Dimerization and phosphorylation of
thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) receptors was characterized using
HEK293 and pituitary GHFT cells expressing epitope-tagged receptors.
TRH receptors tagged with FLAG and hemagglutinin epitopes were
co-precipitated only if they were co-expressed, and 10-30% of
receptors were isolated as hemagglutinin/FLAG-receptor dimers under
basal conditions. The abundance of receptor dimers was increased when
cells had been stimulated by TRH, indicating that TRH either stabilizes pre-existing dimers or increases dimer formation. TRH increased receptor dimerization and phosphorylation within 1 min in a
dose-dependent manner. TRH increased phosphorylation of
both receptor monomers and dimers, documented by incorporation of
32P and an upshift in receptor mobility reversed by
phosphatase treatment. The ability of TRH to increase receptor
phosphorylation and dimerization did not depend on signal transduction,
because it was not inhibited by the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122. Receptor phosphorylation required an agonist but was not blocked by the
casein kinase II inhibitor apigenin, the protein kinase C
inhibitor GF109203X, or expression of a dominant negative form of G
protein-coupled receptor kinase 2. TRH receptors lacking most of the
cytoplasmic carboxyl terminus formed dimers constitutively but failed
to undergo agonist-induced dimerization and phosphorylation. TRH also
increased phosphorylation and dimerization of TRH receptors expressed
in GHFT pre-lactotroph cells.
