Lipids are emerging as key regulators of membrane protein structure and activity. Such effects can either be attributed to modification in bilayer properties (thickness, curvature and surface tension) or to binding of specific lipids to the protein surface. For G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs), the effect of phospholipids on receptor structure and activity remains poorly understood. Here we reconstituted purified β2-adrenergic receptor in High-Density-Lipoparticles to systematically characterize the effect of biologically relevant phospholipids on receptor activity. We observe that the lipid head-group type affects ligand binding (agonist and antagonist) and receptor activation. Specifically, phosphatidylgycerol markedly favors agonist binding and facilitates receptor activation while phosphatidylethanolamine favors antagonist binding and stabilizes the inactive state of the receptor. We then show that these effects can be recapitulated with detergent-solubilized lipids, demonstrating that the functional modulation occurs in the absence of a bilayer. Our data suggest that phospholipids act as direct allosteric modulators of GPCR activity.
