Glycoprotein Hormone Receptor

The specificity of the vertebrate hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal and hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axes is explained by the evolutionary refinement of the specificity of expression and selectivity of interaction between the glycoprotein hormones GpH (FSH, LH, and TSH) and their cognate receptors GpH-R (FSH-R, LH-R, and TSH-R). These two finely tuned signaling pathways evolved by gene duplication and functional divergence from an ancestral GpH/GpH-R pair. Comparative analysis of the protochordate and gnathostome endocrine systems suggests that this process took place prior or concomitantly with the emergence of the gnathostome lineage. Here, we report identification and characterization of a novel glycoprotein hormone receptor (lGpH-R II) in the Agnathan sea lamprey. This 781 residue protein was found ∼43% identical with mammalian TSH-R and FSH-R representative sequences, and similarly with these two classes of mammalian receptors it is assembled from ten exons. A synthetic ligand containing the lamprey glycoprotein hormone β-chain tethered upstream of a mammalian α-chain activated the lGpH-R II expressed in COS-7 cells but in a lesser extent than lGpH-R I. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of vertebrate GpH-R protein sequences suggests a closer relationship between lGpH-R II and gnathostome thyrotropin receptors. Overall, the presence and characteristics of the lamprey glycoprotein hormone receptors suggest existence of a primitive functionally overlapping glycoprotein hormone/glycoprotein hormone receptor system in this animal.

Glycoprotein Hormone Receptor

1-Methyladenine (1-MeAde) in starfish was the first compound to be identified as an oocyte maturation-inducing substance (MIS) among invertebrates in 1969 by Kanatani and co-workers. In starfish, the ripe ovary contains a huge number of fully grown oocytes of almost equal size. Each oocyte possesses a large nucleus (germinal vesicle, GV), which is arrested in late prophase of the first maturation division. The oocyte is surrounded by a single follicle layer. Such immature oocytes are not fertilisable. Resumption of meiosis in immature oocytes can be induced by 1-MeAde, and the mature oocytes thus become fertilisable (Kanatani et al., 1969; Kanatani, 1985). 1-MeAde is produced by ovarian follicle cells upon stimulation with a gonad-stimulating substance (GSS) released from the radial nerves (Fig. 1).It has been demonstrated that GSS is a peptide hormone (Kanatani et al., 1971). The action of GSS on 1-MeAde production in follicle cells appears to be mediated by its receptor, G-proteins and adenylyl cyclase (Mita & Nagahama, 1991). These findings suggest that a G-protein coupled (seven transmembrane type) receptor is involved in GSS signal transduction, similarly to the pituitary-gonadal axis in vertebrates.Thus, using degenerate probes derived from consensus sequences of the mammalian glycoprotein hormone (GTH and TSH) receptors, cDNA was cloned from mRNA of ovaries of Asterina pectinifera. The cDNA showed striking structural homology with members of the glycoprotein hormone receptor family in the transmembrane region, and contained a very large extracellular region. Expression was observed in isolated ovarian follicle cells. Thus, it seems likely that the glycoprotein hormone receptor (GTHR) family gene is related to GSS receptor in ovarian follicle cells. The phylogenic relatedness of the starfish GTHR was also assessed in relation to other vertebrate GTHRs. The analysis showed that the starfish gene diverged before differentiation of the gonadotropin (LH and FSH) and TSH receptors in vertebrates.

Functional Alteration

The glycoprotein hormone receptor hinge region is the least conserved component and the most variable in size; the TSH receptor (TSHR) being the longest (152 amino acids; residues 261–412). The TSHR is also unique among the glycoprotein hormone receptor in undergoing in vivo intramolecular cleavage into disulfide-linked A- and B-subunits with removal of an intervening ‘C-peptide’ region. Experimentally, hinge region amino acids 317–366 (50 residues) can be deleted without alteration in receptor function. However, in vivo, more than 50 amino acids are deleted during TSHR intramolecular cleavage; furthermore, the boundaries of this deleted region are ragged and poorly defined. Studies to determine the extent to which hinge region deletions can be tolerated without affecting receptor function (‘minimal hinge’) are lacking. Using as a template the functionally normal TSHR with residues 317–366 deleted, progressive downstream extension of deletions revealed residue 371 to be the limit compatible with normal TSH binding and coupling with cAMP signal transduction. Based on the foregoing downstream limit, upstream deletion from residue 307 (307–371 deletion) was also tolerated without functional alteration, as was deletion of residues 303–366. Addressing a related issue regarding the functional role of the TSHR hinge region, we observed that downstream hinge residues 377–384 contribute to coupling ligand binding with cAMP signal transduction. In summary, we report the first evaluation of TSHR function in relation to proteolytic posttranslational hinge region modifications. Deletion of TSHR hinge amino acids 303–366 (64 residues) or 307–371 (65 residues) are the maximum hinge region deletions compatible with normal TSHR function.
