Serotonin 1E receptor (5-HT1eR)-Gi1 Complex bound with Mianserin
Structural highlights
FunctionGNAI1_HUMAN Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as modulators or transducers in various transmembrane signaling systems. The G(i) proteins are involved in hormonal regulation of adenylate cyclase: they inhibit the cyclase in response to beta-adrenergic stimuli. The inactive GDP-bound form prevents the association of RGS14 with centrosomes and is required for the translocation of RGS14 from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane. May play a role in cell division.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedSerotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] acts via 13 different receptors in humans. Of these receptor subtypes, all but 5-HT(1e)R have confirmed roles in native tissue and are validated drug targets. Despite 5-HT(1e)R's therapeutic potential and plausible druggability, the mechanisms of its activation remain elusive. To illuminate 5-HT(1e)R's pharmacology in relation to the highly homologous 5-HT(1F)R, we screened a library of aminergic receptor ligands at both receptors and observe 5-HT(1e)R/5-HT(1F)R agonism by multicyclic drugs described as pan-antagonists at 5-HT receptors. Potent agonism by tetracyclic antidepressants mianserin, setiptiline, and mirtazapine suggests a mechanism for their clinically observed antimigraine properties. Using cryo-EM and mutagenesis studies, we uncover and characterize unique agonist-like binding poses of mianserin and setiptiline at 5-HT(1e)R distinct from similar drug scaffolds in inactive-state 5-HTR structures. Together with computational studies, our data suggest that these binding poses alongside receptor-specific allosteric coupling in 5-HT(1e)R and 5-HT(1F)R contribute to the agonist activity of these antidepressants. , PMID:38630816[3] From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
