Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) can engage distinct subsets of signaling pathways, but the structural determinants of this functional selectivity remain elusive. The naturally occurring genetic variants of GPCRs, selectively affecting different pathways, offer an opportunity to explore this phenomenon. We previously identified 40 coding variants of the MTNR1B gene encoding the melatonin MT2 receptor (MT2). These mutations differently impact the β-arrestin 2 recruitment, ERK activation, cAMP production, and Gαi1 and Gαz activation. In this study, we combined functional clustering and structural modeling to delineate the molecular features controlling the MT2 functional selectivity. Using non-negative matrix factorization, we analyzed the signaling signatures of the 40 MT2 variants yielding eight clusters defined by unique signaling features and localized in distinct domains of MT2. Using computational homology modeling, we describe how specific mutations can selectively affect the subsets of signaling pathways and offer a proof of principle that natural variants can be used to explore and understand the GPCR functional selectivity.
