摘要


The melanocortin-5 receptor (MC5R) is a subtype receptor of the melanocortin receptor (MCR) family, which is expressed centrally, as well as in a variety of peripheral tissues. MC5R has been implicated in many different physiological fields such as lipid metabolism and exocrine function. However, the specific molecular determinants of MC5R responsible for ligand binding and receptor signaling are currently unknown. The aim of this study is to determine the molecular basis of human MC5R (hMC5R) responsible for ligand binding and receptor signaling. Twenty-four single mutations of hMC5R were created and tested. Our results indicate that (1) substituting charged amino acid residue E92 in transmembrane domain 2 (TM2), aspartic acid 115 (D115) and D119 in TM3, and histidine (H) 257 in TM6 with alanine dramatically reduced NDP-α-MSH binding affinity and receptor signaling and (2) substituting aromatic amino acids phenylalanine (F) 195 in TM5, F254 in TM6, and H276 in TM7 with alanine also significantly decreased NDP-α-MSH binding and receptor activity. Combining pharmacological results and computer modeling, our results suggest that D115 and D119 in TM3, F195 in TM5, and F254 in TM6 may form a binding pocket for NDP-α-MSH binding. Our results provide important information about the structural aspects of hMC5R responsible for ligand binding and receptor signaling.
