Cloning of the gene and cDNA for mammalianβ-adrenergic receptor and homology with rhodopsin

Naturevolume 321, pages75–79 (1986)Cite this article

Abstract

The adenylate cyclase system, which consists of a catalytic moiety and regulatory guanine nucleotide-binding proteins, provides the effector mechanism for the intracellular actions of many hormones and drugs1. The tissue specificity of the system is determined by the particular receptors that a cell expresses. Of the many receptors known to modulate adenylate cyclase activity, the best characterized and one of the most pharmacologically important is theβ-adrenergic receptor (βAR). The pharmacologically distinguishable subtypes of theβ-adrenergic receptor,β1 andβ2 receptors, stimulate adenylate cyclase on binding specific catecholamines1. Recently, the avian erythrocyteβ1, the amphibian erythrocyteβ2 and the mammalian lungβ2 receptors have been purified to homogeneity and demonstrated to retain binding activity in detergent-solubilized form1–5. Moreover, theβ-adrenergic receptor has been reconstituted with the other components of the adenylate cyclase systemin vitro6, thus making this hormone receptor particularly attractive for studies of the mechanism of receptor action. This situation is in contrast to that for the receptors for growth factors and insulin, where the primary biochemical effectors of receptor action are unknown. Here, we report the cloning of the gene and cDNA for the mammalianβ2AR. Analysis of the amino-acid sequence predicted for theβAR indicates significant amino-acid homology with bovine rhodopsin and suggests that, like rhodopsin7,βAR possesses multiple membrane-spanning regions.
