摘要

Androgens, such as 5α-dihydrotestosterone , regulate numerous functions by binding to nuclear androgen receptors and potential unknown membrane receptors. Here, we report that the androgen 5α-DHT activates membrane receptor GPR133 in muscle cells, thereby increasing intracellular cyclic AMP levels and enhancing muscle strength. Further cryoelectron microscopy structural analysis of GPR133-Gs in complex with 5α-DHT or its derivative methenolone reveals the structural basis for androgen recogn...更多

Androgens, such as 5α-dihydrotestosterone , regulate numerous functions by binding to nuclear androgen receptors and potential unknown membrane receptors. Here, we report that the androgen 5α-DHT activates membrane receptor GPR133 in muscle cells, thereby increasing intracellular cyclic AMP levels and enhancing muscle strength. Further cryoelectron microscopy structural analysis of GPR133-Gs in complex with 5α-DHT or its derivative methenolone reveals the structural basis for androgen recognition. Notably, the presence of the “Φ-F-W” and the “F××N/D” motifs, which recognize the hydrophobic steroid core and polar groups, respectively, are common in adhesion GPCRs , suggesting that many aGPCRs may recognize different steroid hormones. Finally, we exploited in silico screening methods to identify a small molecule, AP503, which activates GPR133 and separates the beneficial muscle-strengthening effects from side effects mediated by AR. Thus, GPR133 represents an androgen membrane receptor that contributes to normal androgen physiology and has important therapeutic potentials.收起
