G protein-coupled receptors (R) exist as homo- or hetero-oligomers, which is essential for receptor function. Since BK actions were blocked by a Mas R antagonist or that Ang-(1-7) responses disappeared when the BK receptor B2 was blocked, we hypothesized that Mas and B2 Rs on the plasma membrane may interact through hetero-oligomer formation. Our aim was to investigate the existence of heteromerization between Mas and B2 Rs by the fluorescence energy transfer (FRET) technique and the functional consequences of this oligomer formation. HEK293T cells were transfected with the coding sequence for Mas R fused to YFP and B2 R fused to CFP. After 48 h cells were incubated in the absence and presence of 1 μM Ang-(1-7) or BK during 15 min and interaction between Mas and B2 R was evaluated by FRET. Functional consequences of this interaction were determined by ligand binding assays. A positive FRET was observed in cells cotransfected with MasR-YFP and B2R-CFP, suggesting that both Mas and B2 Rs interact by a hetero-oligomer formation in a constitutive manner. This hetero-oligomer was not altered by the agonist because FRET was not modified when the cells were stimulated with BK or Ang-(1-7). Ang-(1-7) or BK induced internalization of this hetero-oligomer into early endosomes since MasR-YFP or B2R-CFP colocalized with Rab-5, an early endosome marker, after ligand stimulation. When MasR-YFP plus B2R-CFP transfected cells were stimulated with Ang-(1-7) there was a decrease of 82±6% in Mas R and 58±4% in B2 R present in the plasma membrane. Conversely, when MasR-YFP plus B2R-CFP transfected cells were stimulated with BK there was a decrease of 91±4% in B2 R and 53±3% in Mas R in the plasma membrane. This result clearly demonstrates that in co-expressing cells of both receptors the selective stimulation of one of the GPCRs promotes co-internalization of both receptors. We conclude that Mas and B2 Rs constitutively interact through an hetero-oligomer formation at the plasma membrane which may explain the cross-talk between Ang-(1-7) and BK. This hetero-oligomer is internalized upon stimulation with either Ang-(1-7) or BK, leading to a decrease in the number of Rs present in the membrane.

Observations in reconstituted systems and transfected cells indicate that G-protein receptor kinases (GRKs) and β-arrestins mediate desensitization and endocytosis of G-protein–coupled receptors. Little is known about receptor regulation in neurons. Therefore, we examined the effects of the neurotransmitter substance P (SP) on desensitization of the neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1-R) and on the subcellular distribution of NK1-R, Gαq/11, GRK-2 and -3, and β-arrestin-1 and -2 in cultured myenteric neurons. NK1-R was coexpressed with immunoreactive Gαq/11, GRK-2 and -3, and β-arrestin-1 and -2 in a subpopulation of neurons. SP caused 1) rapid NK1-R–mediated increase in [Ca2+]i, which was transient and desensitized to repeated stimulation; 2) internalization of the NK1-R into early endosomes containing SP; and 3) rapid and transient redistribution of β-arrestin-1 and -2 from the cytosol to the plasma membrane, followed by a striking redistribution of β-arrestin-1 and -2 to endosomes containing the NK1-R and SP. In SP-treated neurons Gαq/11 remained at the plasma membrane, and GRK-2 and -3 remained in centrally located and superficial vesicles. Thus, SP induces desensitization and endocytosis of the NK1-R in neurons that may be mediated by GRK-2 and -3 and β-arrestin-1 and -2. This regulation will determine whether NK1-R–expressing neurons participate in functionally important reflexes.

Membranes lipids, and especially phosphoinositides, are differentially enriched within the eukaryotic endomembrane system. This generates a landmark code by modulating the properties of each membrane. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] specifically accumulates at the plasma membrane in yeast, animal and plant cells, where it regulates a wide range of cellular processes including endocytosis. However, the functional consequences of mispatterning PI(4,5)P2 in plants are unknown. Here, we functionally characterized the phosphoinositide phosphatase SUPPRESSOR OF ACTIN9 (SAC9) in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis). We found that SAC9 depletion led to the ectopic localization of PI(4,5)P2 on cortical intracellular compartments, which depends on PI4P and PI(4,5)P2 production at the plasma membrane. SAC9 localizes to a subpopulation of trans-Golgi Network/early endosomes that are spatially restricted to a region close to the cell cortex and that are coated with clathrin. Furthermore, it interacts and colocalizes with the endocytic component Src Homology 3 Domain Protein 2 (SH3P2). In the absence of SAC9, SH3P2 localization is altered and the clathrin mediated endocytosis rate is significantly reduced. Thus, SAC9 is required to maintain efficient endocytic uptake, highlighting the importance of restricting the PI(4,5)P2 pool at the plasma membrane for the proper regulation of endocytosis in plants.

Animal cell viruses provide valuable model systems for studying many normal cellular processes, including membrane protein sorting. The focus of this study is an integral membrane protein encoded by the E3 transcription region of human adenoviruses called E3-13.7, which diverts recycling EGF receptors to lysosomes without increasing the rate of receptor internalization or intrinsic receptor tyrosine kinase activity. Although E3-13.7 can be found on the plasma membrane when it is overexpressed, its effect on EGF receptor trafficking suggests that the plasma membrane is not its primary site of action. Using cell fractionation and immunocytochemical experimental approaches, we now report that the viral protein is located predominantly in early endosomes and limiting membranes of endosome-to-lysosome transport intermediates called multivesicular endosomes. We also demonstrate that E3-13.7 physically associates with EGF receptors undergoing E3-13.7–mediated down-regulation in early endosomes. Receptor–viral protein complexes then dissociate, and EGF receptors proceed to lysosomes, where they are degraded, while E3-13.7 is retained in endosomes. We conclude that E3-13.7 is a resident early endocytic protein independent of EGF receptor expression, because it has identical intracellular localization in mouse cells lacking endogenous receptors and cells expressing a human cytomegalovirus-driven receptor cDNA. Finally, we demonstrate that EGF receptor residues 675–697 are required for E3-13.7–mediated down-regulation. Interestingly, this sequence includes a known EGF receptor leucine-based lysosomal sorting signal used during ligand-induced trafficking, which is also conserved in the viral protein. E3-13.7, therefore, provides a novel model system for determining the molecular basis of selective membrane protein transport in the endocytic pathway. Our studies also suggest new paradigms for understanding EGF receptor sorting in endosomes and adenovirus pathogenesis.

The functional consequences of the differences in lipid composition and structure between the two leaflets of the plasma membrane were investigated. Fluorescence of 1,6-diphenylhexa-1,3,5-triene(DPH), quenching, and differential polarized phase fluorimetry demonstrated selective fluidization by local anaesthetics of individual leaflets in isolated LM-cell plasma membranes. As measured by decreased limiting anisotropy of DPH fluorescence, cationic (prilocaine) and anionic (phenobarbital and pentobarbital) amphipaths preferentially fluidized the cytofacial and exofacial leaflets respectively. Unlike prilocaine, procaine, also a cation, fluidized both leaflets of these membranes equally. Pentobarbital stimulated 5′-nucleotidase between 0.1 and 5 mM and inhibited at higher concentrations, whereas phenobarbital only inhibited, at higher concentrations. Cationic drugs were ineffective. Two maxima of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activation were obtained with both anionic drugs. Only one activation maximum was obtained with both cationic drugs. The maximum in activity below 1 mM for all four drugs clustered about a single limiting anisotropy value in the cytofacial leaflet, whereas there was no correlation between activity and limiting anisotropy in the exofacial leaflets. Therefore, although phenobarbital and pentobarbital below 1 mM fluidized the exofacial leaflet more than the cytofacial leaflet, the smaller fluidization in the cytofacial leaflet was functionally significant for (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. Mg2+-ATPase was stimulated at 1 mM-phenobarbital, unaffected by pentobarbital and slightly stimulated by both cationic drugs at concentrations fluidizing both leaflets. Thus the activity of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase was highly sensitive to selective fluidization of the leaflet containing its active site, whereas the other enzymes examined were little affected by fluidization of either leaflet.

Stimulation Of

Stimulation of cells with epidermal growth factor (EGF) induces internalization and partial degradation of the EGF receptor (EGFR) by the endo-lysosomal pathway. For continuous cell functioning, EGFR plasma membrane levels are maintained by transporting newly synthesized EGFRs to the cell surface. The regulation of this process is largely unknown. In this study, we find that EGF stimulation specifically increases the transport efficiency of newly synthesized EGFRs from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane. This coincides with an up-regulation of the inner coat protein complex II (COPII) components SEC23B, SEC24B, and SEC24D, which we show to be specifically required for EGFR transport. Up-regulation of these COPII components requires the transcriptional regulator RNF11, which localizes to early endosomes and appears additionally in the cell nucleus upon continuous EGF stimulation. Collectively, our work identifies a new regulatory mechanism that integrates the degradation and transport of EGFR in order to maintain its physiological levels at the plasma membrane.
