Structural highlights
FunctionAGRL3_HUMAN Plays a role in cell-cell adhesion and neuron guidance via its interactions with FLRT2 and FLRT3 that are expressed at the surface of adjacent cells (PubMed:26235030). Plays a role in the development of glutamatergic synapses in the cortex. Important in determining the connectivity rates between the principal neurons in the cortex.[UniProtKB:Q80TS3][1] Publication Abstract from PubMedAdhesion G Protein-Coupled Receptors (aGPCRs) are key cell-adhesion molecules involved in numerous physiological functions. aGPCRs have large multi-domain extracellular regions (ECRs) containing a conserved GAIN domain that precedes their seven-pass transmembrane domain (7TM). Ligand binding and mechanical force applied on the ECR regulate receptor function. However, how the ECR communicates with the 7TM remains elusive, because the relative orientation and dynamics of the ECR and 7TM within a holoreceptor is unclear. Here, we describe the cryo-EM reconstruction of an aGPCR, Latrophilin3/ADGRL3, and reveal that the GAIN domain adopts a parallel orientation to the transmembrane region and has constrained movement. Single-molecule FRET experiments unveil three slow-exchanging FRET states of the ECR relative to the transmembrane region within the holoreceptor. GAIN-targeted antibodies, and cancer-associated mutations at the GAIN-7TM interface, alter FRET states, cryo-EM conformations, and receptor signaling. Altogether, this data demonstrates conformational and functional coupling between the ECR and 7TM, suggesting an ECR-mediated mechanism for aGPCR activation. Conformational coupling between extracellular and transmembrane domains modulates holo-adhesion GPCR function.,Kordon SP, Cechova K, Bandekar SJ, Leon K, Dutka P, Siffer G, Kossiakoff AA, Vafabakhsh R, Arac D Nat Commun. 2024 Dec 4;15(1):10545. doi: 10.1038/s41467-024-54836-4.
