The P2X7 receptor is a trimeric ligand-gated ion channel activated by ATP. It is implicated in the cellular response to trauma/disease and considered to have significant therapeutic potential. Using chimeras and point mutants we have mapped the binding site of the P2X7R-selective antagonist AZ11645373 to the known allosteric binding pocket at the interface between two subunits, in proximity to, but separated from the ATP binding site. Our structural model of AZ11645373 binding is consistent with effects of mutations on antagonist sensitivity, and the proposed binding mode explains variation in antagonist sensitivity between the human and rat P2X7 receptors. We have also determined the site of action for the P2X7R-selective antagonists ZINC58368839, brilliant blue G, KN-62, and calmidazolium. The effect of intersubunit allosteric pocket signature mutants F88A, T90V, D92A, F103A, and V312A on antagonist sensitivity suggests that ZINC58368839 comprises a binding mode similar to AZ11645373 and other previously characterized antagonists. For the larger antagonists, brilliant blue G, KN-62, and calmidazolium, our data imply an overlapping but distinct binding mode involving the central upper vestibule of the receptor in addition to the intersubunit allosteric pocket. Our work explains the site of action for a series of P2X7R antagonists and establishes signature mutants for P2X7R binding-mode characterization.
