Inactive and active state structures template selective tools for the human 5-HT_5A receptor.

ABSTRACT: Serotonin receptors are important targets for established therapeutics and drug development as they are expressed throughout the human body and play key roles in cell signaling. There are 12 serotonergic G protein-coupled receptor members encoded in the human genome, of which the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)_5A receptor (5-HT_5AR) is the least understood and lacks selective tool compounds. Here, we report four high-resolution (2.73-2.80 Å) structures of human 5-HT_5ARs, including an inactive state structure bound to an antagonist AS2674723 by crystallization and active state structures bound to a partial agonist lisuride and two full agonists, 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) and methylergometrine, by cryo-EM. Leveraging the new structures, we developed a highly s
