摘要: The peptide hormone H2 relaxin has demonstrated promise as a therapeutic, but mimetic development been hindered by the poorly understood receptor RXFP1 activation mechanism. is hypothesized to bind two distinct ECD sites, which reorientates N-terminal LDLa module activate transmembrane domain. Here we provide evidence for this model in live cells measuring bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) between nanoluciferase-tagged constructs and fluorescently labeled (NanoBRET). Additionally, validate these results using related RXFP2 chimeras with an inserted RXFP1-binding domain utilizing NanoBRET nuclear magnetic studies on recombinant proteins. We therefore multi-component molecular mechanism of binding full-length cells. Also, show utility real-time kinetics reveal subtle complexities, may be overlooked traditional equilibrium assays.
