<title>Abstract</title> Proton sensing by membrane G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is crucial in controlling the breathing rate, bone formation, and cardiovascular kidney functions. However, structural basis mechanistic insights of proton sensing-induced GPCR activation remains unclear. Here, we report seven cryo-EM structures GPR4 GPR68, two well-known proton-sensing receptors, at different pH values complex with Gs or Gq trimers. Structural inspection, structure-based pKa calculations,...
