1D-adrenergic receptor prevents cell surface expression
We previously reported that truncation of the N-terminal 79 amino acids of
1D-adrenoceptors (
1-79
1D-ARs) greatly increases binding site density. In this study, we determined if this effect was associated with changes in
1D-AR subcellular localization. Confocal imaging of GFP-tagged receptors and sucrose density gradient fractionation suggested that full-length
1D-ARs were found primarily in intracellular compartments, while
1-79
1D-ARs were translocated to the plasma membrane. This resulted in a 3-4 fold increase in intrinsic activity for stimulation of inositol phosphate formation by norepinephrine. We determined whether this effect was transplantable by creating N-terminal chimeras of
1-ARs containing the body of one subtype and the N-terminus of another (
1ANT-D;
1BNT-D;
1DNT-A; and
1DNT-B). When expressed in HEK293 cells, radioligand binding revealed that binding densities of
1A- or
1B-ARs containing the
1D-N-terminus decreased by 86-93%, whereas substitution of
1A- or
1B-N-termini increased
1D-AR binding site density by 2-3-fold. Confocal microscopy showed that GFP-tagged
1DNT-B-ARs were found only on the cell surface while GFP-tagged
1BNT-D-ARs were completely intracellular. Radioligand binding and confocal imaging of GFP-tagged
1D- and
1-79
1D-ARs expressed in rat aortic smooth muscle cells produced similar results, suggesting these effects are generalizable to cell types that endogenously express
1D-ARs. These findings demonstrate that the N-terminal region of
1D-ARs contain a transplantable signal that is critical for regulating formation of functional bindings, through regulating cellular localization.
