Large scale sequencing of the human µ-opioid
receptor (hMOR) gene has revealed polymorphic mutations that occur
within the coding region. We have investigated whether the mutations
N40D in the extracellular N-terminal region, N152D in the third
transmembrane domain, and R265H and S268P in the third intracellular
loop alter functional properties of the receptor expressed in mammalian
cells. The N152D receptor was produced at low densities. Binding
affinities of structurally diverse opioids (morphine,
diprenorphine, DAMGO and CTOP) and the main endogenous opioid
peptides ( -endorphin, [Met]enkephalin, and dynorphin A)
were not markedly changed in mutant receptors (<3-fold). Receptor
signaling was strongly impaired in the S268P mutant, with a reduction
of efficacy and potency of several agonists (DAMGO, -endorphin, and
morphine) in two distinct functional assays. Signaling at N40D and
R265H mutants was highly similar to wild type, and none of the
mutations induced detectable constitutive activity. DAMGO-induced
down-regulation of receptor-binding sites, following 20 h of
treatment, was identical in wild-type and mutant receptors. Our data
show that natural sequence variations in hMOR gene have little
influence on ligand binding or receptor down-regulation but could
otherwise modify receptor density and signaling. Importantly, the S268P
mutation represents a loss-of-function mutation for the human
µ-opioid receptor, which may have an incidence on opioid-regulated
behaviors or drug addiction in vivo.
