Function[MTH_DROME] Involved in biological aging and stress response. Essential for adult survival. Required in the presynaptic motor neuron to up-regulate neurotransmitter exocytosis at larval glutamatergic neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). Regulates a step associated with docking and clustering of vesicles at release sites. Sun, Acp70A/SP and eys/SPAM are agonists that activate mth.[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedG protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate signaling from extracellular ligands to intracellular signal transduction proteins. Methuselah (Mth) is a class B (secretin-like) GPCR, a family typified by their large, ligand-binding, N-terminal extracellular domains. Downregulation of mth increases the life span of Drosophila melanogaster; inhibitors of Mth signaling should therefore enhance longevity. We used mRNA display selection to identify high-affinity (K(d) = 15 to 30 nM) peptide ligands that bind to the N-terminal ectodomain of Mth. The selected peptides are potent antagonists of Mth signaling, and structural studies suggest that they perturb the interface between the Mth ecto- and transmembrane domains. Flies constitutively expressing a Mth antagonist peptide have a robust life span extension, which suggests that the peptides inhibit Mth signaling in vivo. Our work thus provides new life span-extending ligands for a metazoan and a general approach for the design of modulators of this important class of GPCRs. Extension of Drosophila melanogaster life span with a GPCR peptide inhibitor.,Ja WW, West AP Jr, Delker SL, Bjorkman PJ, Benzer S, Roberts RW Nat Chem Biol. 2007 Jul;3(7):415-9. Epub 2007 Jun 3.
