S-F-L-L-R-N
Protease activated receptor (PAR)Protease activated receptor (PAR)
Thrombin (LARGE GREEN SPHERE) recognizes the N terminal of the thrombin receptor called PAR1. The c-terminal (RED oval) and the N-terminal (Blue oval) are involved in the binding. This is similar to the sequence of the thrombin hyrudin inhibitor. Thrombin cleaves the peptide bond between Arg 41 and Ser42. This unmasks a sequence S-F-L-L-R-N. This is sequence that the receptor recognizes and is activated. The synthetic S-F-L-L-R-N activates the PAR-1 receptor independent of the cleavage

AGONIST-INVERSE AGONIST - AGONIST-INVERSE AGONIST - ANTAGONISTANTAGONIST
● Drug effects can be classified into three major phenotypes: agonistagonist, , antagonistantagonist and inverse and inverse agonistagonist. .
● AgonistAgonist and inverse agonistinverse agonist effects are associated with receptor activation and inactivation, respectively
● AntagonismAntagonism implies that a drug produces no effect when administered alone but blocks the effects of agonists and inverse agonists.

1) Inverse agonistInverse agonist (propranolol) binds to the rr form of the receptor and the activity of the system is suppressed below its normal spontaneous state2) In between fullfull and and inverse agonistsinverse agonists are those agonists that bind to
both rr and RR states. These are partial agonistspartial agonists. These are unable to achieve maximal stimulation even if all receptor binding sites are occupiedInverse agonism offers a potential of developing new drugs that attenuate the effect of mutant receptors that are constitutively active
3) The neutral antagonistsneutral antagonists (-blockers such as pindolol) bind to both rr
and RR conformations and are better regarded as passive antagonistspassive antagonists They impede the binding of both agonists and inverse agonists.Therefore, pindolol affects the heart only during exercise and stress while propranolol also suppresses the resting heart rate

F R E T fluorescence resonance energy transfer
A donor chromophore, in its electronic excited state, may transfer energy to an acceptor chromophore (in
close proximity < 10nm) through Non-radiative dipole-dipole coupling
When both chromophores are fluorescent, the term
"fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)" is often used instead, although the energy is not
actually transferred by fluorescence

How is the receptor activated ?
● Previous biophysical studies on the 2-AR suggest that agonist
binding and activation occurs through at least one
conformational intermediate, implying that at least one
molecular switch is involved.
● These studies also show that structurally different agonistsdifferent agonists and
partial agonistspartial agonists differ in their ability to induceinduce specific
conformational transitions.

Fluorescence studies of receptor activation
These studies show that 2ARs labeled at Cys265Cys265 on the cytoplasmic end
of TM6, adjacent to the G protein–coupling domain,
is able to report conformational changes in the G protein–coupling domain.
These modifications alter the molecular environment around the
fluorophorefluorophore, which is translated to changes in fluorescence intensity and
fluorescence lifetime. In these experiments, fluorescence lifetime analysis
can detect discrete conformational states in a population of molecules,
while fluorescence intensity measurements reflect their weighted average

Molecular model of the agonist binding pocket of the 2AR
The model was generated using the crystal structure of rhodopsin as a template. TM segments involved in agonist binding are colored as follows: red, TM3; green, TM5; blue, TM6. A, the proposed binding site for isoproterenol.B, salbutamol docked into the upper (extracellular) region of the binding pocket. The aromatic ring of salbutamol interacts with Tyr-174, Phe-193, and Tyr-1995.38.

3D structure of the adrenergic receptorHigh-resolution structural information is essential for understanding
molecular mechanisms of protein function; however, some limitations of crystallography must be recognized.
In forming a crystal, a protein becomes locked in a single conformational state. This is a significant drawback when one considers the body of functional and biophysical evidence that GPCRs are conformationally
complex and dynamic proteins.
They do not behave as simple bimodal switches but adopt conformations that are specific for the bound ligand and the associated signaling partner
(e.g. G proteins, arrestins). In the reported crystal structures, the conformation of the 2AR bound to carazolol is close to an inactive state. Carazolol is an inverse agonist, but suppresses not, very similar 50% of
basal activity in the 2AR.
Therefore, the 2AR structure might not represent a fully inactive receptor and could differ significantly from the unliganded receptor or one of the
potential active states.
