Extended Data Fig. 4

a, Key interactions between the ethylamine group of the C48/80 and W2436.55, F170ECL2, C1684.64, C1805.34, W2486.60 of the MRGPRX2. The disulfide bond between the C168 and C180 was highlight in cyan. b, Key interactions between the amide of the ethylamine group of C48/80 and E164, D184 of MRGPRX2. Hydrogen bonds were showed in red dash. c, Important residues in MRGPRX2 that recognize the upper “Y” arm of C48/80. d, Elisa experiments to determine the expression levels of the MRGPRX2 wild type and corresponding mutants. Values are mean ± SEM from three independent experiments (n=3). n.s., no significance. All data were analysed by two-sided one-way ANOVA with Turkey test. e, Effects of mutations in the ligand-binding pocket residues of MRGPRX2 on C48/80–induced Gαi–Gγ dissociation in MRGPRX2 overexpressing HEK293 cells. Natural occurred SNPs were highlight in blue. ND, not detectable due to low signal. Values are the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments for the wild type (WT) and mutants (n=3). All data were determined by two-sided one-way ANOVA with Tukey test. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001, n.s., no significant difference. (P =0.0028, 0.0001, 0.0171,  < 0.0001, 0.0045, ND,  < 0.0001,  < 0.0001, ND, 0.0224, 0.0178,  < 0.0001, 0.0050,  < 0.0001, 0.0008, 0.0007 from top to bottom.) f, Effects of mutations of key residues of MRGPRX2 on C48/80–induced Gαq–Gγ dissociation in MRGPRX2 overexpressing HEK293 cells. Values are the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments for the wild type (WT) and mutants (n=3) except E164A and D254A which are the mean ± SEM of five independent experiments (n=5). All data were determined by two-sided one-way ANOVA with Tukey test. ***, P < 0.001. (P < 0.0001,  < 0.0001,  < 0.0001,  < 0.0001,  < 0.0001,  < 0.0001 from top to bottom).
