Structure and dynamics of the CGRP receptor in apo and peptide-bound forms.
Science (New York, N.Y.) 20210218 6538
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are key regulators of information transmission between cells and organs. Despite this, we have only a limited understanding of the behavior of GPCRs in the apo state and the conformational changes upon agonist binding that lead to G protein recruitment and activation. We expressed and purified unmodified apo and peptide-bound calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptors from insect cells to determine their cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures, and ...[more]
