Abstract

Multimeric membrane proteins are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum and transported to their target membranes which, for ion channels, is typically the plasma membrane. Despite the availability of many fully assembled channel structures, our understanding of assembly intermediates, multimer assembly mechanisms, and potential functions of non-standard assemblies is limited. We demonstrate that the pentameric ligand-gated serotonin 5-HT3A receptor (5-HT3AR) can assemble to tetrameric forms and report the structures of the tetramers in plasma membranes of cell-derived microvesicles and in membrane memetics using cryo-electron microscopy and tomography. The tetrameric structures have near-symmetric transmembrane domains, and asymmetric extracellular domains, and can bind serotonin molecules. Computer simulations, based on our cryo-EM structures, were used to decipher the assembly pathway of pentameric 5-HT3R and suggest a potential functional role for the tetrameric receptors.

羟色胺门控 5-HT3A 受体离子通道的四聚体结构。
多聚膜蛋白在内质网中产生,并被运输到其目标膜上,对于离子通道来说,目标膜通常是质膜。尽管有许多完全组装的通道结构,但我们对组装中间体、多聚体组装机制以及非标准组装的潜在功能的了解还很有限。我们证明了五聚体配体门控血清素 5-HT3A 受体(5-HT3AR)可以组装成四聚体形式,并利用冷冻电镜和断层扫描技术报告了细胞衍生微囊质膜和膜记忆体中的四聚体结构。四聚体结构具有近乎对称的跨膜结构域和不对称的胞外结构域,并能与血清素分子结合。根据我们的冷冻电镜结构进行的计算机模拟破解了五聚体 5-HT3R 的组装途径,并提出了四聚体受体的潜在功能作用。
