Title:
MUTANT G PROTEIN COUPLED RECEPTORS AND METHODS FOR SELECTING THEM
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2018164456
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide measures to cope with two serious problems associated with crystallization of GPCR, namely, their lack of stability in detergent and the fact that they exist in multiple conformations.SOLUTION: There is disclosed herein a method for selecting G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) with increased stability, which comprises the steps of: (a) providing one or more mutants of a parent GPCR; (b) selecting a ligand that binds to the parent GPCR when the parent GPCR is residing in a particular conformation; (c) determining whether the mutant GPCR or each has increased stability with respect to binding to the selected ligand compared to the stability of the parent GPCR regarding to the binding of the selected ligand; and (d) selecting those mutants that have an increased stability compared to the parent GPCR with respect to binding of the selected ligand. Also disclosed are variants of a β-adrenergic receptor, an adenosine receptor and a neurotensin receptor.SELECTED DRAWING: None
