چکیده

5-HT(2A) serotonin receptors are unusual among G-protein coupled receptors in that they can be internalized and desensitized, in some cell types, in an arrestin-independent manner. The molecular basis of the arrestin-insensitivity of 5-HT(2A) receptors is unknown but is probably caused, in part, by the apparent lack of agonist-induced 5-HT(2A) receptor phosphorylation. Because the arrestin-insensitivity of 5-HT(2A) receptors is cell-type selective, we used a "constitutively active" arrestin mutant that can interact with agonist-activated but nonphosphorylated receptors. We show here that this "constitutively active" arrestin mutant (Arr2-R169E) can force 5-HT(2A) receptors to be regulated by arrestins. Cotransfection of 5-HT(2A) receptors with Arr2-R169E induced agonist-independent 5-HT(2A) receptor internalization, and a constitutive translocation of the Arr2-R169E mutant to the plasma membrane, whereas wild-type Arrestin-2 had no effect. Additionally, Arr2-R169E, unlike wild-type arrestin-2, induced a significant decrease in efficacy of agonist-induced phosphoinositide hydrolysis with an unexpected increase in agonist potency. Radioligand binding assays demonstrated that the fraction of receptors in the high-affinity agonist binding-state increased with expression of Arr2-R169E, indicating that Arr2-R169E stabilizes the agonist-high affinity state of the 5-HT(2A) receptor (R*). Intriguingly, the agonist-independent interaction of Arr2-R169E with 5-HT(2A) receptors was inhibited by inverse agonist treatment and is thus probably caused by the high level of 5-HT(2A) receptor constitutive activity. This is the first demonstration that a constitutively active arrestin mutant can both induce agonist-independent internalization and stabilize the agonist-high affinity state of an arrestin-insensitive G protein coupled receptor.

The dynamin-dependent, arrestin-independent internalization of 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A (5-HT2A) serotonin receptors reveals differential sorting of arrestins and 5-HT2A receptors during endocytosis.

5-Hydroxytryptamine 2A (5-HT2A) receptors, a major site of action of clozapine and other atypical antipsychotic medications, are, paradoxically, internalized in vitro and in vivo by antagonists and agonists. The mechanisms responsible for this paradoxical regulation of 5-HT2A receptors are unknown. In this study, the arrestin and dynamin dependences of agonist- and antagonist-mediated internali...

Modulation of the arrestin-clathrin interaction in cells. Characterization of beta-arrestin dominant-negative mutants.

We recently demonstrated that nonvisual arrestins interact via a C-terminal binding domain with clathrin and function as adaptor proteins to promote beta2-adrenergic receptor (beta2AR) internalization. Here, we investigated the potential utility of a mini-gene expressing the clathrin-binding domain of beta-arrestin (beta-arrestin (319-418)) to function as a dominant-negative with respect to bet...

Histamine H2 receptor trafficking: role of arrestin, dynamin, and clathrin in histamine H2 receptor internalization.

Agonist-induced internalization of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) has been implicated in receptor desensitization, resensitization, and down-regulation. In the present study, we sought to establish whether the histamine H2 receptor (H2r) agonist amthamine, besides promoting receptor desensitization, induced H2r internalization. We further studied the mechanisms involved and its potential r...

Arrestin-independent internalization of the m1, m3, and m4 subtypes of muscarinic cholinergic receptors.

To understand what processes contribute to the agonist-induced internalization of subtypes of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, we analyzed the role of arrestins. Whereas the m2 mAChR has been shown to undergo augmented internalization when arrestins 2 and 3 are overexpressed (Pals-Rylaarsdam, R., Gurevich, V. V., Lee, K. B., Ptasienski, J. A., Benovic, J.
