Human endocannabinoid systems modulate multiple physiological processes mainly through the activation of cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2. Their high sequence similarity, low agonist selectivity, and lack of activation and G protein-coupling knowledge have hindered the development of therapeutic applications. Importantly, missing structural information has significantly held back the development of promising CB2-selective agonist drugs for treating inflammatory and neuropathic pain without the psychoactivity of CB1. Here, we report the cryoelectron microscopy structures of synthetic cannabinoid-bound CB2 and CB1 in complex with Gi, as well as agonist-bound CB2 crystal structure. Of important scientific and therapeutic benefit, our results reveal a diverse activation and signaling mechanism, the structural basis of CB2-selective agonists design, and the unexpected interaction of cholesterol with CB1, suggestive of its endogenous allosteric modulating role.

大麻受体-Gi复合结构揭示了激活和信号传导机制。

人体内大麻素系统主要通过激活大麻素受体CB1和CB2来调节多种生理过程。它们的高序列相似性,低激动剂选择性以及缺乏激活和G蛋白偶联知识阻碍了治疗应用的发展。重要的是,缺失的结构信息已大大阻碍了有前途的CB2选择性激动剂药物的开发,该药物可用于治疗无CB1的精神性炎症和神经性疼痛。在这里,我们报告与大麻素复合的合成大麻素结合的CB2和CB1的低温电子显微镜结构,以及激动剂结合的CB2晶体结构。我们的研究结果揭示了多种激活和信号传导机制,CB2选择性激动剂设计的结构基础,
