Outline • Why Study GPCRs? • Objective • H4R • Structure Prediction & Building • Ligand docking • Future Work
“Core of Modern Medicine” • GPCRs have cell signaling functions • 40% of new drugs target GPCRs • Novartis: Zelnorm (5-HT4) • Eli Lilly: Zyprexa (5-HT2) • Schering-Plough: Clarinex (H1) • GlaxoSmithKline: Zantac (H2) (Source: Modern Drug Discovery, “It’s a GPCR World”, Nov 2004)
H4R (Histamine H4 Receptor) • All H4 functions still not known • Together with H1, asthma? • H4 is unique • Dissimilar to H1, H2, H3 • Known Histamine receptor ligands weak against H4R. • New ligands needed to optimize drugs! • Or, to increase specificity Histamine
Objective of your Project • Predict 3D structure of Histamine H4 Receptor (H4R) from AA sequence • Validate structure with known ligands, Histamine etc. • Good structure for drug design • Other questions • Difference of H4R vs. other Histamine receptors?
TM Prediction • Perform BLAST with H4R sequence • “Broad search”, E-value = 0.1 • Run multiple-sequence alignment • Develop hydrophobicity profile by averaging BLASTed sub-profiles • Prediction of TM regions based on hydrophobicity • Get hydrophobic center, controls TM “depth”
Hydrophobicity Profile Large hydrophilic domain implies cytosolic loop TM2 poorly defined
Other PredictM output • PredicTM’s BLAST output • Nearest relative was H4R in Mouse & Rat • ~79-80% identity (#1 & #2) • Histamine 3-R, paralog • ~55% identity, #6 • Human β-2 Adrenergic (template) • TM ~33% identity, #179 • Bovine Rhodopsin (template) • ~22% identity, #1249
“Final” TM Sequence • TM 1: 15-RVTLAFFMSLVAFAIMLGNALVILA-39 • TM 2: 51-SYFFLNLAISDFFVGVISIPLYIPHTLFEWDFGK-85 • TM 3: 88-VFWLTTDYLLCTASVYNIVLISY-111 • TM 4: 131-VLKIVTLMVAVWVLAFLVNGPMILV-155 • TM 5: 169-EWYILAITSFLEFVIPVILVAYFNMNIYWS-203 • TM 6: 303-KSLAILLGVFAVCWAPYSLF-327 • TM 7: 336-KSVWYRIAFWLQWFNSFVN-359
Helix Kinking • Have: TM sequences • Need: 3D structure • First: Predict helix kinking • Helix kinking caused by Pro & Gly residues, stabilized by Ser & Thr Pro71 Right: TM2, minrmsd method. Pro75
Helix Building 0° 15° • Compare helices to template (human β2 ADR) • Template determines angle of insertion into membrane, orientation of TMs 30°
Rotation • Bihelix Pairing: Adjacent helices paired off, rotated (12 combinations) • Bihelix data aggregated to build 7-TM structures
Visual Analysis • Visually check H-bonds • Check for GPCR motifs • NPxxY • 1-2-7 networks, etc • Structure Activity Data • Example: Mutate Asp94…no activity, therefore…Asp94 important! (Assess angle and coordinate)
Asp94 (3.32) Asn147 (4.57) Theorized imidazole binding pocket Glu182 (5.46)
Ligands • “Build” in Maestro • Special pre-reqs for selecting ligands • Need experimental data for binding • Big Picture: Ligands are to validate structure! Imetit, agonist
Current Progress • Analysis continues • Missing expected interhelical interactions • Causes being investigated • A highly polar motif on TM2 may have shifted the structure • Not found on other Histamines, or templates • Will continue with pre-docking • Assess ligand affinity data after docking • Determine if structure “good/bad” by comparison to experimental data
