Efficient Characterization of GPCRs Allosteric Modulation: Application to the Rational Design of De Novo S1PR1 Allosteric Modulators.

ABSTRACT: G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest superfamily of integral membrane proteins in the human genome that mediate most transmembrane signaling processes. Malfunction of these signaling processes is related to many human pathologies (Parkinson's, heart diseases, etc.), causing GPCRs to be the largest family of druggable proteins. Traditionally, GPCRs were targeted by orthosteric ligands. However, this regulation usually causes side effects, provoking many GPCRs-associated pathologies to remain without an effective treatment. Allosteric regulation offers a promising alternative to circumvent this problem, and consequently, comprehending its details is of utmost importance. For this reason, we developed in the present work a methodology to study the allosteric modulation i
