title: Partial knockdown of G alpha i2 protein is sufficient to abolish the coupling of PYY receptors to biological response in renal proximal tubule cells.
abstract: Peptide YY (PYY)-preferring receptors are expressed in the renal proximal tubule cell clone Cl.10 isolated from the PKSV-PCT cell line. They mediate PYY-inhibited cAMP production through coupling with pertussis-sensitive Gi proteins. Previous G alpha i RNA antisense experiments demonstrated the exclusive coupling of the PYY receptor to the Gi2 protein. Here we characterized a clone stably expressing G alpha i2 antisense RNA which exhibited only a partial decrease in G alpha i2 content (#60%) as estimated by Western blot. When compared to control Cl.10 cells, this clone, referred to as Cl.10(t), exhibited: (i) an increase in the dissociation constant of PYY receptors (6.42 vs 0.63 nM); (ii) a complete absence of inhibition of [125I]PYY binding by GTP gamma S and GTP; (iii) the failure of PYY to inhibit basal and forskolin-stimulated cAMP levels; (iv) the failure of PYY to stimulate [35S]GTP gamma S binding to membranes. These findings show that partial knockdown of G alpha i2 expression in Cl.10 cells completely abolish the coupling of PYY receptors to biological response.
