Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are essential mediators of cellular signaling and important targets of drug action. Of the approximately 350 non-olfactory human GPCRs, more than 100 are still considered “orphans” as their endogenous ligand(s) remain unknown. Here, we describe a unique open-source resource that provides the capacity to interrogate the druggable human GPCR-ome via a G protein-independent β-arrestin recruitment assay. We validate this unique platform at more than 120 non-orphan human GPCR targets, demonstrate its utility for discovering new ligands for orphan human GPCRs, and describe a method (PRESTO-TANGO; Parallel Receptor-ome Expression and Screening via Transcriptional Output - TANGO) for the simultaneous and parallel interrogation of the entire human GPCR-ome.
