Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (aGPCRs) are characterized by the presence of auto-proteolysing extracellular regions (ECRs) involved in cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions. Self-cleavage within the aGPCR auto-proteolysis-inducing (GAIN) domain produces two protomers, N-terminal and C-terminal fragments (NTF and CTF), that remain non-covalently attached after receptors reach the cell surface. Upon NTF dissociation, the C-terminus of the GAIN domain acts as a tethered agonist (TA) peptide to activate the 7-transmembrane (7TM) domain with a mechanism that has been poorly understood. Here we provide cryo-EM snapshots of two distinct members of the aGPCR family, GPR56 and Latrophilin-3 (LPHN3). Low resolution maps of the receptors in their NTF-bound state indicate that the GAIN domain projects flexibly towards the extracellular space, keeping the encrypted TA peptide away from the 7TM. High resolution structures of GPR56 and LPHN3 in their active, G protein-coupled states, reveal that after ECR dissociation, the decrypted TA peptides engage the 7TM core with a remarkable conservation of interactions that also involve extracellular loop 2 (ECL2). TA binding stabilizes breaks in the middle of TM6 and TM7 that facilitates aGPCR coupling and activation of heterotrimeric G proteins. Collectively, these results enable us to propose a general model for aGPCR activation.
