To examine thyrotropin (TSH) receptor homophilic
interactions we fused the human TSH receptor (hTSHR) carboxyl terminus
to green fluorescent protein (GFP) and the corresponding chimeric cDNA was expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Fluorescent TSH
receptors on the plasma membrane were functional as assessed by
TSH-induced cAMP synthesis. The binding of TSH, as well as TSHR
autoantibodies, induced time- and dose-dependent receptor capping. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer between
receptors differentially tagged with GFP variants (RFP and YFP)
provided evidence for the close proximity of individual receptor
molecules. This was consistent with previous studies demonstrating the
presence of TSHR dimers and oligomers in thyroid tissue.
Co-immunoprecipitation of GFP-tagged and Myc-tagged receptor
complexes was performed using doubly transfected cells with Myc
antibody. Western blotting of the immunoprecipitated complex revealed
the absence of noncleaved TSH holoreceptors. This further suggested
that cleavage of the holoreceptor into its two-subunit structure,
comprising disulfide-linked TSHR- and TSHR- subunits, was
required for the formation of TSHR dimers and higher order complexes.
