Structure of the class C orphan GPCR GPR158 in complex with RGS7-Gβ5

Abstract

The orphan GPR158 receptor belongs to the class C GPCR family and interacts with the regulator of G protein signaling 7 (RGS7)-Gβ5 complex. Here, the authors present the cryo-EM structure of human GPR158, which reveals that the extracellular domain contains a PAS domain, and they also determine the structures of GPR158 in complex with either one or two RGS7-Gβ5 heterodimers and discuss implications for the signaling mechanism.
