A Structural Basis for Nucleotide Exchange on G-alpha-i Subunits and Receptor Coupling Specificity
Contents |
Overview
Heterotrimeric G proteins are molecular switches that relay information, intracellularly in response to various extracellular signals. How, ligand-activated G protein-coupled receptors act at a distance to exert, exchange activity on the Galpha nucleotide binding pocket is poorly, understood. Here we describe the synergistic action of two peptides: one, from the third intracellular loop of the D2 dopamine receptor (D2N), and a, second, Galpha.GDP-binding peptide (KB-752) that mimics the proposed role, of Gbetagamma in receptor-promoted nucleotide exchange. The structure of, both peptides in complex with Galpha(i1) suggests that conformational, changes in the beta3/alpha2 loop and beta6 strand act in concert for, efficient nucleotide exchange. Two key residues in the alpha4 helix were, found to define a receptor/Galpha(i) coupling specificity determinant.
