The melanocortin receptor (MCR) subtype family is a member of the GPCR superfamily and each of them has a different pharmacological profile regarding the relative potency of the endogenous and synthetic melanocortin peptides. α-MSH and ACTH are endogenous nonselective agonists for MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R. In this study, we examined the role of Phe7 in ACTH on Human (h)MC1R, MC3R and MC4R binding and signaling. Our results indicate that substitution of the Phe7 with DNal (2’)7 in ACTH1-24 has different pharmacological profile from that of substitution of the Phe7 with DNal (2’)7 in MSH at hMC1R, hMC3R and hMC4R. NDNal (2’)7-ACTH1-24 is an agonist at hMC3R and hMC4R which did not switch peptide from agonist to antagonist at hMC3R and hMC4R. Further experiments indicate that NDNal (2’)7-ACTH1-17 is the minimal peptide required for hMC3R and hMC4R activation. Single amino acid substitution studies of DNal (2’)7 ACTH1-17 indicate that the amino acid residues 15, 16 and 17 in NDNal (2’)7-ACTH1-17 are crucial for hMC3R and hMC4R activation. Substitutions of these amino acid residues reduced or abolished agonist activity at hMC3R and hMC4R. Conformational studies revealed a new β-turn (-Arg8-Trp9-Gly10-Lys11-) in NDNal (2’)7-ACTH1-17, compared to the β-turn like structure at NDP-α-MSH (–His6-DPhe7-Arg8-Trp9-). Our results suggest that NDP-α-MSH and NDNal (2’)7-ACTH1-17 does not share the same binding site; highly basic C terminal fragment Lys15-Lys16-Arg17 of NDNal (2’)7-ACTH1-17 induced a new β-turn and this shift contributed the selective agonist activity at hMC3R and hMC4R.
