Structural and Functional Characterization of G Protein-Coupled Receptors with Deep Mutational Scanning

ABSTRACT: In humans, the 813 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are responsible for transducing diverse chemical stimuli to alter cell state, and are the largest class of drug targets. Their myriad structural conformations and various modes of signaling make it challenging to understand their structure and function. Here we developed a platform to characterize large libraries of GPCR variants in human cell lines with a barcoded transcriptional reporter of G-protein signal transduction. We tested 7,800 of 7,828 possible single amino acid substitutions to the beta-2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR) at four concentrations of the agonist isoproterenol. We identified residues specifically important for β2AR signaling, mutations in the human population that are potentially loss of function, and residues that modulate basal activity. Using unsupervised learning, we resolve residues critical for signaling, including all major structural motifs and molecular interfaces. We also find a previously uncharacterized structural latch spanning the first two extracellular loops that is highly conserved across Class A GPCRs and is conformationally rigid in both the inactive and active states of the receptor. More broadly, by linking deep mutational scanning with engineered transcriptional reporters, we establish a generalizable method for exploring pharmacogenomics, structure and function across broad classes of drug receptors.

Chimeric GPCRs mimic distinct signaling pathways and modulate microglia responses

Project description:G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulate processes ranging from immune responses to neuronal signaling. However, ligands for many GPCRs remain unknown, suffer from off-target effects or have poor bioavailability. Additionally, dissecting cell type-specific responses is challenging when the same GPCR is expressed on different cells within a tissue. Here, we overcome these limitations by engineering DREADD-based GPCR chimeras that bind their agonist clozapine-N-oxide (CNO) and mimic a GPCR-of-interest. We show that the chimeric DREADD-β2AR triggers responses comparable to levalbuterol-stimulated β2AR on second messenger and kinase activity, post-translational modifications, and protein-protein interactions. Moreover, we successfully recapitulate β2AR-mediated filopodia formation in primary microglia, an immune cell capable of driving central nervous system inflammation. When dissecting microglial inflammation, we utilized the microglia-like HMC3 cell line and included two additionally designed DREADD-based chimeras mimicking GPR65 and GPR109A. DREADD-β2AR and DREADD-GPR65 modulate the inflammatory response with high similarity to endogenous β2AR, while DREADD-GPR109A had no impact. Our DREADD-based approach allows investigation of cell type-dependent pathways without known endogenous ligands.

Mutational scans of the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR5 based on bimolecular fluorescence complementation reveal multiple mechanisms for receptor association

Project description:Many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are found to homo- or hetero-oligomerize, but how and why GPCRs associate remains controversial. The class A chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 both homo- and heterodimerize with each other, and crystal structures of CXCR4 in inactive conformations have captured dimeric organization. By selecting libraries of CCR5 and CXCR4 variants based on bimolecular fluorescence complementation, we determine how nearly every single amino acid substitution effects homo-associations. We find three mechanisms for chemokine receptor association: (i) non-specific aggregation in the membrane phase enhanced by destabilizing structural mutations, (ii) specific protein-protein dimerization interfaces, and (iii) motifs in the cytoplasmic tails that are hypothesized to promote lipid raft localization, thereby bringing receptors close together at high density. We identify mutations that tease apart the effects of these respective mechanisms, and show that specific dimer organization, despite reducing agonist binding, is necessary for active signaling within the cell.

Structure of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase p110-p101 complex reveals molecular mechanism of GPCR activation

Project description:The class IB phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), PI3K, is a master regulator of immune cell function, and is a promising drug target for both inflammatory diseases and cancer. Critical to PI3K function is the association of the p110 catalytic subunit to either a p101 or p84 regulatory subunit, which mediates regulation by G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Here, we report the first structure of a heterodimeric PI3K complex, p110-p101. This structure revealed a unique mode of assembly of catalytic and regulatory subunits distinct from that of other class I PI3K complexes. Multiple oncogenic mutations mapped to these novel interfaces led to increased activation by G. p101 mediates activation through its G binding domain, recruiting the complex to the membrane and allowing for engagement of a secondary site in p110. A nanobody that specifically binds to this p101-G interface blocks activation providing a novel tool to study p101-specific signaling events in vivo.

Strength of Neisseria meningitidis binding to endothelial cells requires highly-ordered CD147/β2-adrenoceptor clusters assembled by alpha-actinin-4

Project description:Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus) is an invasive bacterial pathogen that colonizes human vessels, causing thrombotic lesions and meningitis. Establishment of tight interactions with endothelial cells is crucial for meningococci to resist hemodynamic forces. Two endothelial receptors, CD147 and the β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR), are sequentially engaged by meningococci to adhere and promote signaling events leading to vascular colonization, but their spatiotemporal coordination is unknown. Here we report that CD147 and β2AR form constitutive hetero-oligomeric complexes. The scaffolding protein alpha-actinin-4 directly binds to the cytosolic tail of CD147 and governs the assembly of CD147/β2AR complexes in highly-ordered clusters at bacterial adhesion sites. This multi-molecular assembly process increases the binding strength of meningococci to endothelial cells under shear stress, and creates molecular platforms for the elongation of membrane protrusions surrounding adherent bacteria. Thus, the specific organization of cellular receptors has major impacts on host-pathogen interaction.

Human FZD6 phosphorylation LC-MS/MS

Project description:Frizzleds (FZD) function as receptors for secreted lipoglycoproteins of the Wingless/Int-1 (WNT) family, initiating an important signal transduction network in multicellular organisms. FZDs are classified as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which control a wide variety of physiological functions. GPCRs are well known to be regulated by phosphorylation, which can lead to specification of downstream signaling or receptor desensitization. The role and underlying mechanisms of phosphorylation of FZDs remains largely unexplored. Here, we investigated the phosphorylation of human FZD6. In order to assess FZD6 phosphorylation experimentally, we employed mass spectrometry. HEK293 cells expressing FZD6-GFP were treated with either control, WNT-3A or WNT-5A containing conditioned medium for 30 min and processed for LC-MS/MS analysis. Six phosphorylated serine residues were detected in the C-terminus of FZD6 − S592, S620, S629, S648, S653 and S656.

Gene expression profiles in inguinal white adipose tissue of lysophosphatidic acid receptor 4-KO mice

Project description:White adipose tissue (WAT) is a highly active metabolic and endocrine organ, and its dysfunction links obesity to a variety of diseases, ranging from type 2 diabetes to cancer. The function of WAT is under the control of multiple cell signaling systems, including that of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Gαs- and Gαi-coupled receptors have been reported to regulate lipolysis, and Gαq-coupled receptors stimulate glucose uptake in adipocytes. However, the roles of Gα12/13-coupled receptors in WAT are totally unknown. Here we show that lysophosphatidic acid receptor 4 (LPA4), an adipose cluster GPCR, selectively activates Gα12/13 proteins in adipocytes, and limits continuous remodeling and healthy expansion of WAT in mice. Under standard diet conditions, LPA4-knockout mice showed higher expression levels of mitochondrial biogenesis-related genes in WAT, along with higher production of adiponectin than control mice. In vitro studies have consistently demonstrated that the LPA4/Rho/Rho-kinase signaling pathway suppresses mRNA expression of mitochondrial biogenesis-related genes in adipocytes. In a diet-induced obesity model, LPA4-deficient mice showed “metabolically healthy obese” phenotypes, with continuous WAT expansion, and protection from WAT inflammation, hepatosteatosis, and insulin resistance. Given that GPCRs comprise the most successful class of drug targets, LPA4 would be a promising therapeutic target for obesity-related metabolic disorders.

Selection of the dimeric sweet taste receptor for surface expression and intersubunit interactions

Project description:The sweet taste receptor is a heterodimer of two class C G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), T1R2 and T1R3. While homologous structures of individual domains have been determined, the architecture of the full length T1R2-T1R3 dimer is unknown. Using random mutagenesis and cell sorting, we identify single point mutations and a C-terminal intracellular retention motif in human T1R2 that modulate surface expression and co-trafficking with T1R3 in a HEK293-derivative cell line. A comprehensive mutational scan of T1R2 based on surface expression of both subunits revealed conserved sites for T1R3 interactions, including surfaces on lobe 1 of the ligand binding domain, cysteine rich domain, and transmembrane helix 6. Using the mutational scan to guide modeling of the T1R2-T1R3 dimer predicts a twisted architecture that can explain how outwards motion of lobes 2 in the ligand-binding domains is translated into reorganization of transmembrane regions, and further predicts that extracellular loops 2 form continuous folded structures with the cysteine-rich domains near the dimer axis. These insights into the putative structural organization of the human sweet taste receptor have general implications for the mechanism of class C GPCRs.

Sialic acid-mediated mechanical activation of β2 adrenergic receptors by bacterial pili

Project description:Meningococcus utilizes β-arrestin selective activation of endothelial cell β2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR) to cause meningitis in humans. Molecular mechanisms of receptor activation by the pathogen and of its species selectivity remained elusive. We report that β2AR activation requires two asparagine-branched glycan chains with terminally exposed N-acetyl neuraminic acid (sialic acid, Neu5Ac) residues located at a specific distance in its N34 terminus, while being independent of surrounding amino-acid residues. Meningococcus triggers receptor signaling by exerting direct and hemodynamic-promoted traction forces on β2AR glycans. Similar activation is recapitulated with beads coated with Neu5Ac-binding lectins, submitted to mechanical stimulation. This previously unknown glycan-dependent mode of allosteric mechanical activation of a G protein-coupled receptor contributes to meningococcal species selectivity, since Neu5Ac is only abundant in humans due to the loss of CMAH, the enzyme converting Neu5Ac into N-glycolyl-neuraminic acid in other mammals. It represents an additional mechanism of evolutionary adaptation of a pathogen to its host.

HEK293 femtomolar GPCR signaling

Project description:G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest class of cell surface signaling proteins; they participate in all physiological processes and are the targets of 30% of marketed drugs. Typically, nanomolar-micromolar concentrations of ligand are used to activate GPCRs in experimental systems. However, by measuring cAMP with increased spatial and temporal resolution, we can now detect GPCR responses to an extraordinarily wide range of ligand concentrations: from attomolar to millimolar. Mathematical modeling shows that the addition of femtomolar concentrations of ligand can activate a significant proportion of cells provided that a cell can be activated by 1-2 binding events. In addition to cAMP, activation of the endogenous b2-adrenoceptor (b2AR) and muscarinic M3R by femtomolar concentrations of ligand in cell lines and human cardiac fibroblasts causes sustained increases in nuclear ERK or cytosolic PKC, respectively. These responses are spatially and temporally distinct from those that occur at higher concentrations of ligand, and result in a unique proteomic profile. This highly sensitive signaling is dependent on the GPCRs forming pre-assembled higher-order signaling complexes at the plasma membrane. Recognizing that GPCRs respond to ultra-low concentrations of neurotransmitters and hormones challenges established paradigms of drug action and provides a new dimension of GPCR activation that is quite distinct from that typically observed.
