Glycoprotein hormone receptors are G
protein-coupled receptors with ligand-binding ectodomains consisting of
leucine-rich repeats. The ectodomain is connected by a conserved
cysteine-rich hinge region to the seven transmembrane (TM) region.
Gain-of-function mutants of luteinizing hormone (LH) and
thyroid-stimulating hormone receptors found in patients allowed
identification of residues important for receptor activation. Based on
constitutively active mutations at Ser-281 in the hinge region of the
thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor, we mutated the conserved serine
in the LH (S277I) and follicle-stimulating hormone receptors (S273I)
and observed increased basal cAMP production and ligand affinity by
mutant receptors. For the LH receptor, conversion of Ser-277 to
all natural amino acids led to varying degrees of receptor activation.
Hydropathy index analysis indicated that substitution of neutral serine
with selective nonpolar hydrophobic residues (Leu>Val>Met>Ile)
confers constitutive receptor activation whereas serine deletion or
substitution with charged Arg, Lys, or Asp led to defective receptor
expression. Furthermore, mutation of the angular proline near Ser-273
to flexible Gly also led to receptor activation. The findings suggest
the ectodomain of glycoprotein hormone receptors constrain the TM region. Point mutations in the hinge region of these proteins, or
ligand binding to these receptors, could cause conformational changes in the TM region that result in Gs activation.
