GPCR (G protein-coupled receptor) signaling utilizes an allosteric coupling between the extracellular facing ligand-binding pocket and the cytoplasmic domain of the receptor selectively interacting with a signal transducer. This allosteric effect enables one site of the receptor to regulate the function of another spatially distinct region. Therefore, it is important to understand the molecular mechanisms behind ligand-induced changes in receptor conformation and specific transducer-recognition for the development of GPCR-based drugs. This symposium is dedicated to discussing the latest trends on the structurefunction studies to explore the molecular basis of GPCR signal transduction. Six presenters presented the latest GPCR research using their specialized methods (Fig. 1). Ikuo Masuho developed a single-platform assay for profiling GPCR activity on a nearly complete set of G protein substrates.(Masuho et al. 2018) Masataka Yanagawa analyzed the dynamic behavior of GPCRs by observing single receptor molecules in a living cell. He and his group have developed a single-molecule imaging analysis for assessing the effects of ligands on GPCRs.(Yanagawa et al. 2018) Hideaki Kato determined the structure of the human neurotensin receptor 1 (NTSR1)-G protein complex by cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) single-particle analysis (Fig. 1).(Kato et al. 2019).Hiroshi Kofuku measured the dynamics of GPCRs using NMR. To understand the mechanism underlying the formation of the phosphorylated GPCR-arrestin complex, they performed NMR analyses of the phosphorylated β2-adrenoceptor (β2AR) and the phosphorylated β2AR-β-arrestin 1 complex in the lipid bilayers of nanodisc.(Kofuku et al. 2018) Satoshi Yasuda presented the search for thermostabilizing mutations in GPCRs on the basis of theoretical prediction. He and his group developed a theoretical prediction method for thermostabilizing mutations using their free-energy function which is focused on the translational entropy of nonpolar chains within the lipid bilayer as the entropic term and the protein intramolecular hydrogen bonding as the energetic term.(Yasuda et al. 2017)
