Authors: Choi G, Guo J, Makriyannis A

The cytoplasmic helix domain (fourth cytoplasmic loop, helix 8) of numerous GPCRs such as rhodopsin and the beta-adrenergic receptor exhibits unique structural and functional characteristics. Computational models also predict the existence of such a structural motif within the CB1 cannabinoid receptor, another member of the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily. To gain insights into the conformational properties of this GPCR component, a peptide corresponding to helix 8 of the CB1 receptor with a small contiguous segment from transmembrane helix 7 (TM7) was chemically synthesized and its secondary structure determined by circular dichroism (CD) and solution NMR spectroscopy. Our studies in DPC and SDS micelles revealed significant alpha-helical structure while in an aqueous medium, the peptide exhibited a random coil configuration. The relative orientation of helix 8 within the CB1 receptor was obtained from intermolecular 31P-1H and 1H-1H NOE measurements. Our results suggest that in the presence of an amphipathic membrane environment, helix 8 assumes an alpha helical structure with an orientation parallel to the phospholipid membrane surface and perpendicular to TM7. In this model, positively charged side chains interact with the lipid headgroups while the other polar side chains face the aqueous region. The above observations may be relevant to the activation/deactivation of the CB1 receptor.
