Abstract

The glucagon receptor belongs to the B family of G-protein coupled receptors. Little structural information is available about this receptor and its association with glucagon. We used the substituted cysteine accessibility method and three-dimensional molecular modeling based on the gastrointestinal insulinotropic peptide and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor structures to study the N-terminal domain of this receptor, a central element for ligand binding and specificity. Our results showed that Asp(63), Arg(116), and Lys(98) are essential for the receptor structure and/or ligand binding because mutations of these three residues completely disrupted or markedly impaired the receptor function. In agreement with these data, our models revealed that Asp(63) and Arg(116) form a salt bridge, whereas Lys(98) is engaged in cation-π interactions with the conserved tryptophans 68 and 106. The native receptor could not be labeled by hydrophilic cysteine biotinylation reagents, but treatment of intact cells with [2-(trimethylammonium)ethyl]methanethiosulfonate increased the glucagon binding site density. This result suggested that an unidentified protein with at least one free cysteine associated with the receptor prevented glucagon recogni...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Biology of GLP-1

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) plays a role in glucose metabolism, energy homeostasis, and inflammation suppression. GLP-1 receptor signaling has been shown to impact cardiovascular function. This feed focuses on the role of GLP-1 and GLP-1 receptor agonists on cardiovascular biology.
