Mapping the ligand-binding site on a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) using genetically encoded photocrosslinkers.
We developed a general cell-based photocrosslinking approach to investigate the binding interfaces necessary for the formation of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling complexes. The two photoactivatable unnatural amino acids p-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine and p-azido-L-phenylalanine were incorporated by amber codon suppression technology into CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4). We then probed the ligand-binding site for the HIV-1 coreceptor blocker, T140, using a fluorescein-labeled T140 analogue. Among eight amino acid positions tested, we found a unique UV-light-dependent crosslink specifically between residue 189 and T140. These results are evaluated with molecular modeling using the crystal structure of CXCR4 bound to CVX15.
