Characterization of ligands for the human T1R2 sweet taste receptor (obtention "Manfred Rothe Poster Award")

Résumé

The human sweet-taste receptor is a heterodimer composed of two class C G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR), T1R2 and T1R3. Both subunits possess a large N-terminal domain (NTD) linked to a heptahelical transmembrane domain (TM) by a cysteine rich domain (CRD) [1]. Cellular assays, molecular docking and mutagenesis studies have revealed that small sweet ligands interact primarily with the NTD of T1R2 (T1R2-NTD) [2, 3]. To further elucidate the contribution of T1R2-NTD to small sweet ligand binding, we overexpressed T1R2-NTD in Escherichia coli as inclusion bodies [4, 5]. Human T1R2-NTD was refolded and the correct formation of secondary structures was verified using circular dichroism. T1R2-NTD was then characterized for its ability to interact with a number of known sweet tasting ligands using intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence. We found the measured affinities with the wild-type T1R2-NTD are in agreement with cellular based assays conducted on the full-length receptor and sensory analysis in humans. Using site-directed mutagenesis, we confirmed the binding site of sucralose. This strategy will be used to study the binding mechanism of other sweeteners including sweet-tasting proteins, such as brazzein and monellin. 1.Nelson, G., et al., Mammalian sweet taste receptors.
