We investigated the subcellular localization of
two endothelin receptors (ETAR and ETBR).
To visualize these receptors directly, the C terminus of each receptor
was fused to the N terminus of enhanced green fluorescent protein
(designated as ETR-EGFP). When transiently expressed in various
mammalian cell lines, ETAR-EGFP was predominantly localized
on the plasma membrane. By contrast, ETBR-EGFP was,
independent of ligand stimulation, predominantly localized on the
intracellular vesicular structures containing Lamp-1. Immunoblot
analyses revealed that at steady state ETBR-EGFP was highly
degraded, and its degradation was inhibited by bafilomycin A1. Antibody uptake experiments suggested that the
ETBR-EGFP molecules were internalized from the plasma
membrane. It is therefore likely that ETBR is first
transported to the plasma membrane and then internalized, irrespective
of ligand stimulation, to lysosomes where it undergoes proteolytic
degradation. Exchanging the C-terminal cytoplasmic tails of the two
ETRs revealed that the cytoplasmic tail is responsible for both the
intracellular localization and the degradation of the receptors.
Deletion of the extreme C-terminal 35 amino acids from both receptors
allowed the receptor proteins to localize predominantly in the
intracellular vesicles and to degrade. These observations indicate that
the cytoplasmic tail of ETAR determines its plasma membrane
localization. Stimulation with endothelin-1 increased the amount of
intact ETR-EGFP fusion proteins without increasing their de
novo synthesis, suggesting that binding of endothelin-1
stabilizes the ETRs.
