We report that 4-(3-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-2-ethylsulfinyl-6-(trifluoromethyl) pyrimidine (BETP), which behaves as a positive allosteric modulator at the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R), covalently modifies cysteines 347 and 438 in GLP-1R. C347, located in intracellular loop 3 of GLP-1R, is critical to the activity of BETP and a structurally distinct GLP-1R ago-allosteric modulator, N-(tert-butyl)-6,7-dichloro3-(methylsulfonyl)quinoxalin-2-amine. We further show that substitution of cysteine for phenylalanine 345 in the glucagon receptor is sufficient to confer sensitivity to BETP.
