Identifying key residues and key interactions for the binding of LEAP2 to receptor GHSR1a.

Li HZ, Shou LL, Shao XX, Liu YL, Xu ZG, Guo ZY

Liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 (LEAP2) was recently identified as a competitive antagonist for the G protein-coupled receptor GHSR1a, the cognate receptor for the gastric peptide ghrelin. LEAP2 plays important functions in energy metabolism by tuning the ghrelin-GHSR1a system. However, the molecular mechanism by which LEAP2 binds to GHSR1a is largely unknown. In the present study, we first conducted alanine-scanning mutagenesis ... [more]
