The involvement of FPR2 in Alzheimer's disease has been revealed. Structures of FPR2 bound to Aβ(42), humanin, or formyl peptides provide insights into Aβ(42) neurotoxicity, humanin neuroprotection, and FPR ligand selectivity.
Formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) has been shown to mediate the cytotoxic effects of the beta amyloid peptide A beta(42) and serves as a receptor for humanin, a peptide that protects neuronal cells from damage by A beta(42), implying its involvement in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the interaction pattern between FPR2 and A beta(42) or humanin remains unknown. Here we report the structures of FPR2 bound to G(i) and A beta(42) or N-formyl humanin (fHN). Combined with functional data, the structures reveal two critical regions that govern recognition and activity of A beta(42) and fHN, including a polar binding cavity within the receptor helical bundle and a hydrophobic binding groove in the extracellular region. In addition, the structures of FPR2 and FPR1 in complex with different formyl peptides were determined, providing insights into ligand recognition and selectivity of the FPR family. These findings uncover key factors that define the functionality of FPR2 in AD and other inflammatory diseases and would enable drug development. The formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) is involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Structures of FPR2 bound to A beta(42), humanin, or formyl peptides offer insight into A beta(42) neurotoxicity, humanin neuroprotection, and FPR ligand selectivity
