Resumo
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a family of heptahelical transmembrane proteins consisting of more than 800 representatives in the human genome that regulate most processes in the human body and are targets for up to a third of all modern drugs. Many GPCRs, despite their importance for pharmacology, are still considered orphan, i.e., their endogenous ligand is unknown. Orphan receptor GPR17, belonging to class A GPCR, is expressed mainly in the central nervous system, plays an important role in the formation of the myelin sheath of neurons and is a potential target for the development of new drugs against multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and ischemia. The aim of this work was to prepare GPR17 for structure-functional studies, starting with the heterologous expression and ending with obtaining a stable protein sample. Screening of various genetically engineered constructs was performed, a number of point mutations were analyzed, and a significant number of potential ligands of this receptor were tested. As a result of the work, the conditions for expression, isolation, and purification of GPR17 were optimized, which together made it possible to obtain a fairly stable and monomeric protein preparation suitable for further structural studies.
