Structural basis and physiological significance of non-canonical Gs coupling to the prototypical Gi-coupled melatonin MT1 receptor
Atsuro Oishi, Hiroyuki H. Okamoto, Keisuke Ikegami…·Ralf Jockers
The paper shows MT1, a Gi-coupled receptor, can also couple to Gs proteins, activates the Gs/cAMP pathway under long-term melatonin exposure, and presents the first solved structure of a Gi-coupled receptor-Gs complex.
