Abstract
A hallmark of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is the conversion of external stimuli into specific cellular responses. In this tightly-regulated process, extracellular ligand binding by GPCRs promotes specific conformational changes within the seven transmembrane helices, leading to the coupling and activation of intracellular "transducer" proteins, such as heterotrimeric G proteins. Much of our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that govern GPCR activation is derived from experiments with purified receptors reconstituted in detergent micelles. To elucidate the influence of the phospholipid bilayer on GPCR activation, here we interrogated the functional, pharmacological, and biophysical properties of a GPCR, the β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR), in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles. Compared with detergent-reconstituted β2AR, the β2AR in HDL particles had greatly enhanced levels of basal (constitutive) activity and displayed increased sensitivity to agonist activation, as assessed by activation of heterotrimeric G protein and allosteric coupling between the ligand-binding and transducer-binding pockets. Using 19F NMR spectroscopy, we directly linked these functional differences in detergent- and HDL-reconstituted ...Continue Reading
