Book excerpt: "G protein coupled receptors (GPCR) represent over 30% of drug targets and are involved in nearly all physiological and cellular responses. The angiotensin II (AngII) type I receptor (AT1R) is an important member of this receptor family. Its main endogenous ligand is the hormone angiotensin II (AngII), which regulates blood volume and vascular resistance, through the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). This hormone is involved in hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. A way to improve today's therapeutic approach is to aim for the activation of the beneficial cellular responses without activating the ones responsible for undesirable effects. This type of response can be achieved using ligands that show functional selectivity, also known as biased signaling. This type of ligand imposes distinct conformations to the receptor, therefore promoting selective downstream effector activation. Moreover, our lab has recently shown that functional selectivity was possible using an allosteric modulator (a ligand binding to any site on a GPCR that is topographically distinct from the endogenous binding site). Our group has shown that a peptide mimic of a sequence derived from the second extracellular loop (ECL2) domains of the prostaglandin F2[alpha] (PGF2[alpha]) receptor (FP) acted as a biased-allosteric modulator of FP. We hypothesized that the ECL2 of other GPCRs can be used as putative biased-allosteric modulators. To test this, we used the angiotensin II (AngII) type I receptor (AT1R). We have examined the effects of peptides (SC0023/SC0024) derived from AT1R's ECL2 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). This was done using techniques including western blots, Time-Resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (TR-FRET) and [3H]-Thymidine incorporation. We show in VSMCs that the SC0023 peptide decreases angiotensin II-induced ERK1/2 activation and inositol monophosphate (IP1) production, thus acting as a negative allosteric modulator (NAM) on these signaling pathways. Conversely, SC0024 has no effect on ERK1/2 while acting as a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) on IP1 production. Interestingly, the SC0023 peptide showed no modulatory effect on proliferation in response to angiotensin II, whereas the SC0024 peptide inhibited almost completely this response, hence acting as a NAM on AngII-mediated proliferation. In addition, structure-function studies underscored the importance of three residues (Phe-His-Tyr) of peptide SC0024 for its NAM effect on proliferation. More importantly, these peptides alone showed no effect on any of the pathways studied, thus only working in the presence of agonist, which is characteristic of most allosteric modulators. These data imply that these two peptides derived from the ECL of AT1R are allosteric modulators with biased signaling properties. Indeed, SC0023 acts as a NAM of ERK1/2 activation and IP1 production, while SC0024 acts as a PAM of IP1 production and a NAM of proliferation. Ultimately, understanding how the ECL2 is allosterically biasing its receptor will allow us to design new and more efficient therapeutics." --

Book Synopsis Structure and Function of GPCRs by : Guillaume Lebon
Download or read book Structure and Function of GPCRs written by Guillaume Lebon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces readers to the latest advances in G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) biology. It reviews our current understanding of the structural basis of ligand binding and allosteric mechanisms, following a decade of technological breakthroughs. Several examples of structure-based drug discovery are presented, together with the future challenges involved in designing better drugs that target GPCRs. In turn, the book illustrates the important concept of GPCR biased signaling in physiological contexts, and presents fluorescent- and light-based methodologies frequently used to measure GPCR signaling or to trace their dynamics in cells upon ligand activation. Taken together, the chapters provide an essential overview and toolkit for new scientific investigators who plan to develop GPCR projects. All chapters were written by experts in their respective fields, and share valuable insights and powerful methodologies for the GPCR field.
Book Synopsis Pharmacology of Neurotransmitter Release by : Thomas C. Südhof
Download or read book Pharmacology of Neurotransmitter Release written by Thomas C. Südhof and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-12-07 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been known for half a century that neurotransmitters are released in preformed quanta, that the quanta represent transmitter-storing vesicles, and that release occurs by exocytosis. The focus of this book is twofold. In the first part, the molecular events of exocytosis are analysed. In the second part of the book, the presynaptic receptors for endogenous chemical signals are presented that make neurotransmitter release a highly regulated process.
