Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) of the Cys-loop receptor family are key players in fast signal transduction throughout the nervous system. They have been shown to be modulated by the lipid environment, however the underlying mechanism is not well understood. We report three structures of the Cys-loop 5-HT<sub>3A</sub> serotonin receptor (5HT<sub>3</sub>R) reconstituted into saposin-based lipid bilayer discs: a symmetric and an asymmetric apo state, and an asymmetric agonist-bound s ...[more]
