GPCR proteolysis site, GPS, motif; The GPS motif is found in GPCRs, and is the site for auto-proteolysis, so is thus named, GPS. The GPS motif is a conserved sequence of ~40 amino acids containing canonical cysteine and tryptophan residues, and is the most highly conserved part of the domain. In most, if not all, cell-adhesion GPCRs these undergo autoproteolysis in the GPS between a conserved aliphatic residue (usually a leucine) and a threonine, serine, or cysteine residue. In higher eukaryotes this motif is found embedded in the C-terminal beta-stranded part of a GAIN domain - GPCR-Autoproteolysis INducing (GAIN). The GAIN-GPS domain adopts a fold in which the GPS motif, at the C-terminus, forms five beta-strands that are tightly integrated into the overall GAIN domain. The GPS motif, evolutionarily conserved from tetrahymena to mammals, is the only extracellular domain shared by all human cell-adhesion GPCRs and PKD proteins, and is the locus of multiple human disease mutations. The GAIN-GPS domain is both necessary and sufficient functionally for autoproteolysis, suggesting an autoproteolytic mechanism whereby the overall GAIN domain fine-tunes the chemical environment in the GPS to catalyze peptide bond hydrolysis. In the cell-adhesion GPCRs and PKD proteins, the GPS motif is always located at the end of their long N-terminal extracellular regions, immediately before the first transmembrane helix of the respective protein.

7 transmembrane receptor (Secretin family); This family is known as Family B, the secretin-receptor family or family 2 of the G-protein-coupled receptors (GCPRs). They have been described in many animal species, but not in plants, fungi or prokaryotes. Three distinct sub-families are recognized. Subfamily B1 contains classical hormone receptors, such as receptors for secretin and glucagon, that are all involved in cAMP-mediated signalling pathways. Subfamily B2 contains receptors with long extracellular N-termini, such as the leukocyte cell-surface antigen CD97; calcium-independent receptors for latrotoxin, and brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitors amongst others. Subfamily B3 includes Methuselah and other Drosophila proteins. Other than the typical seven-transmembrane region, characteriztic structural features include an amino-terminal extracellular domain involved in ligand binding, and an intracellular loop (IC3) required for specific G-protein coupling.

orphan GPR126 and related proteins, group VIII adhesion GPCRs, member of the class B2 family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; Group VIII adhesion GPCRs include orphan GPCRs such as GPR56, GPR64, GPR97, GPR112, GPR114, and GPR126. GPR56 is involved in the regulation of oligodendrocyte development and myelination in the central nervous system via coupling to G(12/13) proteins, which leads to the activation of RhoA GTPase. GPR126, on the other hand, is required for Schwann cells, but not oligodendrocyte myelination in the peripheral nervous system. Gpr64 is mainly expressed in the epididymis of male reproductive tract, and targeted deletion of GPR64 causes sperm stasis and efferent duct blockage due to abnormal fluid reabsorption, resulting in male infertility. GPR64 is also over-expressed in Ewing's sarcoma (ES), as well as upregulated in other carcinomas from kidney, prostate or lung, and promotes invasiveness and metastasis in ES via the upregulation of placental growth factor (PGF) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 1. GPR97 is identified as a lymphatic adhesion receptor that is specifically expressed in lymphatic endothelium, but not in blood vascular endothelium, and is shown to regulate migration of lymphatic endothelial cells via the small GTPases RhoA and cdc42. GPR112 is specifically expressed in normal enterochromatin cells and gastrointestinal neuroendocrine carcinoma cells, but its biological function is unknown. GPR114 is mainly found in granulocytes (polymorphonuclear leukocytes), and GPR114-transfected cells induced an increase in cAMP levels via coupling to G(s) protein. The adhesion receptors are characterized by the presence of large N-terminal extracellular domains containing multiple adhesion motifs, which play critical roles in cell-cell adhesion and cell-matrix interactions, that are coupled to a class B seven-transmembrane domain. Furthermore, almost all adhesion receptors, except GPR123, contain an evolutionarily conserved GPCR- autoproteolysis inducing (GAIN) domain that undergoes autoproteolytic processing at the GPCR proteolysis site (GPS) motif located immediately N-terminal to the first transmembrane region, to generate N- and C-terminal fragments (NTF and CTF), which may serve important biological functions.

class B family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; The class B of seven-transmembrane GPCRs is classified into three major subfamilies: subfamily B1 (secretin-like receptor family), B2 (adhesion family), and B3 (Methuselah-like family). The class B receptors have been identified in all the vertebrates, from fishes to mammals, as well as invertebrates including Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster, but are not present in plants, fungi or prokaryotes. The B1 subfamily comprises receptors for polypeptide hormones of 27-141 amino-acid residues such as secretin, glucagon, glucagon-like peptide (GLP), calcitonin gene-related peptide, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and corticotropin-releasing factor. These receptors contain the large N-terminal extracellular domain (ECD), which plays a critical role in hormone recognition by binding to the C-terminal portion of the peptide. On the other hand, the N-terminal segment of the hormone induces receptor activation by interacting with the receptor transmembrane domains and connecting extracellular loops, triggering intracellular signaling pathways. All members of the subfamily B1 receptors preferentially couple to G proteins of G(s) family, which positively stimulate adenylate cyclase, leading to increased intracellular cAMP formation and calcium influx. The subfamily B2 consists of cell-adhesion receptors with 33 members in humans and vertebrates. The adhesion receptors are characterized by the presence of large N-terminal extracellular domains containing a variety of structural motifs, which play critical roles in cell-cell adhesion and cell-matrix interactions, linked to a class B seven-transmembrane domain. These include, for example, EGF (epidermal growth factor)-like domains in CD97, Celsr1 (cadherin family member), Celsr2, Celsr3, EMR1 (EGF-module-containing mucin-like hormone receptor-like 1), EMR2, EMR3, and Flamingo; two laminin A G-type repeats and nine cadherin domains in Flamingo and its human orthologs Celsr1, Celsr2 and Celsr3; olfactomedin-like domains in the latrotoxin receptors; and five or four thrombospondin type 1 repeats in BAI1 (brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1), BAI2 and BAI3. Almost all adhesion receptors, except GPR123, contain an evolutionarily conserved GPCR- autoproteolysis inducing (GAIN) domain that undergoes autoproteolytic processing at the GPCR proteolysis site (GPS) motif located immediately N-terminal to the first transmembrane region, to generate N- and C-terminal fragments (NTF and CTF), which may serve important biological functions. Furthermore, the subfamily B3 includes Methuselah (Mth) protein, which was originally identified in Drosophila as a GPCR affecting stress resistance and aging, and its closely related proteins.

epidermal growth factor-like module-containing mucin-like hormone receptors, member of the class B2 family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; group II adhesion GPCRs, including the epidermal growth factor (EGF)-module-containing, mucin-like hormone receptor (EMR1-4) and the leukocyte cell-surface antigen CD97, are primarily expressed in cells of the immune system. All EGF-TM7 receptors, which belong to the B2 subfamily of adhesion GPCRs, are members of group II, except for ETL (EGF-TM7-latrophilin related protein), which is classified into group I. Members of the EGF-TM7 receptors are characterized by the presence of varying number of N-terminal EGF-like domains, which play critical roles in ligand recognition and cell adhesion, linked by a stalk region to a class B seven-transmembrane domain. In the case of EMR2, alternative splicing results in four isoforms possessing either two (EGF1,2), three (EGF1,2,5), four (EGF1,2,3,5) or five (EGF1,2,3,4,5) EGF-like domains. Moreover, almost all adhesion receptors, except GPR123, contain an evolutionarily conserved GPCR-autoproteolysis inducing (GAIN) domain that undergoes autoproteolytic processing at the GPCR proteolysis site (GPS) motif located immediately N-terminal to the first transmembrane region, to generate N- and C-terminal fragments (NTF and CTF), which may serve important biological functions. EMR2 shares strong sequence homology with CD97, differing by only six amino acids. CD97 is widely expressed on lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, granulocytes and smooth muscle cells as well as in a variety of human tumors including colorectal, gastric, esophageal pancreatic, and thyroid carcinoma. However, unlike CD97, EMR2 is not found in those of CD97-positive tumor cells and is not expressed on lymphocytes but instead on monocytes, macrophages and granulocytes. CD97 has three known ligands: CD55, decay-accelerating factor for regulation of complement system; chondroitin sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan found in the extracellular matrix; and the integrin alpha5beta1, which play a role in angiogenesis. Although EMR2 does not effectively interact with CD55, the fourth EGF-like domain of this receptor binds to chondroitin sulfate to mediate cell attachment.

Latrophilins and similar receptors, group I adhesion GPCRs, member of class B2 family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; Group I adhesion GPCRs consist of latrophilins (also called lectomedins or latrotoxin receptors) and ETL (EGF-TM7-latrophilin-related protein. These receptors are a member of the adhesion family (subclass B2) that belongs to the class B GPCRs. Three subtypes of latrophilins have been identified: LPH1 (latrophilin-1), LPH2, and LPH3. The latrophilin-1 is a brain-specific calcium-independent receptor of alpha-latrotoxin, a potent presynaptic neurotoxin from the venom of the black widow spider that induces massive neurotransmitter release from sensory and motor neurons as well as endocrine cells, leading to nerve-terminal degeneration. Latrophilin-2 and -3, although sharing strong sequence homology to latrophilin-1, do not bind alpha-latrotoxin. While latrophilin-3 is also brain specific, latrophilin-2 is ubiquitously distributed. The endogenous ligands for these two receptors are unknown. ETL, a seven transmembrane receptor containing EGF-like repeats is highly expressed in heart, where developmentally regulated, as well as in normal smooth cells. The function of the ETL is unknown. All adhesion GPCRs possess large N-terminal extracellular domains containing multiple structural motifs, which play critical roles in cell-cell adhesion and cell-matrix interactions, coupled to a seven-transmembrane domain. In addition, almost all adhesion receptors, except GPR123, contain an evolutionarily conserved GPCR-autoproteolysis inducing (GAIN) domain that undergoes autoproteolytic processing at the GPCR proteolysis site (GPS) motif located immediately N-terminal to the first transmembrane region, to generate N- and C-terminal fragments (NTF and CTF), which may serve important biological functions.

Cadherin EGF LAG seven-pass G-type receptor 1, member of the class B2 family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; The group IV adhesion GPCRs include the cadherin EGF LAG seven-pass G-type receptors (CELSRs) and their Drosophila homolog Flamingo (also known as Starry night). These receptors are also classified as that belongs to the EGF-TM7 group of subfamily B2 adhesion GPCRs, because they contain EGF-like domains. Functionally, the group IV receptors act as key regulators of many physiological processes such as endocrine cell differentiation, neuronal migration, dendrite growth, axon, guidance, lymphatic vessel and valve formation, and planar cell polarity (PCP) during embryonic development. Three mammalian orthologs of Flamingo, Celsr1-3, are widely expressed in the nervous system from embryonic development until the adult stage. Each Celsr exhibits different expression patterns in the developing brain, suggesting that they serve distinct functions. Mutations of CELSR1 cause neural tube defects in the nervous system, while mutations of CELSR2 are associated with coronary heart disease. Moreover, CELSR1 and several other PCP signaling molecules, such as dishevelled, prickle, frizzled, have been shown to be upregulated in B lymphocytes of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients. The adhesion receptors are characterized by the presence of large N-terminal extracellular domains containing multiple adhesion motifs, which play critical roles in cell-cell adhesion and cell-matrix interactions, that are coupled to a class B seven-transmembrane domain. In the case of CELSR/Flamingo/Starry night, their extracellular domains comprise nine cadherin repeats linked to a series of epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like and laminin globular (G)-like domains. The cadherin repeats contain sequence motifs that mediate calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion by homophilic interactions. Moreover, almost all adhesion receptors, except GPR123, contain an evolutionarily conserved GPCR- autoproteolysis inducing (GAIN) domain that undergoes autoproteolytic processing at the GPCR proteolysis site (GPS) motif located immediately N-terminal to the first transmembrane region, to generate N- and C-terminal fragments (NTF and CTF), which may serve important biological functions.

Latrophilin-2, member of the class B2 family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; Latrophilins (also called lectomedins or latrotoxin receptors) belong to Group I adhesion GPCRs, which also include ETL (EGF-TM7-latrophilin-related protein). These receptors are a member of the adhesion family (subclass B2) that belongs to the class B GPCRs. Three subtypes of latrophilins have been identified: LPH1 (latrophilin-1), LPH2, and LPH3. The latrophilin-1 is a brain-specific calcium-independent receptor of alpha-latrotoxin, a potent presynaptic neurotoxin from the venom of the black widow spider that induces massive neurotransmitter release from sensory and motor neurons as well as endocrine cells, leading to nerve-terminal degeneration. Latrophilin-2 and -3, although sharing strong sequence homology to latrophilin-1, do not bind alpha-latrotoxin. While latrophilin-3 is also brain specific, latrophilin-2 is ubiquitously distributed. The endogenous ligands for these two receptors are unknown. ETL, a seven transmembrane receptor containing EGF-like repeats is highly expressed in heart, where developmentally regulated, as well as in normal smooth cells. The function of the ETL is unknown. All adhesion GPCRs possess large N-terminal extracellular domains containing multiple structural motifs, which play critical roles in cell-cell adhesion and cell-matrix interactions, coupled to a seven-transmembrane domain.

corticotropin-releasing factor receptors, member of the class B family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; The vertebrate corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) receptors are predominantly expressed in central nervous system with high levels in cortex tissue, brain stem, and pituitary. They have two isoforms as a result of alternative splicing of the same receptor gene: CRF-R1 and CRF-R2, which differ in tissue distribution and ligand binding affinities. Recently, a third CRF receptor (CRF-R3) has been identified in catfish pituitary. The catfish CRF-R1 is highly homologous to CRF-R3. CRF is a 41-amino acid neuropeptide that plays a central role in coordinating neuroendocrine, behavioral, and autonomic responses to stress by acting as the primary neuroregulator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which controls the levels of cortisol and other stress related hormones. In addition, the CRF family of neuropeptides also includes structurally related peptides such as mammalian urocortin, fish urotensin I, and frog sauvagine. The actions of CRF and CRF-related peptides are mediated through specific binding to CRF-R1 and CRF-R2. CRF and urocortin 1 bind and activate mammalian CRF-R1 with similar high affinities. By contrast, urocortin 2 and urocortin 3 do not bind to CRF-R1 or stimulate CRF-R1-mediated cAMP formation. Urocortin 1 also shows high affinity for mammalian CRF-R2, whereas CRF has significantly lower affinity for this receptor. These evidence suggest that urocortin 1 is an endogenous ligand for CRF-R1 and CRF-R2. The CRF receptors are members of the B1 subfamily of class B GPCRs, also referred to as secretin-like receptor family, which includes receptors for polypeptide hormones of 27-141 amino-acid residues such as secretin, glucagon, glucagon-like peptide (GLP), calcitonin gene-related peptide, and parathyroid hormone (PTH). These receptors contain the large N-terminal extracellular domain (ECD), which plays a critical role in hormone recognition by binding to the C-terminal portion of the peptide. On the other hand, the N-terminal segment of the hormone induces receptor activation by interacting with the receptor transmembrane domains and connecting extracellular loops, triggering intracellular signaling pathways. All members of the B1 subfamily preferentially couple to G proteins of G(s) family, which positively stimulate adenylate cyclase, leading to increased intracellular cAMP formation and calcium influx. However, depending on its cellular location and function, CRF receptors can activate multiple G proteins, which can in turn stimulate different second messenger pathways.

EGF-like module receptors, group II adhesion GPCRs, member of class B2 family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; group II adhesion GPCRs, including the leukocyte cell-surface antigen CD97 and the epidermal growth factor (EGF)-module-containing, mucin-like hormone receptor (EMR1-4), are primarily expressed in cells of the immune system. All EGF-TM7 receptors, which belong to the B2 subfamily B2 of adhesion GPCRs, are members of group II, except for ETL (EGF-TM7-latrophilin related protein), which is classified into group I. Members of the EGF-TM7 receptors are characterized by the presence of varying numbers of N-terminal EGF-like domains, which play critical roles in ligand recognition and cell adhesion, linked by a stalk region to a class B seven-transmembrane domain. In the case of CD97, alternative splicing results in three isoforms possessing either three (EGF1,2,5), four (EGF1,2,3,5) or five (EGF1,2,3,4,5) EGF-like domains. On the other hand, EMR2 generates four isoforms possessing either two (EGF1,2), three (EGF1,2,5), four (EGF1,2,3,5) or five (EGF1,2,3,4,5) EGF-like domains. Moreover, almost all adhesion receptors, except GPR123, contain an evolutionarily conserved GPCR- autoproteolysis inducing (GAIN) domain that undergoes autoproteolytic processing at the GPCR proteolysis site (GPS) motif located immediately N-terminal to the first transmembrane region, to generate N- and C-terminal fragments (NTF and CTF), which may serve important biological functions. For example, CD97, which is involved in angiogenesis and the migration and invasion of tumor cells, has been shown to promote cell aggregation in a GPS proteolysis-dependent manner. CD97 is widely expressed on lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, granulocytes and smooth muscle cells as well as in a variety of human tumors including colorectal, gastric, esophageal pancreatic, and thyroid carcinoma. EMR2 shares strong sequence homology with CD97, differing by only six amino acids. However, unlike CD97, EMR2 is not found in those of CD97-positive tumor cells and is not expressed on lymphocytes but instead on monocytes, macrophages and granulocytes. CD97 has three known ligands: CD55, decay-accelerating factor for regulation of complement system; chondroitin sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan found in the extracellular matrix; and the integrin alpha5beta1, which play a role in angiogenesis. Although EMR2 does not effectively interact with CD55, the fourth EGF-like domain of this receptor binds to chondroitin sulfate to mediate cell attachment.

insect diuretic hormone receptors, member of the class B family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; This group includes G protein-coupled receptors that specifically bind to insect diuretic hormones found in Manduca sexta (moth) and Acheta domesticus (the house cricket), among others. Insect diuretic hormone and their GPCRs play critical roles in the regulation of water and ion balance. Thus they are attractive targets for developing new insecticides. Activation of the diuretic hormone receptors stimulate adenylate cyclase, thereby increasing cAMP levels in Malpighian tube. They belong to the B1 subfamily of class B GPCRs, also referred to as secretin-like receptor family, which includes receptors for polypeptide hormones of 27-141 amino-acid residues such as secretin, glucagon, glucagon-like peptide (GLP), calcitonin gene-related peptide, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and corticotropin-releasing factor.

orphan GPR116 and related proteins, group IV adhesion GPCRs, member of the class B2 family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; group VI adhesion GPCRs consist of orphan receptors GPR110, GPR111, GPR113, GPR115, GPR116, and closely related proteins. The adhesion receptors are characterized by the presence of large N-terminal extracellular domains containing multiple adhesion motifs, which play critical roles in ligand recognition as well as cell-cell adhesion and cell-matrix interactions, linked by a stalk region to a class B seven-transmembrane domain. GPR110 possesses a SEA box in the N-terminal has been identified as an oncogene over-expressed in lung and prostate cancer. GPR113 contains a hormone binding domain and one EGF (epidermal grown factor) domain. GPR112 has extremely long N-terminus (about 2,400 amino acids) containing a number of Ser/Thr-rich glycosylation sites and a pentraxin (PTX) domain. GPR116 has two C2-set immunoglobulin-like repeats, which is found in the members of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface proteins, and a SEA (sea urchin sperm protein, enterokinase, and a grin)-box, which is present in the extracellular domain of the transmembrane mucin (MUC) family and known to enhance O-glycosylation. In addition, almost all adhesion receptors, except GPR123, contain an evolutionarily conserved GPCR-autoproteolysis inducing (GAIN) domain that undergoes autoproteolytic processing at the GPCR proteolysis site (GPS) motif located immediately N-terminal to the first transmembrane region, to generate N- and C-terminal fragments (NTF and CTF), which may serve important biological functions. However, several adhesion GPCRs, including GPR 111, GPR115, and CELSR1, are predicted to be non-cleavable at the GAIN domain because of the lack of a consensus catalytic triad sequence (His-Leu-Ser/Thr) within their GPS.

The PTH family receptors are members of the B1 subfamily of class B GPCRs, which includes receptors for polypeptide hormones of 27-141 amino-acid residues such as secretin, glucagon, glucagon-like peptide (GLP), and calcitonin gene-related peptide. These receptors contain the large N-terminal extracellular domain (ECD), which plays a critical role in hormone recognition by binding to the C-terminal portion of the peptide. On the other hand, the N-terminal segment of the hormone induces receptor activation by interacting with the receptor transmembrane domains and connecting extracellular loops, triggering intracellular signaling pathways. The parathyroid hormone type 1 receptor (PTH1R) is found in all vertebrate species and is activated by two polypeptide ligands: parathyroid hormone (PTH), an endocrine hormone that regulates calcium homoeostasis and bone maintenance, and PTH-related peptide (PTHrP), a paracrine factor that regulates endochondral bone development. PTH1R couples predominantly to G(s)- protein that in turn activates adenylyl cyclase thereby producing cAMP, but it can also couple to several G protein subtypes, including G(q/11), G(i/o), and G(12/13), resulting in activation of multiple signaling pathways.
