  1. Modelling the Structures of G Protein-Coupled Receptors Aided by Three-Dimensional Validation by Siavoush Dastmalchi Tabriz University of Medical Sciences Tabriz-Iran

  2. Biological functions of IMPs: • Channels and Pumps (Cl-channels, Na+/K+-ATPase) • Maintaining appropriate contact (fibronectin receptors) • Signal transducing proteins (GPCRs) • Respiratory enzyme complexes • Toxin and pathogen entry regulating proteins (neuraminidase)

  3. IMPs are abundant • 35-40% of yeast genes • and ~20% of all human genes code for IMPs • Sparse structural knowledge about IMPs • Few high-resolution 3D structures are available • Difficult to grow crystals

  4. Structurally solved IMPs: • Bacteriorhodopsin • Cytochrome C oxidase • Light harvesting complex • Photosynthetic reaction center • Porin

  5. IMP graphics

  6. Required information: • Location of transmembrane (TM) segments • Basic topology of TM domain • Orientation of TM segments • Relative depth of TM segments in lipid

  15. Distribution of raw Profiles-3D and lipid-corrected compatibility score values of 493 GPCRs models represented by open circle and closed circle respectively.

  16. Improvement of Compatibility Score • It is clear that by simulation of a lipid environment around the model the total compatibility score is increased. • This is an indication that for reasonable modelling of IMPs, the correct environment needs to be used in term of model building and verification.

  24. Our method can be used for evaluation of 3D models of GPCRs Advantages of this method lies in its 3D characteristic & environmental sensitivity In the case GPCRs, we used simple modelling procedure & the sampling method didn’t cover all possible conformational space Predicting the positions and incorporating the possible irregular geometries in the helical regions, and using sampling methods in positioning different segments of TMHs, followed by scoring the models with our method may further improve the quality of the models. Results provided here suggest that probably there is no unique consensus template for modeling GPCRs. However, Baldwin model or even the crystal structure of rhodopsin can be a good starting point. Meanwhile, the quality of the model can be assessed and improved by taking in to account environmental considerations. Summary & Conclusion
