A constitutively activating mutation encoding
Asp578 Gly in transmembrane helix 6 of the
lutropin/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHR) is the most common cause of
gonadotropin-independent, male-limited precocious puberty. This mutant
LHR produces a 4.5-fold increase in basal cAMP when expressed in COS-7
cells. To better understand the normal role of Asp578 in
the LHR we studied the effect of seven other amino acid substitutions at this position. No agonist binding or response was detected with the
Asp578 Pro mutant. Agonist binding affinity was
unaffected by the other substitutions and estimated receptor
concentrations ranged from 11 to 184% of wild type. Substitution of
Asp578 with Asn, a similarly sized, uncharged residue, did
not produce agonist-independent activation. In contrast, replacement
with Glu, Ser, or Leu caused 4.9-5.6-fold stimulation of basal cAMP. Substitution with Tyr (8.5-fold) or Phe (7.5-fold) had a greater activating effect. Only the Tyr, Phe, and Leu mutants showed
constitutive activation of the inositol phosphate pathway. Our data
suggest that it is the ability of the Asp578 side chain to
serve as a properly positioned hydrogen bond acceptor, rather than its
negative charge, that is important for stabilizing the inactive state
of the LHR. A bulky aromatic side chain at position 578 may further
destabilize the inactive receptor conformation.
