Extended Data Fig. 4

(a) Comparison of the PCO371–PTH1R–Gs complex with endogenous peptide-bound and orthosteric chemical agonist-bound class B1 GPCR complexes. Because there is no structure of orthosteric chemical agonist-bound PTH1R structure, we used LY3502970 (a proprietary GLP-1 receptor agonist)–GLP-1R–Gs to represent the structures of orthosteric chemical agonist-bound class B1 GPCRs. Orthogonal views and models show PTH–PTH1R–Gs (PDB: 7VVL), PCO371–PTH1R–Gs (8GW8), and LY3502970–GLP-1R–Gs (PDB: 6XOX). Green, PTH-bound PTH1R; orange, PTH; yellow, mini-Gs Ras-like domain; tomato, Gβ1; navy, Gγ2; powder blue, Nb35; violet, PCO371-bound PTH1R; crimson, LY3502970-bound GLP-1R; sky blue, LY3502970. Gray, PTH–PTH1R–Gs; violet, PCO371–PTH1R–Gs; red, LY3502970–GLP-1R–Gs. The PCO371-bound PTH1R map shows no obvious ligand-like density in the orthosteric pocket, in contrast to the PTH-bound PTH1R and LY3502970-bound GLP-1R maps. (b) Cut-through views of endogenous peptide-bound PTH1R and GLP-1R structures and chemical agonist-bound GLP-1R structures. Green, PTH-bound PTH1R; orange, PTH; white, GLP-1R; yellow-green, GLP-1; violet, PCO371-bound PTH1R; crimson, PCO371; yellow, CHU-128-bound GLP-1R; blue-violet, CHU-128; purple, danuglipron (PF-06882961)-bound GLP-1R; khaki, PF-06882961; red, LY3502970-bound GLP-1R; sky blue, LY3502970. Only PCO371 binds within the intracellular cavity, whereas other agonists bind in various ways to the orthosteric pocket.
