Abstract
To investigate the ligand-binding site of the human endothelin-A-receptor subtype (ETA), we have produced various chimeric and mutated receptors in chinese hamster ovary cells. The substitution of Lys140 with Ile located in the C-terminus of the second transmembrane region caused a 13-fold reduction in affinity for endothelin-1 (ET-1) and 3.6-fold lower Bmax than those values for the original receptor. Correspondingly, the mutated ETA receptor with the Lys140-->Ile substitution failed to induce an increase in the intracellular calcium concentration in the presence of 1 nM ET-1. Thus, the Lys140 in the ETA receptor is important in ligand binding. ETA and ETB receptors possess the ET isopeptides selective and non-selective binding activities, respectively. Displacement experiments and the binding of 125I-ET-3 to various chimera receptors demonstrated that both the third and fourth extracellular regions, including the flanking transmembrane regions, are responsible for the ligand-binding selectivity of the ETA receptor.Keywords
