Arrestins and GRK compete for the same internal site of the GPCR where they interact with the G protein and thus promote GPCR desensitization. The phosphorylated GPCR increases its affinity for interacting with arrestin proteins. Consequently, the parts diffuse laterally within the plasma membrane and interact with other membrane proteins.įollowing G protein dissociation, the GPCR is phosphorylated by G protein receptor kinases (GRK) at the intracellular loops and carboxy-terminal tail. Both parts remain anchored to the plasma membrane but neither part is bound to the GPCR. The G protein then dissociates into two parts: an α-subunit-GTP complex and a β-subunit-γ-subunit dimer. The conformational change in the GPCR activates the G protein, which replaces the GDP with guanosine triphosphate (GTP). This arrangement persists until a signal, such as a signaling molecule, binds the GPCR and causes it to undergo a conformational change. When there is no signal molecule present, the α subunit of the G protein binds guanosine diphosphate (GDP) and the resultant G-protein-GDP complex binds a nearby GPCR. The α and γ subunits are attached to the plasma membrane by lipid anchors. The G protein is trimeric-having α, β and γ subunits. The GPCR interacts with a G protein in the plasma membrane. The extracellular loops form part of the pockets in which signal molecules bind.
TM1-TM7 are linked by three extracellular loops (ECL1-EC元) and three intracellular loops (ICL1-IC元). Seven hydrophobic transmembrane domains (TM1-TM7) span the entire width of the plasma membrane this is why GPCRs are also referred to as seven-transmembrane receptors. GPCRs consist of a single polypeptide that is folded into a globular shape and embedded in the plasma membrane of a cell with an extracellular N-terminus and an intracellular C-terminus. This system of classification is referred to as “GRAFS.” The rhodopsin family is the largest and comprises four groups, as follows: α, β, γ and δ. Most human GPCRs can be grouped into five main families, as follows: glutamate, rhodopsin, adhesion, frizzled/taste2, and secretin. The remaining ˜350 non-sensory GPCRs mediate signaling by ligands that range in size from small molecules to peptides to proteins and are targets for the majority of drugs in clinical use (Overington et al., Nat Rev Drug Discov 5(12): 993-996 (2006) and Rask-Andersen et al., Annu Rev Pharmacol Toxicol 54: 9-26 (2014)), although only a minority of these receptors are exploited therapeutically. It is estimated that one-third to one-half of all available drugs bind to GPCRs. Of 800 GPCRs that have been identified, about half have sensory functions, such as olfaction (˜400), taste (33), light perception (10) and pheromone signaling (5) (Mombaerts, Nat RevNeurosci 5(4): 263-278 (2004)). Humans have almost 1,000 different GPCRs, and each one is highly specific fora particular signal, which can range from light to peptides, proteins, lipids, and sugars. GPCRs are present in animals, plants, fungi and protozoa. G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest and most diverse group of eukaryotic membrane receptors.
