Abstract

Secretin and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) receptors are closely related G protein-coupled receptors in a recently described family possessing a large amino-terminal ectodomain. We postulated that this domain might be critical for agonist recognition and therefore constructed a series of six chimeric receptors, exchanging the amino terminus, the first extracellular loop, or both in secretin and VIP receptors. Constructs were expressed in COS cells and characterized by cAMP generation and binding of both secretin and VIP radio-ligands. Wild type receptors demonstrated high affinity binding of respective ligands (IC50 values (in nM): at the secretin receptor: 2.2 for secretin, > 1000 for VIP; at the VIP receptor: 2.2 for VIP, > 1000 for secretin) and appropriately sensitive and selective biological responses (EC50 values (in nM): at the secretin receptor: 1.5 for secretin, 127 for VIP; at the VIP receptor: 1.0 for VIP, 273 for secretin). Replacement of the secretin receptor amino terminus with that of the VIP receptor resulted in biological responsiveness typical of the VIP receptor (EC50 = 120 nM for secretin, 1.7 nM for VIP). The converse was not true, with this domain of the secretin receptor not able to provide the same response when incorporated into the VIP receptor (EC50 = 50 nM for VIP, 30 nM for secretin). The addition of both the first loop and the amino terminus of the secretin receptor was effective in yielding a secretin receptor-like response (EC50 = 2.0 nM for secretin, 47 nM for VIP). All chimeric constructs expressing selectivity for secretin-stimulated activity bound this hormone with high affinity (IC50 = 0.2-2.2 nM); however, there was divergence between VIP binding and biological activity. Thus, the amino terminus of secretin and VIP receptors plays a key role in agonist recognition and responsiveness, with the first loop playing a critical complementary role for the secretin receptor.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
