Fig. 1

a Schematic illustration of 5-HT receptors coupling to distinct G proteins upon stimulation by 5-HT and 5-CT. 5-HT1 and 5-HT5 belong to Gi/o-coupled 5-HT receptors. 5-HT1 subfamily includes 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, 5-HT1E, and 5-HT1F. Different from other 5-HT receptor subtypes, 5-HT3 is an ion channel. b, c Orthogonal views of the density map (b) and model (c) for the 5-CT5-HT5AGiscFv16 complex. The EM density of 5-CT is shown as cyan surface presentation. d The extracellular view of the 5-HT5A. The complex is colored by subunits. Light pink, 5-HT5A; cyan, 5-CT; blue, Gαi; salmon, Gβ; light green, Gγ; light blue, scFv16.
