X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare disorder in which the kidney is insensitive to the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin. It has been proposed that the kidney-specific V2 vasopressin receptor, a G protein-coupled receptor, is defective in this disorder as both the disease and the receptor map to Xq28. We report six unique mutations in the V2 receptor gene of five unrelated NDI patients, with one patient having two mutations. The most severely affected patient has a nonsense mutation which would terminate the protein in transmembrane domain III. Other mutations include three missense mutations, a frameshift and one small in-frame deletion. These results represent one of the first examples of recessive mutations affecting a G protein-coupled receptor.

Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by the inability of the kidney to concentrate urine in response to vasopressin (AVP). Following the recent characterization of the cDNA and genomics sequences encoding the human V2 receptor to AVP (AVPR2), X-linked NDI has been found to be due to mutations in the AVPR2 gene that maps to the chromosome Xq28 region. To date more than 30 mutations, insertions or deletions have been reported in independent families, without any significant differences in the phenotypic expression of the disease. The AVPR2 is a member of the superfamily of 7 transmembrane domain, G protein-coupled receptor, linked to cyclic AMP second messenger system. Other types of inheritance have been described in NDI, and recently, a mutation of the aquaporin-2 gene, encoding a water channel of the renal collecting duct, has been reported in an autosomal recessive form of NDI.

A new member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily has been isolated from an ovine genomic library with a probe generated by the application of the PCR technique, using cDNA synthesized on a mRNA template isolated from the ovine pars tuberalis. This genomic clone encodes a novel receptor of 325 amino acids with seven transmembrane domains. These domains share homology with other members of this family, but the best homology is with the recently cloned human MC-1 (50% in the transmembrane domains) and MC-3 (69% in the transmembrane domains) MSH receptors and the human ACTH (42% in the transmembrane domains) receptor. When this receptor was expressed in Cos7 cells, it was able to bind a potent analogue of alpha-MSH, [Nle4,D-Phe7]-alpha-MSH (NDP-MSH), with high affinity. This binding could be displaced by pro-opiomelanocortin-derived and related peptides, with the order of potency NDP-MSH > alpha-MSH = ACTH > beta-MSH and with no effect of gamma-MSH, delta-MSH or beta-endorphin. The expressed receptor was demonstrated to be functionally coupled to the adenylate cyclase second messenger pathway, with alpha-MSH, beta-MSH and ACTH stimulating cyclic AMP production. The amount of the mRNA for this receptor was found to be very low. The tissue distribution of this receptor could only be observed using the reverse transcription-PCR technique and the receptor was found to be present in a number of somatic tissues. These data indicate that this is a new and distinct member of the melanocortin receptor family.

Choreoathetosis is a major clinical feature in only a small number of hereditary neurological disorders. We define a new X-linked syndrome with a unique clinical picture characterized by mild mental retardation, choreoathetosis, and abnormal behavior. We mapped the disease in a four-generation pedigree to chromosome Xp11 by linkage analysis and defined a candidate region containing a number of genes possibly involved in neuronal signaling, including a potassium channel gene and a neuronal G protein-coupled receptor.

Ocular albinism type 1 (OA1) is an X-linked disorder mainly characterized by a severe reduction of visual acuity, hypopigmentation of the retina and the presence of macromelanosomes in the skin and eyes. Various types of mutation have been identified within the OA1 gene in patients with the disorder, including several missense mutations of unknown functional significance. In order to shed light into the molecular pathogenesis of ocular albinism and possibly define critical functional domains within the OA1 protein, we characterized 19 independent missense mutations with respect to processing and subcellular distribution on expression in COS-7 cells. Our analysis indicates the presence of at least two distinct biochemical defects associated with the different missense mutations. Eleven of the nineteen OA1 mutants (approximately 60%) were retained in the endoplasmic reticulum, showing defecNStive intracellular transport and glycosylation, consistent with protein misfolding. The remaining eight of the nineteen OA1 mutants (approximately 40%) displayed sorting and processing behaviours indistinguishable from those of the wild-type protein. Consistent with our recent findings that OA1 represents a novel type of intracellular G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), we found that most of these latter mutations cluster within the second and third cytosolic loops, two regions that in canonical GPCRs are known to be critical for their downstream signaling, including G protein-coupling and effector activation. The biochemical analysis of OA1 mutations performed in this study provides important insights into the structure-function relationships of the OA1 protein and implies protein misfolding as a major pathogenic mechanism in OA1.

Activation of the collagen receptor glycoprotein VI (GPVI) by a collagen-related peptide (CRP) induces stimulation of platelets and megakaryocytes through the phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase-dependent pathway leading to activation of Bruton tyrosine kinase (Btk) and phospholipase Cgamma2 (PLCgamma2). Here, we present evidence that both proteins undergo PI 3-kinase-dependent translocation to the plasma membrane on CRP stimulation that is markedly inhibited by wortmannin and LY294002. Translocation of PLCgamma2 but not Btk is also seen in megakaryocytes from X-linked immunodeficiency mice, which have a mutation that reduces the affinity of the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of Btk for PI 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PI 3,4,5-P3). Activation of PC12 cells by epidermal growth factor (EGF) results in increased PI 3-kinase activity and high PI 3,4,5-P3 levels that trigger translocation of the green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled PH of Btk, but not the GFP-labeled PH and tandem Src homology 2 (SH2) domains of PLCgamma2. In contrast to the results with CRP, the G protein-coupled receptor agonist thrombin stimulates PI 3-kinase-independent translocation of Btk but not PLCgamma2. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that in mouse megakaryocytes, CRP leads to PI 3-kinase-dependent translocation of PLCgamma2 and Btk that are independent of one another, whereas thrombin only induces translocation of Btk through a pathway that is independent of PI 3-kinase activity.

To understand the mechanisms of G protein-coupled receptor delivery and steady state localization, we examined the trafficking itineraries of wild type (WT) and mutant V2 vasopressin receptors (V2Rs) in polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney II (MDCK II) cells and in COS M6 cells; the mutant V2Rs represent selected alleles responsible for X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. The WT V2R is localized on the plasma membrane and mediates arginine vasopressin (AVP)-stimulated cAMP accumulation, whereas the clinically relevant V2R mutants, L292P V2R, Delta V278 V2R, and R337X V2R, are retained intracellularly, are insensitive to extracellularly added AVP, and are not processed beyond initial immature glycosylation, manifest by their endoglycosidase H sensitivity. Reduced temperature and pharmacological, but not chemical, strategies rescue mutant V2Rs to the cell surface of COS M6 cells; surface rescue of L292P V2R and R337X V2R, but not of Delta V278 V2R, parallels acquisition of AVP-stimulated cAMP production. Pharmacological rescue of the L292P or R337X V2R by incubation with the membrane-permeant V2R antagonist, SR121463B, leads to a mature glycosylated form of the receptor that achieves localization on the basolateral surface of polarized MDCK II cells indistinguishable from that of the WT V2R. Surprisingly, however, the immature form of the mutant L292P V2R escapes to the apical, but not basolateral, surface of polarized MDCK II cells, even in the absence of SR121463B. These findings are consistent with the interpretation that the receptor conformation that allows appropriate processing through the N-linked glycosylation pathway is also essential for V2R targeting to the appropriate surface of polarized epithelial cells.

Defects in the X-linked DNA-binding megakaryocyte transcription factor GATA1 cause thrombocytopenia and abnormal platelet function. However, detailed studies of GATA1 function in platelet activation are lacking. Here, we studied platelets from GATA1-deficient mice and from a male patient (S14) with a bleeding diathesis attributed to a single amino acid substitution (R216Q) in the N-terminal GATA1 zinc finger that alters binding to DNA. In both cases there was inhibition of aggregation to collagen and decreased tyrosine phosphorylation of glycoprotein VI (GPVI)-signaling proteins. This effect was more marked in GATA1-deficient murine platelets, where it was associated with a significant reduction in surface GPVI expression. Moreover, both human and murine GATA1-mutant platelets showed reduced adhesion and aggregate formation on a collagen matrix at an intermediate rate of shear, although this could not be accounted solely by the thrombocytopenia and altered GPVI expression, indicating that GATA1 regulates additional factors important for platelet activation under shear. In contrast, there was no inhibition of responses to G protein-coupled receptor agonists in GATA1-perturbed platelets. Our results are consistent with GATA1 regulating some but not all pathways of platelet activation, leading to an impairment of aggregate formation under flow, which cannot be attributed solely to the thrombocytopenia.

Ocular albinism type 1 is an X-linked disorder characterized by severe reduction of visual acuity, retinal hypopigmentation, foveal hypoplasia, optic misrouting and the presence of giant melanosomes (macromelanosomes) in skin melanocytes and retinal pigment epithelium. The protein product of the OA1 gene is a pigment cell specific membrane glycoprotein, displaying structural and functional features of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). However, in contrast to all other previously characterized GPCRs, OA1 is not localized to the plasma membrane, but is targeted to intracellular organelles, namely late endosomes/lysosomes and melanosomes. These unique characteristics suggest that OA1 represents the first example described so far of an exclusively intracellular GPCR and regulates melanosome biogenesis by transducing signals from the organelle lumen to the cytosol. These findings support previous hypotheses that GPCR-mediated signaling might also operate at the internal membranes in mammalian cells.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a heterogeneous group of hereditary disorders of the retina caused by mutation in genes of the photoreceptor proteins with an autosomal dominant (adRP), autosomal recessive (arRP), or X-linked pattern of inheritance. Although there are over 100 identified mutations in the opsin gene associated with RP, only a few of them are inherited with the arRP pattern. E150K is the first reported missense mutation associated with arRP. This opsin mutation is located in the second cytoplasmic loop of this G protein-coupled receptor. E150K opsin expressed in HEK293 cells and reconstituted with 11-cis-retinal displayed an absorption spectrum similar to the wild type (WT) counterpart and activated G protein transducin slightly faster than WT receptor. However, the majority of E150K opsin showed a higher apparent molecular mass in SDS-PAGE and was resistant to endoglycosidase H deglycosidase. Instead of being transported to the plasma membrane, E150K opsin is partially colocalized with the cis/medial Golgi compartment markers such as GM130 and Vti1b but not with the trans-Golgi network. In contrast to the endoplasmic reticulum-retained adRP mutant, P23H opsin, Golgi-retained E150K opsin did not influence the proper transport of the WT opsin when coexpressed in HEK293 cells. This result is consistent with the recessive pattern of inheritance of this mutation. Thus, our study reveals a novel molecular mechanism for retinal degeneration that results from deficient export of opsin from the Golgi apparatus.
