We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Glycoprotein hormones (GpHs) produced in the human pituitary act through receptors (GpHRs) in the gonads to support reproduction and in the thyroid for metabolism. GpHs are heterodimeric cystine-knot proteins; their receptors bind cognate hormones at an extracellular domain and signal through a transmembrane domain to heterotrimeric G proteins. GpHs and GpHRs have co-evolved from invertebrate counterparts. Structures of the human receptors as isolated for cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) are all monomeric despite compelling evidence for their functioning as dimers. Here we characterize the homologous receptor from Caenorhabditis elegans. Its biochemical properties are notably similar to those of the thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) of humans. Structurally, it is an asymmetric dimer (protomers screw-transformed by 142 degrees /4.1 A), composed such that only one hormone could bind. This is compatible with the 1:2 asymmetry of negatively cooperative TSH:TSHR complexes and for the transactivation evident from functional complementation of binding-deficient and signaling-deficient GpHRs. By modeling, a symmetrized dimer can bind two hormones as in the 2:2 complexes that support TSHR switches in G-protein usage.
