Domains for G-protein coupling in angiotensin II receptor type I: studies by site-directed mutagenesis.
To delineate domains essential for G-protein coupling in angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1), we mutated the receptor cDNA in the putative cytosolic regions and determined consequent changes in the effect of GTP analogs on angiotensin II (Ang II) binding and in inositol trisphosphate production in response to Ang II. Polar residues in targeted areas were replaced by small neutral residues. Mutations in the second cytosolic loop, carboxy terminal region of the third cytosolic loop or deletional mutation in the carboxyl terminal tail simultaneously abolished both the GTP-induced shift to the low affinity form and Ang II-induced stimulation of inositol trisphosphate production. These results suggest that polar residues in the second cytosolic loop, the carboxy terminal region of the third cytosolic loop, and the carboxy terminal cytosolic tail are important for G-protein coupling of AT1 receptor.
