==CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE ECTODOMAIN OF METHUSELAH==
-
The Drosophila mutant methuselah (mth) was identified from a screen for, single gene mutations that extended average lifespan. Mth mutants have a, 35% increase in average lifespan and increased resistance to several forms, of stress, including heat, starvation, and oxidative damage. The protein, affected by this mutation is related to G protein-coupled receptors of the, secretin receptor family. Mth, like secretin receptor family members, has, a large N-terminal ectodomain, which may constitute the ligand binding, site. Here we report the 2.3-A resolution crystal structure of the Mth, extracellular region, revealing a folding topology in which three, primarily beta-structure-containing domains meet to form a shallow, interdomain groove containing a solvent-exposed tryptophan that may, represent a ligand binding site. The Mth structure is analyzed in relation, to predicted Mth homologs and potential ligand binding features.

== Function ==

[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/MTH_DROME MTH_DROME] Involved in biological aging and stress response. Essential for adult survival. Required in the presynaptic motor neuron to up-regulate neurotransmitter exocytosis at larval glutamatergic neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). Regulates a step associated with docking and clustering of vesicles at release sites. Sun, Acp70A/SP and eys/SPAM are agonists that activate mth.<ref>PMID:9794765</ref> <ref>PMID:12367510</ref>
