Cloning and pharmacological characterization of a rabbit bradykinin B1 receptor.
A rabbit B1 bradykinin receptor cDNA was isolated from a rabbit aorta smooth muscle cell library. The 1223 bp cDNA clone encodes a protein of 352 amino acids which is 78% identical to the human bradykinin B1(3) receptor protein. Heterologous expression of the rabbit B1 receptor cDNA in COS-7 cells imparts a high affinity specific binding for 3H-labeled [des-Arg10,Leu9]kallidin. Scatchard analysis indicates that the receptor binds the radiolabeled ligand with a Kd of 0.5 nM. The ability of kallidin (Lys-bradykinin) and bradykinin analogues to compete with binding of 3H-labeled [des-Arg10,Leu9]kallidin was determined and defined a rank order of potency: [des-Arg10,Leu9]kallidin = [des-Arg10]kallidin > [des- Arg9]bradykinin = kallidin >> bradykinin. This receptor exhibits the classical B1 pharmacological property of preferentially binding to kinin analogues which lack the C-terminal arginine. In addition, the affinities for [des-Arg10]kallidin and [des-Arg10,Leu9]kallidin are 100-fold higher than those for the corresponding bradykinin analogues [des-Arg9]bradykinin and [des-Arg9,Leu8]bradykinin which lack the N-terminal lysine. This pharmacological profile is characteristic of the B1 receptor subtype.
