Spatiotemporal control over biochemical signaling processes involving G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) is highly desired for dissecting their complex intracellular signaling. We developed sixteen photoswitchable ligands for the human histamine H3 receptor (hH3R). Upon illumination, key compound 65 decreases its affinity for the hH3R by 8.5‐fold and its potency in hH3R‐mediated Gi protein activation by over 20‐fold, with the trans and cis isomer both acting as full agonist. In real‐time two‐electrode voltage clamp experiments in Xenopus oocytes, 65 shows rapid light‐induced modulation of hH3R activity. Ligand 65 shows good binding selectivity amongst the histamine receptor subfamily and has good photolytic stability. In all, 65 (VUF15000) is the first photoswitchable GPCR agonist confirmed to be modulated through its affinity and potency upon photoswitching while maintaining its intrinsic activity, rendering it a new chemical biology tool for spatiotemporal control of GPCR activation. 相似文献

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play important roles in physiological processes and are modulated by drugs that either activate or block signaling. Rational design of the pharmacological efficacy profiles of GPCR ligands could enable the development of more efficient drugs, but is challenging even if high-resolution receptor structures are available. We performed molecular dynamics simulations of the β2 adrenergic receptor in active and inactive conformations to assess if binding free energy calculations can predict differences in ligand efficacy for closely related compounds. Previously identified ligands were successfully classified into groups with comparable efficacy profiles based on the calculated shift in ligand affinity upon activation. A series of ligands were then predicted and synthesized, leading to the discovery of partial agonists with nanomolar potencies and novel scaffolds. Our results demonstrate that free energy simulations enable design of ligand efficacy and the same approach can be applied to other GPCR drug targets. 相似文献

G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent a major superfamily of transmembrane receptor proteins that are crucial in cellular signaling and are major pharmacological targets. While the activity of GPCRs can be modulated by agonist binding, the mechanisms that link agonist binding to G protein coupling are poorly understood. Here we present a method to accurately examine the activity of ligands in their bound state, even at low affinity, by solid-state NMR dipolar correlation spectroscopy and confront this method with the human H1 receptor. The analysis reveals two different charge states of the bound agonist, dicationic with a charged imidazole ring and monocationic with a neutral imidazole ring, with the same overall conformation. The combination of charge difference and pronounced heterogeneity agrees with converging evidence that the active and inactive states of the GPCR represent a dynamic equilibrium of substates and that proton transfer between agonist and protein side chains can shift this equilibrium by stabilizing the active receptor population relative to the inactive one. In fact, the data suggest a global functional analogy between H1 receptor activation and the meta I/meta II charge/discharge equilibrium in rhodopsin (GPCR). This corroborates current ideas on unifying principles in GPCR structure and function. 相似文献

To date, challenges in the design of bivalent ligands for G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have revealed difficulties stemming from lack of knowledge of the state of oligomerization of the GPCR. The synthetic bivalent ligands with rigid linkers that are presented here can predict the dimer form of CXCR4 and be applied to molecular probes in cancerous cells. This "molecular ruler" approach would be useful in elucidating the details of CXCR4 oligomer formation. 相似文献

Rhodopsin, the light sensitive receptor responsible for blue-green vision, serves as a prototypical G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). Upon light absorption, it undergoes a series of conformational changes that lead to the active form, metarhodopsin II (META II), initiating a signaling cascade through binding to the G protein transducin (G(t)). Here, we first develop a structural model of META II by applying experimental distance restraints to the structure of lumi-rhodopsin (LUMI), an earlier intermediate. The restraints are imposed by using a combination of biased molecular dynamics simulations and perturbations to an elastic network model. We characterize the motions of the transmembrane helices in the LUMI-to-META II transition and the rearrangement of interhelical hydrogen bonds. We then simulate rhodopsin activation in a dynamic model to study the path leading from LUMI to our META II model for wild-type rhodopsin and a series of mutants. The simulations show a strong correlation between the transition dynamics and the pharmacological phenotypes of the mutants. These results help identify the molecular mechanisms of activation in both wild type and mutant rhodopsin. While static models can provide insights into the mechanisms of ligand recognition and predict ligand affinity, a dynamic model of activation could be applicable to study the pharmacology of other GPCRs and their ligands, offering a key to predictions of basal activity and ligand efficacy. 相似文献

Controlling or switching the optical signal from a large collection of molecules with the minimum of photons represents an extremely attractive concept. Promising fundamental and practical applications may be derived from such a photon‐saving principle. With this aim in mind, we have prepared fluorescent photochromic organic nanoparticles (NPs), showing bright red emission, complete ON–OFF contrast with full reversibility, and excellent fatigue resistance. Most interestingly, upon successive UV and visible light irradiation, the NPs exhibit a complete fluorescence quenching and recovery at very low photochromic conversion levels (<5 %), leading to the fluorescence photoswitching of 420±20 molecules for only one converted photochromic molecule. This “giant amplification of fluorescence photoswitching” originates from efficient intermolecular energy‐transfer processes within the NPs. 相似文献

Non‐invasive separation‐free protocols are attractive for analyzing complex mixtures. To increase selectivity, an analysis under kinetic control, through exploitation of the photochemical reactivity of labeling contrast agents, is described. The simple protocol is applied in optical fluorescence microscopy, where autofluorescence, light scattering, as well as spectral crowding presents limitations. Introduced herein is OPIOM (out‐of‐phase imaging after optical modulation), which exploits the rich kinetic signature of a photoswitching fluorescent probe to increase selectively and quantitatively its contrast. Filtering the specific contribution of the probe only requires phase‐sensitive detection upon matching the photoswitching dynamics of the probe and the intensity and frequency of a modulated monochromatic light excitation. After in vitro validation, we applied OPIOM for selective imaging in mammalian cells and zebrafish, thus opening attractive perspectives for multiplexed observations in biological samples. 相似文献

Azobenzenes are versatile photoswitches that can be cycled between their trans‐ and cis‐configuration with light. The wavelengths required for this isomerization are substantially shifted from the UV to the visible range through tetra‐ortho‐chlorination. These halogenated azobenzenes display unique photoswitching characteristics, but their syntheses remain limited and inefficient. A new general method for the synthesis of tetra‐ortho‐chloro azobenzenes has been developed, which relies on direct palladium(II)‐catalyzed C?H activation of pre‐existing standard azobenzenes. This late‐stage functionalization has a broad substrate scope and can be used to create a variety of useful building blocks for the construction of more elaborate redshifted photopharmaceuticals. This method is used to prepare red‐ AzCA‐4 , a photoswitchable vanilloid that enables optical control of the cation channel TRPV1 with visible light. 相似文献

G‐protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) ligands impart differing degrees of signaling in the G‐protein and arrestin pathways, in phenomena called “biased signaling”. However, the mechanism underlying the biased signaling of GPCRs is still unclear, although crystal structures of GPCRs bound to the G protein or arrestin are available. In this study, we observed the NMR signals from methionine residues of the μ‐opioid receptor (μOR) in the balanced‐ and biased‐ligand‐bound states. We found that the intracellular cavity of μOR exists in an equilibrium between closed and multiple open conformations with coupled conformational changes on the transmembrane helices 3, 5, 6, and 7, and that the population of each open conformation determines the G‐protein‐ and arrestin‐mediated signaling levels in each ligand‐bound state. These findings provide insight into the biased signaling of GPCRs and will be helpful for development of analgesics that stimulate μOR with reduced tolerance and dependence. 相似文献

The cannabinoid CB1 receptor is a class A G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) that is the most widely expressed GPCR in the brain. Many GPCRs contain allosteric binding sites for endogenous and/or synthetic ligands, which are topographically distinct from the agonist‐binding site that is known as the orthosteric site. While both endogenous and synthetic ligands that act at the CB1 orthosteric site have been known for some time, compounds that act at a CB1 allosteric site have only recently been discovered. The most studied of these is 5‐chloro‐3‐ethyl‐1H‐indole‐2‐carboxylic acid [2‐(4‐piperidin‐1‐ylphenyl)ethyl]amide (Org27569). Because allosteric ligands are thought to act through conformational changes in the receptor that are transmitted from the allosteric to the orthosteric site, computational studies of the structural and dynamic interactions of Org27569 with the CB1 receptor are crucial to achieve a molecular level understanding of the basis of action of this important new class of compounds. To date, such computational studies have not been possible due to the lack of a complete set of molecular mechanics force field parameters for Org27569. Here, we present the development of missing CHARMM force field parameters for Org27569 using previously published methods and the validation and application of these new parameters using normal mode analysis and molecular dynamics simulations combined with experimental infrared measurements. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Analysis of postranslationally modified protein domains is complicated by an availability problem, as recombinant methods rarely allow site‐specificity at will. Although total synthesis enables full control over posttranslational and other modifications, chemical approaches are limited to shorter peptides. To solve this problem, we herein describe a method that combines a) immobilization of N‐terminally thiolated peptide hydrazides by hydrazone ligation, b) on‐surface native chemical ligation with self‐purified peptide thioesters, c) radical‐induced desulfurization, and d) a surface‐based fluorescence binding assay for functional characterization. We used the method to rapidly investigate 20 SH3 domains, with a focus on their phosphoregulation. The analysis suggests that tyrosine phosphorylation of SH3 domains found in Abl kinases act as a switch that can induce both the loss and, unexpectedly, gain of affinity for proline‐rich ligands. 相似文献

G protein-coupled cell surface receptors (GPCR) trigger complex intracellular signaling cascades upon agonist binding. Classic pharmacological assays provide information about binding affinities, activation or blockade at different stages of the signaling cascade, but real time dynamics and reversibility of these processes remain often disguised. We show that combining photochromic NPY receptor ligands, which can be toggled in their receptor activation ability by irradiation with light of different wavelengths, with whole cell label-free impedance assays allows observing the cell response to receptor activation and its reversibility over time. The concept demonstrated on NPY receptors may be well applicable to many other GPCRs providing a deeper insight into the time course of intracellular signaling processes. 相似文献

G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of membrane‐bound receptors and constitute about 50 % of all known drug targets. They offer great potential for membrane protein nanotechnologies. We report here a charge‐interaction‐directed reconstitution mechanism that induces spontaneous insertion of bovine rhodopsin, the eukaryotic GPCR, into both lipid‐ and polymer‐based artificial membranes. We reveal a new allosteric mode of rhodopsin activation incurred by the non‐biological membranes: the cationic membrane drives a transition from the inactive MI to the activated MII state in the absence of high [H+] or negative spontaneous curvature. We attribute this activation to the attractive charge interaction between the membrane surface and the deprotonated Glu134 residue of the rhodopsin‐conserved ERY sequence motif that helps break the cytoplasmic “ionic lock”. This study unveils a novel design concept of non‐biological membranes to reconstitute and harness GPCR functions in synthetic systems. 相似文献

Protein nanobodies have been used successfully as surrogates for unstable G‐proteins in order to crystallize G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) in their active states. We used molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, including metadynamics enhanced sampling, to investigate the similarities and differences between GPCR–agonist ternary complexes with the α‐subunits of the appropriate G‐proteins and those with the protein nanobodies (intracellular binding partners, IBPs) used for crystallization. In two of the three receptors considered, the agonist‐binding mode differs significantly between the two alternative ternary complexes. The ternary‐complex model of GPCR activation entails enhancement of ligand binding by bound IBPs: Our results show that IBP‐specific changes can alter the agonist binding modes and thus also the criteria for designing GPCR agonists. 相似文献

Protein misfolding diseases are characterized by deposition of protein aggregates, and optical ligands for molecular characterization of these disease‐associated structures are important for understanding their potential role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Luminescent conjugated oligothiophenes (LCOs) have proven useful for optical identification of a broader subset of disease‐associated protein aggregates than conventional ligands, such as thioflavin T and Congo red. Herein, the molecular requirements for achieving LCOs able to detect nonthioflavinophilic Aβ aggregates or non‐congophilic prion aggregates, as well as spectrally discriminate Aβ and tau aggregates, were investigated. An anionic pentameric LCO was subjected to chemical engineering by: 1) replacing thiophene units with selenophene or phenylene moieties, or 2) alternating the anionic substituents along the thiophene backbone. In addition, two asymmetric tetrameric ligands were generated. Overall, the results from this study identified conformational freedom and extended conjugation of the conjugated backbone as crucial determinants for obtaining superior thiophene‐based optical ligands for sensitive detection and spectral assignment of disease‐associated protein aggregates. 相似文献

Using one ray of light to encode another ray of light is highly desirable because information in optical format can be directly transferred from one beam to another without converting back to the electronic format. One key medium to accomplish such an amazing task is photoswitchable molecules. Using bis(dithiazole)ethene that can be photoswitched between its ring‐open and ring‐closed states quantitatively with excellent fatigue resistance and high thermal stability, it is shown that quantitative photoreversibility allowed the photoswitching light to control other light travelling through the photoswitchable medium, a phenomenon of transferring information encoded in one light ray to others, thus imparting photo‐optical modulation on the orthogonal light beam. 相似文献

During the last decade far‐field fluorescence microscopy methods have evolved that have resolution far below the wavelength of light. To outperform the limiting role of diffraction, all these methods, in one way or another, switch the ability of a molecule to emit fluorescence. Here we present a novel rhodamine amide that can be photoswitched from a nonfluorescent to a fluorescent state by absorption of one or two photons from a continuous‐wave laser beam. This bright marker enables strict control of on/off switching and provides single‐molecule localization precision down to 15 nm in the focal plane. Two‐photon induced nonlinear photoswitching of this marker with continuous‐wave illumination offers optical sectioning with simple laser equipment. Future synthesis of similar compounds holds great promise for cost‐effective fluorescence nanoscopy with noninvasive optical sectioning. 相似文献

Photorelease of caged compounds is among the most powerful experimental approaches for studying cellular functions on fast timescales. However, its full potential has yet to be exploited, as the number of caged small molecules available for cell biological studies has been limited by synthetic challenges. Addressing this problem, a straightforward, one-step procedure for efficiently synthesizing caged compounds was developed. An in situ generated benzylic coumarin triflate reagent was used to specifically functionalize carboxylate and phosphate moieties in the presence of free hydroxy groups, generating various caged lipid metabolites, including a number of GPCR ligands. By combining the photo-caged ligands with the respective receptors, an easily implementable experimental platform for the optical control and analysis of GPCR-mediated signal transduction in living cells was developed. Ultimately, the described synthetic strategy allows rapid generation of photo-caged small molecules and thus greatly facilitates the analysis of their biological roles in live cell microscopy assays. 相似文献
