A consistent structural description of the molecular change underlying the conversion of GPCRs from an inactive R state to an active R* state is lacking. Here, we show that a series of constitutively active 5-HT 4 receptors (mutated or truncated in the C-terminal and the third intracellular loop) were characterized by an increase in their denaturation rate at 55°C. The thermal denaturation kinetics were monophasic, suggesting that we were measuring mainly the denaturation rate of R*. Analysis of these kinetics revealed that constitutively active C-terminal domain mutants, were due to a change in the J constant governing the R/R* equilibrium. However, the constitutive activity of the receptor mutated within the third intracellular loop was the result of both a change in the allosteric J constant and a change in the R* conformation.

These engineered GPCRs, called receptors activated solely by synthetic ligands (RASSLs), are unresponsive to endogenous ligands but can be activated by nanomolar concentrations of pharmacologically inert, drug-like small molecules. Currently, RASSLs exist for the three major GPCR signaling pathways (G s , G i and G q ). We review these advances here to facilitate the use of these powerful and diverse tools.

However, their role in GPCR-operated Erk1/2 activation differs between GPCRs and the underlying mechanism remains poorly characterized. Here, we show that activation of serotonin 5-HT 2C receptors, which engage Erk1/2 pathway via a b-arrestin-dependent mechanism, promotes MEKdependent b-arrestin2 phosphorylation at Thr 383 , a necessary step for Erk recruitment to the receptor/b-arrestin complex and Erk activation. Likewise, Thr 383 phosphorylation is involved in barrestin-dependent Erk1/2 stimulation elicited by other GPCRs such as b 2-adrenergic, FSH and CXCR4 receptors, but does not affect the b-arrestin-independent Erk1/2 activation by 5-HT 4 receptor. Collectively, these data show that b-arrestin2 phosphorylation at Thr 383 underlies barrestin-dependent Erk1/2 activation by GPCRs.

The drugs currently used against AD, mainly acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEI), are considered clinically insufficient and are responsible for deleterious side effects. AChE is, however, currently receiving renewed interest through the discovery of a chaperone role played in the pathogenesis of AD. But AChE could also serve as an activating protein for pleiotropic prodrugs. Indeed, inhibiting central AChE with brain-penetrating designed carbamates which are able to covalently bind to the enzyme and to concomitantly liberate active metabolites in the brain could constitute a clinically more efficient approach which, additionally, is less likely to cause peripheral side effects. We aim in this article to pave the road of this new avenue with an in vitro and in vivo study of pleiotropic prodrugs targeting both the 5-HT4 receptor and AChE, in order to display a neuroprotective a...

The complexity of the pathology continues to challenge its comprehension and the implementation of effective treatments. In the last decade, a number of possible targets of intervention have been pointed out, among which the stimulation of 5-HT4 receptors (5-HT4Rs) seems very promising. 5-HT4R agonists exert pro-cognitive effects, inhibit amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) production and therefore directly and positively impact AD progression. In the present work, we investigated the effects of RS 67333, a partial 5-HT4R agonist, after chronic administration in the 5xFAD mouse model of AD. 5xFAD male mice and their wild type (WT) male littermates received either RS 67333 or vehicle solution i.p., twice a week, for 2 or 4 months. Cognitive performance was evaluated in a hippocampal-dependent behavioral task, the olfactory tubing maze (OTM). Mice were then sacrificed to evaluate the metabolism of the am...

It is thus not surprising that 5-HT can control biological processes independently of its receptors. One example is serotonylation, which consists of covalent binding of 5-HT to the primary amine of glutamine. Over the past 20 years, serotonylation has been involved in the regulation of many signaling mechanisms. One of the most striking examples is the recent evidence that serotonylation of histone H3 constitutes an epigenetic mark. However, the pathophysiological role of histone H3 serotonylation remains to be discovered. All but one of the 5-HT receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The signaling pathways they control are finely tuned, and new, unexpected regulatory mechanisms are being uncovered continuously. Some 5-HT receptors (5-HT 2C , 5-HT 4 , 5-HT 6 , and 5-HT 7) signal through mechanisms that require neither G-proteins nor β-arrestins, the two classical and almost universal GPCR signal transducers. 5-HT 6 receptors are constitutively activated via their association with intracellular GPCR-interacting proteins (GIPs), including neurofibromin 1, cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5), and G-protein-regulated inducer of neurite outgrowth 1 (GPRIN1). Interactions of 5-HT 6 receptor with Cdk5 and GPRIN1 are not concomitant but occur sequentially and play a key role in dendritic tree morphogenesis. Furthermore, 5-HT 6 receptor-mediated G-protein signaling in neurons is different in the cell body and primary cilium, where it is modulated by smoothened receptor activation. Finally, 5-HT 2A receptors form heteromers with mGlu 2 metabotropic glutamate receptors. This heteromerization results in a specific phosphorylation of mGlu 2 receptor on a serine residue (Ser 843) upon agonist stimulation of 5-HT 2A or mGlu 2 receptor. mGlu 2 receptor phosphorylation on Ser 843 is an essential step in engagement of G i/o signaling not only upon mGlu 2 receptor activation but also following 5-HT 2A receptor activation, and thus represents a key molecular event underlying functional crosstalk between both receptors.
