Extended Data Fig. 5. Comparison of the PCO371-bound PTH1R conformation with other class B1 GPCR structures.

Extended Data Fig. 5

(a) Four active class B1 GPCRs (green, PTH1R; white, GLP-1R; pink, glucagon receptor [GCGR]; purple, corticotropin releasing factor receptor 1 [CRF1R]) are superimposed onto inactive or inactive-like structures. (b) PTH-bound PTH1R and PCO371-bound PTH1R are superimposed onto the ePTH-bound inactive-like PTH1R structure (green, PTH-bound PTH1R; orange, PTH; violet, PCO371-bound PTH1R; magenta, PCO371; gray, ePTH-bound PTH1R). PCO371-bound PTH1R exhibited the moderate kink in TM6 (approximately 145°), whereas PTH-bound PTH1R exhibited the typical sharp kink in TM6 (approximately 90°). (c) TM6 angle consisting of the three Cα atoms of the I/M/V6.39, G6.50, and A/V/L6.54 residues. (d) PCO371 directly stabilizes the intracellular half of TM6 in the outward conformation, which increases the volume in the inner cavity and activates the Gs protein.
