Abstract
|
 |
|
Recent studies show that GPCRs rapidly interconvert between multiple states
although our ability to interrogate, monitor and visualize them is limited by a
relative lack of suitable tools. We previously reported two nanobodies (Nb39 and
Nb6) that stabilize distinct ligand- and efficacy-delimited conformations of the
kappa opioid receptor. Here, we demonstrate via X-ray crystallography a
nanobody-targeted allosteric binding site by which Nb6 stabilizes a
ligand-dependent inactive state. As Nb39 stabilizes an active-like state, we
show how these two state-dependent nanobodies can provide real-time reporting of
ligand stabilized states in cells in situ. Significantly, we demonstrate that
chimeric GPCRs can be created with engineered nanobody binding sites to report
ligand-stabilized states. Our results provide both insights regarding potential
mechanisms for allosterically modulating KOR with nanobodies and a tool for
reporting the real-time, in situ dynamic range of GPCR activity.
