G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) transmit signals across the cell membrane via an allosteric network from the ligand-binding site to the G-protein binding site via a series of conserved microswitches. Crystal structures of GPCRs provide snapshots of inactive and active states, but poorly describe the conformational dynamics of the allosteric network that underlies GPCR activation. Here we analyse the correlation between ligand binding and receptor conformation of the 1A-adrenoceptor, known for stimulating smooth muscle contraction in response to binding noradrenaline. NMR of 13C{varepsilon}H3-methionine labelled 1A-adrenoreceptor mutants, each exhibiting differing signalling capacities, revealed how different classes of ligands modulate receptor conformational equilibria. 13C{varepsilon}H3-methionine residues near the microswitches revealed distinct states that correlated with ligand efficacies, supporting a conformational selection mechanism. We propose that allosteric coupling between the microswitches controls receptor conformation and underlies the mechanism of ligand modulation of GPCR signalling in cells.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
