The influence of peptide context on signalling and trafficking of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor biased agonists
2020
Signal bias and membrane trafficking have recently emerged as important considerations in the therapeutic targeting of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) in type 2 diabetes and obesity. In the present study, we have evaluated a peptide series with varying sequence homology between native GLP-1 and exendin-4, the archetypal ligands on which approved GLP-1R agonists are based. We find notable differences in agonist-mediated signalling, endocytosis and recycling, dependent both on the introduction of a His → Phe switch at position 1 and modification to the mid-peptide helical regions and C-terminus. These observations were linked to insulin secretion in a beta cell model and provide insights into how ligand factors influence GLP-1R function at the cellular level.
