The GPCR superfamily comprises about 800 members, classified into several classes, with rhodopsin-like Class A being the largest and most studied thus far. A huge component of the human repertoire consists of the chemosensory GPCRs, including ∼400 odorant receptors, 25 bitter tast...
متن کاملLigand-specific interactions modulate kinetic, energetic, and mechanical properties of the human β2 adrenergic receptor.
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a class of versatile proteins that transduce signals across membranes. Extracellular stimuli induce inter- and intramolecular interactions that change the functional state of GPCRs and activate intracellular messenger molecules. How these interactions are established and how they modulate the functional state of GPCRs remain to be understood. We used dyna...
