G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) transmit downstream signals predominantly via G-protein pathways. However, the conformational basis of selective coupling of primary G-protein remains elusive. Histamine receptors H2 R and H3 R couple with Gs - or Gi -proteins respectively. Here, three cryo-EM structures of H2 R-Gs and H3 R-Gi complexes are presented at a global resolution of 2.6-2.7 Å. These structures reveal the unique binding pose for endogenous histamine in H3 R, wherein the amino group interacts with E2065...
