fungal alpha-factor pheromone receptor STE2, member of the class D family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; This subfamily represents the alpha-factor pheromone receptor encoded by the STE2 gene, which is required for pheromone sensing and mating in haploid cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The STE2-encoded seven-transmembrane domain receptor is a member of the class D GPCRs. Class D receptors are composed of two major subfamilies: Ste2 and Ste3. These two GPCRs (Ste2 and Ste3) sense the polypeptide mating pheromones, alpha-factor and a-factor, which activate a G protein-coupled receptors on the surface of the opposite yeast-mating haploid-types (MATa and MAT-alpha), respectively. Activation of these receptors by pheromones leads to activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal transduction cascades, G1 cell cycle arrest, and polarized cell growth in the direction of the partner cell (a process called shmooing), which ultimately induces cell-cell fusion and the formation of a diploid zygote. Like all GPCRs, these pheromone mating factor receptors possess the same basic architecture of seven-transmembrane (7TM) domains and share common signaling mechanisms; however, there is no significant sequence similarity either between Ste2 and Ste3, or between these two receptors and the other 7TM GPCRs. Thus, STE2 and STE3 represent phylogenetically distinct groups.

seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor superfamily; This hierarchical evolutionary model represents the seven-transmembrane (7TM) receptors, often referred to as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which transmit physiological signals from the outside of the cell to the inside via G proteins. GPCRs constitute the largest known superfamily of transmembrane receptors across the three kingdoms of life that respond to a wide variety of extracellular stimuli including peptides, lipids, neurotransmitters, amino acids, hormones, and sensory stimuli such as light, smell and taste. All GPCRs share a common structural architecture comprising of seven-transmembrane (TM) alpha-helices interconnected by three extracellular and three intracellular loops. A general feature of GPCR signaling is agonist-induced conformational changes in the receptors, leading to activation of the heterotrimeric G proteins, which consist of the guanine nucleotide-binding G-alpha subunit and the dimeric G-beta-gamma subunits. The activated G proteins then bind to and activate numerous downstream effector proteins, which generate second messengers that mediate a broad range of cellular and physiological processes. However, some 7TM receptors, such as the type 1 microbial rhodopsins, do not activate G proteins. Based on sequence similarity, GPCRs can be divided into six major classes: class A (the rhodopsin-like family), class B (the Methuselah-like, adhesion and secretin-like receptor family), class C (the metabotropic glutamate receptor family), class D (the fungal mating pheromone receptors), class E (the cAMP receptor family), and class F (the frizzled/smoothened receptor family). Nearly 800 human GPCR genes have been identified and are involved essentially in all major physiological processes. Approximately 40% of clinically marketed drugs mediate their effects through modulation of GPCR function for the treatment of a variety of human diseases including bacterial infections.

This image shows a graphical summary of conserved domains identified on the query sequence.
The Show Concise/Full Display button at the top of the page can be used to select the desired level of detail: only top scoring hits
(labeled illustration) or all hits
(labeled illustration).
Domains are color coded according to superfamilies
to which they have been assigned. Hits with scores that pass a domain-specific threshold
(specific hits) are drawn in bright colors.
Others (non-specific hits) and
superfamily placeholders are drawn in pastel colors.
if a domain or superfamily has been annotated with functional sites (conserved features),
they are mapped to the query sequence and indicated through sets of triangles
with the same color and shade of the domain or superfamily that provides the annotation. Mouse over the colored bars or triangles to see descriptions of the domains and features.
