Abstract

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