Unnatural Tripeptides as Potent Positive Allosteric Modulators of T1R2/T1R3.

ABSTRACT: T1R2/T1R3 belongs to G protein coupled receptors, which recognizes diverse natural and synthetic sweeteners. A novel class of positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of T1R2/T1R3 was identified through high-throughput screening campaign. Comparing the structure of the potent compound with previously known PAM, we classified the structure of known PAM into three parts, defined as "head", "linker", and "tail". We then investigated the linker-tail structure. It was suggested by molecular docking models of T1R2/T1R3 that an amine that we introduced in the tail was the key for interaction with the receptor binding pocket. We thus synthesized various molecules and found unnatural tripeptide-PAMs, which potently enhance the sweetness of sucrose in sensory evaluation tests.

Phosphorus Taste Involves T1R2 and T1R3.

Project description:Rodents consume solutions of phosphates and pyrophosphates in preference to water. Recently, we found that the preference for trisodium pyrophosphate (Na3HP2O7) was greater in T1R3 knockout (KO) mice than wild-type (WT) controls, suggesting that T1R3 is a pyrophosphate detector. We now show that this heightened Na3HP2O7 preference of T1R3 KO mice extends to disodium phosphate (Na2HPO4), disodium and tetrasodium pyrophosphate (Na2H2PO4 and Na4H2PO4), a tripolyphosphate (Na5P3O10), a non-sodium phosphate [(NH4)2HPO4], and a non-sodium pyrophosphate (K4P2O7) but not to non-P salts with large anions (sodium gluconate, acetate, or propionate). Licking rates for Na3HP2O7 are higher in T1R2 KO mice than WT controls; Na3HP2O7 preference scores are increased even more in T1R2 KO mice and T1R2+T1R3 double KO mice than in T1R3 KO mice; preference scores for Na3HP2O7 are normal in T1R1 KO mice. These results implicate each subunit of the T1R2+T1R3 dimer in the behavioral response to P-containing taste compounds.

Potent Prearranged Positive Allosteric Modulators of the Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor.

Project description:Drugs that allosterically modulate G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activity display higher specificity and may improve disease treatment. However, the rational design of compounds that target the allosteric site is difficult, as conformations required for receptor activation are poorly understood. Guided by photopharmacology, a set of prearranged positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) with restricted degrees of freedom was designed and tested against the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R), a GPCR involved in glucose homeostasis. Compounds incorporating a trans-stilbene comprehensively outperformed those with a cis-stilbene, as well as the benchmark BETP, as GLP-1R PAMs. We also identified major effects of ligand conformation on GLP-1R binding kinetics and signal bias. Thus, we describe a photopharmacology-directed approach for rational drug design, and introduce a new class of stilbene-containing PAM for the specific regulation of GPCR activity.

Discovery of positive allosteric modulators and silent allosteric modulators of the ?-opioid receptor.

Project description:?-Opioid receptors are among the most studied G protein-coupled receptors because of the therapeutic value of agonists, such as morphine, that are used to treat chronic pain. However, these drugs have significant side effects, such as respiratory suppression, constipation, allodynia, tolerance, and dependence, as well as abuse potential. Efforts to fine tune pain control while alleviating the side effects of drugs, both physiological and psychological, have led to the development of a wide variety of structurally diverse agonist ligands for the ?-opioid receptor, as well as compounds that target ?- and ?-opioid receptors. In recent years, the identification of allosteric ligands for some G protein-coupled receptors has provided breakthroughs in obtaining receptor subtype-selectivity that can reduce the overall side effect profiles of a potential drug. However, positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) can also have the specific advantage of only modulating the activity of the receptor when the orthosteric agonist occupies the receptor, thus maintaining spatial and temporal control of receptor signaling in vivo. This second advantage of allosteric modulators may yield breakthroughs in opioid receptor research and could lead to drugs with improved side-effect profiles or fewer tolerance and dependence issues compared with orthosteric opioid receptor agonists. Here, we describe the discovery and characterization of ?-opioid receptor PAMs and silent allosteric modulators, identified from high-throughput screening using a ?-arrestin-recruitment assay.

Distinct human and mouse membrane trafficking systems for sweet taste receptors T1r2 and T1r3.

Project description:The sweet taste receptors T1r2 and T1r3 are included in the T1r taste receptor family that belongs to class C of the G protein-coupled receptors. Heterodimerization of T1r2 and T1r3 is required for the perception of sweet substances, but little is known about the mechanisms underlying this heterodimerization, including membrane trafficking. We developed tagged mouse T1r2 and T1r3, and human T1R2 and T1R3 and evaluated membrane trafficking in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells. We found that human T1R3 surface expression was only observed when human T1R3 was coexpressed with human T1R2, whereas mouse T1r3 was expressed without mouse T1r2 expression. A domain-swapped chimera and truncated human T1R3 mutant showed that the Venus flytrap module and cysteine-rich domain (CRD) of human T1R3 contain a region related to the inhibition of human T1R3 membrane trafficking and coordinated regulation of human T1R3 membrane trafficking. We also found that the Venus flytrap module of both human T1R2 and T1R3 are needed for membrane trafficking, suggesting that the coexpression of human T1R2 and T1R3 is required for this event. These results suggest that the Venus flytrap module and CRD receive taste substances and play roles in membrane trafficking of human T1R2 and T1R3. These features are different from those of mouse receptors, indicating that human T1R2 and T1R3 are likely to have a novel membrane trafficking system.

Crystal Structures of Potent Dimeric Positive Allosteric Modulators at the Ligand-Binding Domain of the GluA2 Receptor.

Project description:The ionotropic glutamate receptor GluA2 is considered to be an attractive target for positive allosteric modulation for the development of pharmacological tools or cognitive enhancers. Here, we report a detailed structural characterization of two recently reported dimeric positive allosteric modulators, TDPAM01 and TDPAM02, with nanomolar potency at GluA2. Using X-ray crystallography, TDPAM01 and TDPAM02 were crystallized in the ligand-binding domain of the GluA2 flop isoform as well as in the flip-like mutant N775S and the preformed dimer L504Y-N775S. In all structures, one modulator molecule binds at the dimer interface with two characteristic hydrogen bonds being formed from the modulator to Pro515. Whereas the GluA2 dimers and modulator binding mode are similar when crystallized in the presence of l-glutamate, the shape of the binding site differs when no l-glutamate is present. TDPAM02 has no effect on domain closure in both apo and l-glutamate bound GluA2 dimers compared to structures without modulator.

Mechanism of positive allosteric modulators acting on AMPA receptors.

Project description:Ligand-gated ion channels involved in the modulation of synaptic strength are the AMPA, kainate, and NMDA glutamate receptors. Small molecules that potentiate AMPA receptor currents relieve cognitive deficits caused by neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and show promise in the treatment of depression. Previously, there has been limited understanding of the molecular mechanism of action for AMPA receptor potentiators. Here we present cocrystal structures of the glutamate receptor GluR2 S1S2 ligand-binding domain in complex with aniracetam [1-(4-methoxybenzoyl)-2-pyrrolidinone] or CX614 (pyrrolidino-1,3-oxazino benzo-1,4-dioxan-10-one), two AMPA receptor potentiators that preferentially slow AMPA receptor deactivation. Both potentiators bind within the dimer interface of the nondesensitized receptor at a common site located on the twofold axis of molecular symmetry. Importantly, the potentiator binding site is adjacent to the "hinge" in the ligand-binding core "clamshell" that undergoes conformational rearrangement after glutamate binding. Using rapid solution exchange, patch-clamp electrophysiology experiments, we show that point mutations of residues that interact with potentiators in the cocrystal disrupt potentiator function. We suggest that the potentiators slow deactivation by stabilizing the clamshell in its closed-cleft, glutamate-bound conformation.

Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase Positive Allosteric Modulators Attenuate Neuronal Oxidative Stress.

Project description:Evidence supports boosting nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) to counteract oxidative stress in aging and neurodegenerative disease. One approach is to enhance the activity of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT). Novel NAMPT positive allosteric modulators (N-PAMs) were identified. A cocrystal structure confirmed N-PAM binding to the NAMPT rear channel. Early hit-to-lead efforts led to a 1.88-fold maximum increase in the level of NAD+ in human THP-1 cells. Select N-PAMs were assessed for mitigation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in HT-22 neuronal cells subject to inflammatory stress using tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα). N-PAMs that increased NAD+ more effectively in THP-1 cells attenuated TNFα-induced ROS more effectively in HT-22 cells. The most efficacious N-PAM completely attenuated ROS elevation in glutamate-stressed HT-22 cells, a model of neuronal excitotoxicity. This work demonstrates for the first time that N-PAMs are capable of mitigating elevated ROS in neurons stressed with TNFα and glutamate and provides support for further N-PAM optimization for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Negative and positive allosteric modulators of the P2X(7) receptor.

Project description:Antagonist effects at the P2X(7) receptor are complex with many behaving in a non-competitive manner. In this study, the effects of N-[2-({2-[(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]ethyl}amino)-5-quinolinyl]-2-tricyclo[3.3.1.1(3,7)]dec-1-ylacetamide (compound-17) and N (2)-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-N (1)-[2-methyl-5-(1-piperazinylmethyl)phenyl]glycinamide dihydrochloride (GW791343) on P2X(7) receptors were examined and their mechanism of action explored.Antagonist effects were studied by measuring agonist-stimulated ethidium accumulation in cells expressing human or rat recombinant P2X(7) receptors and in radioligand binding studies.Compound-17 and GW791343 were non-competitive inhibitors of human P2X(7) receptors. Receptor protection studies using decavanadate and pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulphonic acid (PPADS) showed that neither compound-17 nor GW791343 competitively interacted at the ATP binding site and so were probably negative allosteric modulators of the P2X(7) receptor. GW791343 prevented the slowly reversible blockade of the human P2X(7) receptor produced by compound-17 and inhibited [(3)H]-compound-17 binding to the P2X(7) receptor suggesting they may bind to similar or interacting sites. At rat P2X(7) receptors, compound-17 was a negative allosteric modulator but the predominant effect of GW791343 was to increase agonist responses. Antagonist interaction and radioligand binding studies revealed that GW791343 did not interact at the ATP binding site but did interact with the compound-17 binding site suggesting that GW791343 is a positive allosteric modulator of the rat P2X(7) receptor.Compound-17 was a negative allosteric modulator of human and rat P2X(7) receptors. GW791343 was a negative allosteric modulator of the human P2X(7) receptor but at the rat P2X(7) receptor its predominant effect was positive allosteric modulation. These compounds should provide valuable tools for mechanistic studies on P2X(7) receptors.

Novel gurmarin-like peptides from Gymnema sylvestre and their interactions with the sweet taste receptor T1R2/T1R3.

Project description:Gymnema sylvestre (GS) is a traditional medicinal plant known for its hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects. Gurmarin (hereafter Gur-1) is the only known active peptide in GS. Gur-1 has a suppressive sweet taste effect in rodents but no or only a very weak effect in humans. Here, 8 gurmarin-like peptides (Gur-2 to Gur-9) and their isoforms are reported in the GS transcriptome. The molecular mechanism of sweet taste suppression by Gur-1 is still largely unknown. Therefore, the complete architecture of human and mouse sweet taste receptors T1R2/T1R3 and their interaction with Gur-1 to Gur-9 were predicted by AlphaFold-Multimer (AF-M) and validated. Only Gur-1 and Gur-2 interact with the T1R2/T1R3 receptor. Indeed, Gur-1 and Gur-2 bind to the region of the cysteine-rich domain (CRD) and the transmembrane domain (TMD) of the mouse T1R2 subunit. In contrast, only Gur-2 binds to the TMD of the human T1R2 subunit. This result suggests that Gur-2 may have a suppressive sweet taste effect in humans. Furthermore, AF-M predicted that Gα-gustducin, a protein involved in sweet taste transduction, interacts with the intracellular domain of the T1R2 subunit. These results highlight an unexpected diversity of gurmarin-like peptides in GS and provide the complete predicted architecture of the human and mouse sweet taste receptor with the putative binding sites of Gur-1, Gur-2, and Gα-gustducin. In addition, gurmarin-like peptides may serve as promising drug scaffolds for the development of antidiabetic molecules.

Discovery of potent positive allosteric modulators of the ?3?2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor by a chemical space walk in ChEMBL.

Project description:While a plethora of ligands are known for the well studied ?7 and ?4?2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), only very few ligands address the related ?3?2 nAChR expressed in the central nervous system and at the neuromuscular junction. Starting with the public database ChEMBL organized in the chemical space of Molecular Quantum Numbers (MQN, a series of 42 integer value descriptors of molecular structure), a visual survey of nearest neighbors of the ?7 nAChR partial agonist N-(3R)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl-4-chlorobenzamide (PNU-282,987) pointed to N-(2-halobenzyl)-3-aminoquinuclidines as possible nAChR modulators. This simple "chemical space walk" was performed using a web-browser available at www.gdb.unibe.ch . Electrophysiological recordings revealed that these ligands represent a new and to date most potent class of positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of the ?3?2 nAChR, which also exert significant effects in vivo. The present discovery highlights the value of surveying chemical space neighbors of known drugs within public databases to uncover new pharmacology.
