A rhodopsin-based homology model of the P2Y(14) receptor was inserted into a phospholipid bilayer and refined by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The binding modes of several known agonists, namely UDP-glucose and its analogues, were proposed using automatic molecular docking combined with Monte Carlo Multiple Minimum calculations. Compared to other P2Y receptors, the P2Y(14) receptor has an atypical binding mode of the nucleobase, ribose, and phosphate moieties. The diphosphate moiety interacts with only one cationic residue, namely Lys171 of EL2, while in other P2Y receptor subtypes three Arg or Lys residues interact with the phosphate chain. Two other conserved cationic residues, namely Arg253 (6.55) and Lys277 (7.35) of the P2Y(14) receptor together with two anionic residues (Glu166 and Glul74, located in EL2), are likely involved in interactions with the distal hexose moiety.
