ABSTRACT
The structural and dynamic information of A 2A R-D 2 R could provide a more complete understanding of the molecular and energetic basis of GPCR oligomerization, thus facilitating the design of novel GPCR oligomer-specific drugs. The biochemical and functional study suggested the A 2A R-D 2 R interactions may provide new therapeutic target for Parkinson’s disease. In the present work, the analysis of structure-based features (e.g., Alpha, Beta, SurfAlpha, and SurfBeta; GapIndex, Leakiness and Gap Volume) with implementation of slow mode analysis (ENM) facilitated the prediction of kinetics (K off , K on , and K d ) of A 2A R-D 2 R protein-protein interaction. Kinetic constant of A 2A R-D 2 R has been predicted to address the association-dissociation of A 2A R-D 2 R complex using slow mode elastic network model showed correlation coefficient of K d and K on was 0.294 and the correlation coefficient of K d and K off was 0.635 describe stable interfacial contact of dimmer. The results demonstrated the stable hetromerization (association; Kslow) between the A2AR and D 2 R, and presumed that interfaces contacts depended on the coulombic interaction between the D 2 R intracellular loops (ICLs) and C-terminal tails of the A2AR. Structural dynamic properties study, ENM and KFC server based hot-spot analysis illustrated the stoichiometry of (A 2A R-D 2 R) contact interfaces as dimmer. The propensity of surface amino acid involved in interaction illustrated the presence of positively (Arg, R; His, H; and Lys,K) and negatively (Glu, E) and Asp, D) charged structural motif of TMs and ICL3 of A 2A R and D 2 R with significant columbic forces at interface of dimmer contact crystal structure.
