Structural basis for ligand recognition and signaling of the lysophosphatidylserine receptors GPR34 and GPR174.

ABSTRACT: Lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS) is a naturally occurring lipid mediator involved in various physiological and pathological processes especially those related to the immune system. GPR34, GPR174, and P2Y10 have been identified as the receptors for LysoPS, and its analogues have been developed as agonists or antagonists for these receptors. However, the lack of structural information hinders the drug development with novel characteristics, such as nonlipid ligands and allosteric modulators. Here, we determined the structures of human GPR34 and GPR174 in complex with LysoPS and G protein by cryo-EM. Combined with structural analysis and functional studies, we elucidated the lipid-binding modes of these receptors. By structural comparison, we identified the structural features of GPR34 and GPR
