ABSTRACT
Adhesion-type G protein-coupled receptors (aGPCRs) have long resisted approaches to resolve the structural details of their heptahelical transmembrane (7TM) domains. Single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has recently produced aGPCR 7TM domain structures for ADGRD1, ADGRG1, ADGRG2, ADGRG3, ADGRG4, ADGRG5, ADGRF1, and ADGRL3. We review the unique properties, including the position and conformation of their activating tethered agonist (TA) and signaling motifs within the 7TM bundle, that the novel structures have helped to identify. We also discuss questions that the kaleidoscope of novel aGPCR 7TM domain structures have left unanswered. These concern the relative positions, orientations, and interactions of the 7TM and GPCR autoproteolysis-inducing (GAIN) domains with one another. Clarifying their interplay remains an important goal of future structural studies on aGPCRs.
