Fig. 2. Molecular recognition of GHRH by GHRHR and comparison of that with LA-PTH–PTH1R and GLP-1–GLP-1R.

Fig. 2

a Detailed interaction between GHRH and the TMD pocket of GHRHR with hydrogen bonds shown as dotted lines. b, c Pairwise comparison of GHRH bound to GHRHR with GLP-1 and LA-PTH in complex with their corresponding receptors, showing the relative positions of peptide ligands. Lime green, GHRHR; blue, GHRH; red, PTH1R and LA-PTH; purple, GLP-1R and GLP-1. df The effects of mutation in the ligand-binding pocket on cAMP accumulation. cAMP levels were measured in wild-type (WT) receptor and alanine mutants in ECL1, 2, and 3 (d), TM1, 2, and 3 (e), and TM5, 6, and 7 (f). cAMP signals were normalized to the maximum response of WT and concentration–response curves were analyzed using a three-parameter logistic equation. Data shown are means ± S.E.M. of at least three independent experiments (n = 3–5), conducted in triplicate. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
