Molecular organization and dynamics of the melatonin MT1 receptor/RGS20/Gi protein complex reveal asymmetry of receptor dimers for RGS and Gi coupling

Résumé

Functional asymmetry of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) dimers has been reported for an increasing number of cases, but the molecular architecture of signalling units associated to these dimers remains unclear. Here, we characterized the molecular complex of the melatonin MT 1 receptor, which directly and constitutively couples to G i proteins and the regulator of G-protein signalling (RGS) 20. The molecular organization of the ternary MT 1 /G i /RGS20 complex was monitored in its basal and activated state by biolumines-cence resonance energy transfer between probes inserted at multiple sites of the complex. On the basis of the reported crystal structures of G i and the RGS domain, we propose a model wherein one G i and one RGS20 protein bind to separate protomers of MT 1 dimers in a pre-associated complex that rearranges upon agonist activation. This model was further validated with MT 1 /MT 2 heterodimers. Collectively, our data extend the concept of asymmetry within GPCR dimers, reinforce the notion of receptor specificity for RGS proteins and highlight the advantage of GPCRs organized as dimers in which each protomer fulfils its specific task by binding to different GPCR-interacting proteins.
