| Research Abstract |
To delineate domains essential for G_q-protein coupling in the carboxyl-terminal tail of rat angiotensin II receptor type 1A (AT_<1A>), the receptor in the putative cytosolic regions was truncated by site-derected mutagenesis introducing stop codons in the cDNA and determined consequent changes in the effect of GTPgammaS on angiotensin II (Ang II) binding and in inositol trisphosphate (IP_3) production in response to Ang II.
To identify the domains responsible for the activation of G_q, we studied the effect of synthetic peptide (P-5) representing domains of carboxyl-terminal segment (residues 306-320) of AT_<1A> and its analog (substituting AAA for Y^<312>-F^<314>-L^<314> : Mut P-5) on the binding of the ^<35>S-labeled GTPgammaS to G_q. The effects of GTPgammaS on Ang II binding (shift of AT_<1A> from a high affinity state to a low affinity form) and IP_3 production in deletional mutant receptor 1-317 AT_<1A> were similar to wild type AT_<1A>, whereas those of mutants 1-309,1-311,1-312 and 1-313 AT_<1A> were markedly reduced. The binding of ^<35>S-labeled GTPgammaS to G_q was promoted by P-5, but not by Mut P-5. These results indicate that cytosolic carboxyl-terminal domains Tyr^<312>, Phe^<313> and Leu^<314> of rat AT_<1A> are essential for coupling and activation of G_q.
