Supplementary Table 4. Ligand binding pocket volume estimates for different GPCRs. Several different measurements are given with the pockets delimited by the extracellular membrane border (as predicted by OMP server (opm.phar.umich.edu) for PDB 3EML)4,5, and extracellular membrane border shifted up by 1 or 2 Å. For GCGR measurements, missing side chains in the crystal structures were modeled and optimized. Volume measurements are in units of Å3.

*Though the NTSR1 pocket accommodates a large peptide ligand, the pocket is located closer to the extracellular loop region than in other solved GPCR structures and, therefore, the volume calculations appear low relative to the other receptors where the distance is measured below the surface of the membrane6.

a Previous mutation studies to investigate peptide ligand binding have been reported for several class B GPCRs including GCGR7-13, GLP1R2,14-17, GIPR18,19, rSCTR20-24, and VPAC1 (refs 25-27), shown in Supplementary Table 6. b Mutants are colored coded according to Fig. 4. Mutants with <30% wild-type expression are colored grey. c Superscripts refer to the Wootten residue numbering2 in which the single most conserved residue among class B GPCRs is designated X.50, where X is the transmembrane helix number. All other residues on that helix are numbered relative to this conserved position. See Supplementary Table 3 for comparison

Comparison of the 7TM bundle of GCGR with class A GPCRs. a and b, Extracellular (EC) and intracellular (IC) views of the superimposed 7TM bundles of GCGR (blue) and class A GPCRs (grey; same PDBs as Fig. 1b). Distribution of distances between the tips of pairs of helices in a and b (black dashed lines) are plotted in the bar graphs (red and grey bars indicate distances for GCGR and class A GPCRs, respectively). The distance between the EC tips of GCGR helices II and VI is the largest among GPCR structures, and the distance between the EC tips of helices III and VII is among the largest, except for kappa (k-OR) and mu (m-OR) opioid receptors. At the intracellular (IC) side, the distances between the helical tips of GCGR are within the same range as those in available class A structures, except for an extensive inward shift of the IC tip of helix VII.

Corresponding residues of GCGR are shown and the blue number in superscript denotes their class B numbering according to Wootten et al, 2013 (ref. 2) b, Sequence alignment derived from the structural superimposition. Transmembrane helices in both structures are shown below the sequences, where red bars correspond to canonical -helices and blue bars to -helices. Both class B3 (X.50 in blue) and class A2 numbering (BW X.50 in black) positions in each helix are marked by arrows with the corresponding Ballesteros-Weinstein and Wootten number. Note that in helix IV, the Trp residue is most conserved in both GPCR classes, and therefore 4.50 positions coincide.

Supplementary Figure 7. Location of the Ta6Br12 cluster used in the SAD phasing of BRIL-GCGR(ECD/C) fusion construct at 6 Å. BRIL-GCGR(ECD/C) is shown as ribbon with GCGR as light blue and BRIL as green. At 6 Å, the cluster is resolved as a single electron density blob, therefore the whole cluster was centered in the resolved density, and the orientations of its individual atoms are unknown. The cluster is located in a solvent cavity between BRIL and helix VIII of GCGR, and all the atoms in the cluster can be accommodated without clashes to BRIL-GCGR(ECD/C).
