Class C CPCRs such as mGlu2, are activated by their ability to form dimers. MGlu2 is a homodimer which is imperative to the receptor’s ability to relay signals induced by glutamate from the extracellular domain(ECD) to its transmembrane domain(TMD). The homodimer of mGlu2 contains an alpha chain and a beta chain. Occupation of both ECDs with the agonist, glutamate, is necessary for a fully active mGlu2. However, only one chain in the dimer is responsible for activation of the G-protein, this suggests an asymmetrical signal transduction mechanism for mGlu2. |
