Computer simulations on a new model of the
1b-adrenergic receptor
based on the crystal structure of rhodopsin have been combined with
experimental mutagenesis to investigate the role of residues in the
cytosolic half of helix 6 in receptor activation. Our results support
the hypothesis that a salt bridge between the highly conserved arginine
(R1433.50) of the E/DRY motif of helix 3 and a conserved
glutamate (E2896.30) on helix 6 constrains the
1b-AR in
the inactive state. In fact, mutations of E2896.30 that
weakened the R1433.50-E2896.30 interaction
constitutively activated the receptor. The functional effect of
mutating other amino acids on helix 6 (F2866.27,
A2926.33, L2966.37, V2996.40,
V3006.41, and F3036.44) correlates with the
extent of their interaction with helix 3 and in particular with
R1433.50 of the E/DRY sequence.
