Structure of Class B Human Glucagon G-Protein Coupled Receptors

G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are recognized as the largest known class of integral membrane proteins and are divided into five families; the rhodopsin family (class A), the secretin family (class B), the adhesion family, the glutamate family (class C), and the frizzled/taste family (class F). Roughly 5% of the human genome encodes g-protein-coupled receptors which are responsible for the transduction of endogenous signals and the instigation of cellular response. The variants all contain a similar seven α-helical transmembrane domain (TMD) that, once bound to its peptide ligand, undergoes conformational change and tranduces a signal to coupled, heterotrimeric G proteins which initiate intracellular signal pathways and generate physiological and pathological processes. (Zhang., et al. 2006)

Class B G-protein-coupled receptors contain 15 distinct receptors for peptide hormones and generate their signal pathway through the activation of adenylate cyclase (AC) which increases concentration of cAMP, inositol phosphate, and calcium levels in cyto. (Bortolato., et al. 2014) These signals are essential elements of intracellular signal cascades for human diseases including type II diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, obesity, cancer, neurological degeneration, cardiovascular diseases, headaches, and psychiatric disorders; making their regulation through drug targeting of particular interest to companies developing novel molecules. (Hollenstein et al, 2014) Structurally based approaches to the development of small-molecule agonists and antagonists have been hampered by the lack of accurate Class B TMD visualizations until recent crystal structures of corticoptropin-releasing factor receptor 1 and human glucagon were realized. (Hollenstein et al 2013)
