Popis: | The leukotriene B4 receptor 1 (BLT1) regulates the recruitment and chemotaxis of different cell types and plays a role in the pathophysiology of infectious, allergic, metabolic, and tumorigenic human diseases. Here we present a crystal structure of human BLT1 (hBLT1) in complex with a selective antagonist MK-D-046, developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and other inflammatory conditions. Comprehensive analysis of the structure and structure-activity relationship data, reinforced by site-directed mutagenesis and docking studies, reveals molecular determinants of ligand binding and selectivity toward different BLT receptor subtypes and across species. The structure helps to identify a putative membrane-buried ligand access channel as well as potential receptor binding modes of endogenous agonists. These structural insights of hBLT1 enrich our understanding of its ligand recognition and open up future avenues in structure-based drug design. Human leukotriene B4 receptors (BLT1 and BLT2) are members of the GPCR superfamily that respond to a potent pro-inflammatory lipid and chemoattractant LTB4. Here authors determined a crystal structure of the human BLT1 in complex with a selective antagonist MK-D-046 and provide insights into hBLT1 ligand recognition and its mechanism of action. |
