Conventional approaches to study ligand-receptor interactions using solution-state NMR often involve laborious sample preparation, isotopic labeling, and receptor reconstitution. Each of these steps remains challenging for membrane proteins such as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Here we introduce a combinational approach integrating NMR and homogenized membrane nano-discs preparation to characterize the ligand-GPCR interactions. The approach will have a great potential for drug screening...
[NMR paper] Biphasic activation of beta-arrestin 1 upon interaction with a GPCR revealed by methyl-TROSY NMR
Biphasic activation of beta-arrestin 1 upon interaction with a GPCR revealed by methyl-TROSY NMR
?-arrestins (?arrs) play multifaceted roles in the function of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). ?arrs typically interact with phosphorylated C-terminal tail (C tail) and transmembrane core (TM core) of GPCRs. However, the effects of the C tail- and TM core-mediated interactions on the conformational activation of ?arrs have remained elusive. Here, we show the conformational changes for ?arr activation upon the C tail- and TM core-mediated interactions with a prototypical GPCR by nuclear......
