Opioid Receptors of Neuroblastoma Cells Are in Two Domains of the Plasma Membrane that Differ in Content of G Proteins

Abstract: Opioid receptors of NG 108-15 cell membranes are distributed in two membrane fractions sedimenting at 20,000 g (P2) and 200,000 g(P3). The number of receptors is identical in P2 and P3, but in P2 all sites are present in one high-affinity state (2 nM), whereas in P3 60% of these receptors display lower affinity (150 nM). Upon addition of GTP or pretreatment with pertussis toxin, 80% of the sites exist in low affinity in both P2 and P3. Therefore, the effect of GTP and pertussis toxin on agonist binding appears… Show more

“…In the present study, prolonged exposure of SH-SY5Y cells to DAMGO produced a typical 4.5-fold shift of its dose-response curve to the right, and Western blots revealed a specific reduction in the cellular content of G.. Considering the evidence for compartmentation of G proteins (44,45), the observed decrease of 26% could reflect a larger change in a discrete region of the plasma membrane. Previous studies have described altered levels of G protein following chronic opioid treatment: the effects were tissue dependent and resulted in different patterns of G-protein content in various regions of rat brain (46,47).…”

“…HEK-293 cells do not have caveoli, although ␤-adrenergic receptors and adenylyl cyclase V/VI localize to low buoyant density membrane domains in these cells (40). In addition, membrane fractionation studies have provided evidence for microdomains in the plasma membranes of neuroblastoma cells (41) and neutrophils (42) that have differences in their G protein content, and polarized epithelial cells differentially sort G protein ␣ subunits (43) and G protein-coupled receptors (44). It will be of interest to use the dominant negative ␣ s mutant described here to sort out the potential role of intracellular compartmentalization in regulating G protein signaling pathways in a wide range of cells and tissues.…”
