Cholesterol and cholecystokinin receptors
A previous PLOS Biology study used the cryo-EM structure of the cholecystokinin type 1 receptor (CCK1R) to reveal insights into G protein selectivity. This Update Article by Kaleeckal Harikumar, Peishen Zhao, Brian Cary, Denise Wootten, Patrick Sexton, Laurence Miller and co-workers provides a structural and biophysical characterization of the effects of cholesterol on ligand binding and G protein coupling at the receptor.
