Abstract

Heterodimerization has been shown to modulate the ligand binding, signaling, and trafficking properties of G protein-coupled receptors. However, to what extent heterodimerization may alter agonist-induced phosphorylation and desensitization of these receptors has not been documented. We have recently shown that heterodimerization of sst(2A) and sst(3) somatostatin receptors results in inactivation of sst(3) receptor function (Pfeiffer, M., Koch, T., Schröder, H., Klutzny, M., Kirscht, S., Kreienkamp, H. J., Höllt, V., and Schulz, S. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 14027-14036). Here we examine dimerization of the sst(2A) somatostatin receptor and the mu-opioid receptor, members of closely related G protein-coupled receptor families. In coimmunoprecipitation studies using differentially epitope-tagged receptors, we provide direct evidence for heterodimerization of sst(2A) and MOR1 in human embryonic kidney 293 cells. Unlike heteromeric assembly of sst(2A) and sst(3), sst(2A)-MOR1 heterodimerization did not substantially alter the ligand binding or coupling properties of these receptors. However, exposure of the sst(2A)-MOR1 heterodimer to the sst(2A)-selective ligand L-779,976 induced phosphorylation, internalization, and desensitization of sst(2A) as well as MOR1. Similarly, exposure of the sst(2A)-MOR1 heterodimer to the mu-selective ligand [d-Ala(2),Me-Phe(4),Gly(5)-ol]enkephalin induced phosphorylation and desensitization of both MOR1 and sst(2A) but not internalization of sst(2A). Cross-phosphorylation and cross-desensitization of the sst(2A)-MOR1 heterodimer were selective; they were neither observed with the sst(2A)-sst(3) heterodimer nor with the endogenously expressed lysophosphatidic acid receptor. Heterodimerization may thus represent a novel regulatory mechanism that could either restrict or enhance phosphorylation and desensitization of G protein-coupled receptors.

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.
