Molecular recognition of formylpeptides and diverse agonists by the formylpeptide receptors FPR1 and FPR2
Abstract
Zhuang et al. report four cryo-EM structures of formylpeptide receptors FPR1 and FPR2 coupled with Gi protein and diverse agonists, revealing how FPRs as pattern recognition receptors recognize formylpeptides and synthetic agonists and a distinctive receptor activation mechanism.
