Abstract
Information about the structure, dynamics, and ligand-binding properties of biomolecules can be derived from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and provides valuable information for drug discovery. A multitude of experimental approaches provides a wealth of information that can be tailored to the system of interest. Methods to study the behavior of ligands upon target binding enable the identification of weak binders in a robust manner that is critical for the identification of truly novel binding interactions. This is particularly important for challenging targets. Observing the solution behavior of biomolecules yields information about their structure, dynamics, and interactions. This review describes the breadth of approaches that are available, many of which are under-utilized in a drug-discovery environment, and focuses on recent advances that continue to emerge.

The Potential of 19F NMR Application in GPCR Biased Drug Discovery. Trends Pharmacol Sci 2020; 42:19-30. [PMID: 33250272 DOI: 10.1016/j.tips.2020.11.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2020] [Revised: 10/16/2020] [Accepted: 11/02/2020] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
Although structure-based virtual drug discovery is revolutionizing the conventional high-throughput cell-based screening system, its limitation is obvious, together with other critical challenges. In particular, the resolved static snapshots fail to represent a full free-energy landscape due to homogenization in structural determination processing. The loss of conformational heterogeneity and related functional diversity emphasize the necessity of developing an approach that can fill this space. In this regard, NMR holds undeniable potential. However, outstanding questions regarding the NMR application remain. This review summarizes the limitations of current drug discovery and explores the potential of 19F NMR in establishing a conformation-guided drug screening system, advancing the cell- and structure-based discovery strategy for G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) biased drug screening.

Abstract
Saturation-transfer difference (STD) NMR spectroscopy is a fast and versatile method which can be applied for drug-screening purposes, allowing the determination of essential ligand binding affinities (KD). Although widely employed to study soluble proteins, its use remains negligible for membrane proteins. Here the use of STD NMR for KD determination is demonstrated for two competing substrates with very different binding affinities (low nanomolar to millimolar) for an integral membrane transport protein in both detergent-solubilised micelles and reconstituted proteoliposomes. GltPh, a homotrimeric aspartate transporter from Pyrococcus horikoshii, is an archaeal homolog of mammalian membrane transport proteins-known as excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs). They are found within the central nervous system and are responsible for fast uptake of the neurotransmitter glutamate, essential for neuronal function. Differences in both KD's and cooperativity are observed between detergent micelles and proteoliposomes, the physiological implications of which are discussed.

Abstract
The structural poses of ligands that bind weakly to protein receptors are challenging to define. In this work we have studied ligand interactions with the adrenoreceptor (AR) subtypes, α1A -AR and α1B -AR, which belong to the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, by employing the solution-based ligand-observed NMR method interligand NOEs for pharmacophore mapping (INPHARMA). A lack of receptor crystal structures and of subtype-selective drugs has hindered the definition of the physiological roles of each subtype and limited drug development. We determined the binding pose of the weakly binding α1A -AR-selective agonist A-61603 relative to an endogenous agonist, epinephrine, at both α1A -AR and α1B -AR. The NMR experimental data were quantitatively compared, by using SpINPHARMA, to the back-calculated spectra based on ligand poses obtained from all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. The results helped mechanistically explain the selectivity of (R)-A-61603 towards α1A -AR, thus demonstrating an approach for targeting subtype selectivity in ARs.

Abstract
Membrane proteins are important players in signal transduction and the exchange of metabolites within or between cells. Thus, this protein class is the target of around 60 % of currently marketed drugs, emphasizing their essential biological role. Besides functional assays, structural and dynamical investigations on this protein class are crucial to fully understanding their functionality. Even though X-ray crystallography and electron microscopy are the main methods to determine structures of membrane proteins and their complexes, NMR spectroscopy can contribute essential information on systems that (a) do not crystallize and (b) are too small for EM. Furthermore, NMR is a versatile tool for monitoring functional dynamics of biomolecules at various time scales. A crucial aspect of such studies is the use of a membrane mimetic that resembles a native environment and thus enables the extraction of functional insights. In recent decades, the membrane protein NMR community has moved from rather harsh detergents to membrane systems having more native-like properties. In particular, most recently phospholipid nanodiscs have been developed and optimized mainly for solution-state NMR but are now also being used for solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Nanodiscs consist of a patch of a planar lipid bilayer that is encircled by different (bio-)polymers to form particles of defined and tunable size. In this review, we provide an overview of available membrane mimetics, including nanodiscs, amphipols and bicelles, that are suitable for high-resolution NMR spectroscopy and describe how these advanced membrane mimetics can facilitate NMR studies on the structure and dynamics of membrane proteins. Since the stability of membrane proteins depends critically on the chosen membrane mimetic, we emphasize the importance of a suitable system that is not necessarily developed for solution-state NMR applications and hence requires optimization for each membrane protein. However, lipid-based membrane mimetics offer the possibility of performing NMR experiments at elevated temperatures and studying ligand and partner protein complexes as well as their functional dynamics in a realistic membrane environment. In order to be able to make an informed decision during the selection of a suitable membrane system, we provide a detailed overview of the available options for various membrane protein classes and thereby facilitate this often-difficult selection process for a broad range of desired NMR applications.

Abstract
In this review, we report NMR studies of ligand-GPCR interactions, including both ligand-observed and protein-observed NMR experiments. Published studies exemplify how NMR can be used as a powerful tool to design novel GPCR ligands and investigate the ligand-induced conformational changes of GPCRs. The strength of NMR also lies in its capability to explore the diverse signaling pathways and probe the allosteric modulation of these highly dynamic receptors. By offering unique opportunities for the identification, structural and functional characterization of GPCR ligands, NMR will likely play a major role for the generation of novel molecules both as new tools for the understanding of the GPCR function and as therapeutic compounds for a large diversity of pathologies.

Abstract
The 826 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the human proteome regulate key physiological processes and thus have long been attractive drug targets. With the crystal structures of more than 50 different human GPCRs determined over the past decade, an initial platform for structure-based rational design has been established for drugs that target GPCRs, which is currently being augmented with cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of higher-order GPCR complexes. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in solution is one of the key approaches for expanding this platform with dynamic features, which can be accessed at physiological temperature and with minimal modification of the wild-type GPCR covalent structures. Here, we review strategies for the use of advanced biochemistry and NMR techniques with GPCRs, survey projects in which crystal or cryo-EM structures have been complemented with NMR investigations and discuss the impact of this integrative approach on GPCR biology and drug discovery.

Abstract
Structural studies of integral membrane proteins have been limited by the intrinsic conformational flexibility and the need to stabilize the proteins in solution. Stabilization by mutagenesis was very successful for structural biology of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). However, it requires heavy protein engineering and may introduce structural deviations. Here we describe the use of specific calixarenes-based detergents for native GPCR stabilization. Wild type, full length human adenosine A2A receptor was used to exemplify the approach. We could stabilize native, glycosylated, non-aggregated and homogenous A2AR that maintained its ligand binding capacity. The benefit of the preparation for fragment screening, using the Saturation-Transfer Difference nuclear magnetic resonance (STD-NMR) experiment is reported. The binding of the agonist adenosine and the antagonist caffeine were observed and competition experiments with CGS-21680 and ZM241385 were performed, demonstrating the feasibility of the STD-based fragment screening on the native A2A receptor. Interestingly, adenosine was shown to bind a second binding site in the presence of the agonist CGS-21680 which corroborates published results obtained with molecular dynamics simulation. Fragment-like compounds identified using STD-NMR showed antagonistic effects on A2AR in the cAMP cellular assay. Taken together, our study shows that stabilization of native GPCRs represents an attractive approach for STD-based fragment screening and drug design.

Abstract
A selective agonist radioligand for A2B adenosine receptors (A2BARs) is currently not available. Such a tool would be useful for labeling the active conformation of the receptors. Therefore, we prepared BAY 60-6583, a potent and functionally selective A2BAR (partial) agonist, in a tritium-labeled form. Despite extensive efforts, however, we have not been able to establish a radioligand binding assay using [3H]BAY 60-6583. This is probably due to its high non-specific binding and its moderate affinity, which had previously been overestimated based on functional data. As an alternative, we evaluated the non-selective A2BAR agonist [3H]NECA for its potential to label A2BARs. [3H]NECA showed specific, saturable, and reversible binding to membrane preparations of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) or human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells stably expressing human, rat, or mouse A2BARs. In competition binding experiments, the AR agonists 2-chloroadenosine (CADO) and NECA displayed significantly higher affinity when tested versus [3H]NECA than versus the A2B-antagonist radioligand [3H]PSB-603 while structurally diverse AR antagonists showed the opposite effects. Although BAY 60-6583 is an A2BAR agonist, it displayed higher affinity versus [3H]PSB-603 than versus [3H]NECA. These results indicate that nucleoside and non-nucleoside agonists are binding to very different conformations of the A2BAR. In conclusion, [3H]NECA is currently the only useful radioligand for determining the affinity of ligands for an active A2BAR conformation.

Abstract
α1A- and α1B-adrenoceptors (α1A-AR and α1B-AR) are closely related G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that modulate the cardiovascular and nervous systems in response to binding epinephrine and norepinephrine. The GPCR gene superfamily is made up of numerous subfamilies that, like α1A-AR and α1B-AR, are activated by the same endogenous agonists but may modulate different physiological processes. A major challenge in GPCR research and drug discovery is determining how compounds interact with receptors at the molecular level, especially to assist in the optimization of drug leads. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) can provide great insight into ligand-binding epitopes, modes, and kinetics. Ideally, ligand-based NMR methods require purified, well-behaved protein samples. The instability of GPCRs upon purification in detergents, however, makes the application of NMR to study ligand binding challenging. Here, stabilized α1A-AR and α1B-AR variants were engineered using Cellular High-throughput Encapsulation, Solubilization, and Screening (CHESS), allowing the analysis of ligand binding with Saturation Transfer Difference NMR (STD NMR). STD NMR was used to map the binding epitopes of epinephrine and A-61603 to both receptors, revealing the molecular determinants for the selectivity of A-61603 for α1A-AR over α1B-AR. The use of stabilized GPCRs for ligand-observed NMR experiments will lead to a deeper understanding of binding processes and assist structure-based drug design.
