Structural insights into physiological activation and antagonism of melanin-concentrating hormone receptor MCHR1

Abstract

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a 19-amino-acid neuropeptide playing crucial roles in energy homeostasis, sleep, and various physiological processes. It acts through two G protein-coupled receptors, MCHR1 and MCHR2, with MCHR1 being universally present in mammals and a potential target for treating metabolic and mental health conditions. However, drug development efforts have been impeded by the lack of structural information. Here, we present the cryo-EM structures of MCHR1 in its active state complexed with MCH and G i1 , as well as in its inactive state bound to a selective antagonist SNAP-94847. Structural and mutagenesis analyses disclosed the recognition mechanisms for both MCH and SNAP-94847, the activation mechanism and antagonism of MCHR1, and the determinants of ligand specificity. These findings are expected to accelerate the development of better drugs targeting the MCH system.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
