Fig. 3. Molecular recognition of tirzepatide by GIPR and GLP-1R.

Fig. 3

a Structural comparison of tirzepatide–GIPR–Gs and tirzepatide–GLP-1R–Gs. Receptor ECD and G protein are omitted for clarity. b Interactions between tirzepatide (salmon) and the TMD of GIPR (yellow green). Residues involved in interactions are shown as sticks. c Interactions between tirzepatide (light salmon) and the TMD of GLP-1R (dodger blue). Residues involved in interactions are shown as sticks. de Effects of receptor mutations on tirzepatide-induced cAMP accumulation. Data shown are means ± S.E.M. of three independent experiments (n = 3) performed in quadruplicate. f The peptide recognition modes are described by fingerprint strings encoding different interaction types of the surrounding residues in each receptor. Residues that show no interaction with receptors are displayed as white circles. Color codes are listed on the top panel. WT, wild-type. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
