AbstractThe β₁-adrenergic receptor (β₁AR) is the predominant βAR in the heart, mediating the catecholamine-stimulated increase in cardiac rate and force of contraction. Regulation of this important G protein-coupled receptor is nevertheless poorly understood. We describe here the biosynthetic profile of the human β₁AR and reveal novel features relevant to its regulation using an inducible heterologous expression system in HEK293i cells. Metabolic pulse-chase labeling and cell surface biotinylation assays showed that the synthesized receptors are efficiently and rapidly transported to the cell surface. The N terminus of the mature receptor is extensively modified by sialylated mucin-type O-glycosylation in addition to one N-glycan attached to Asn15. Furthermore, the N terminus was found to be subject to limited proteolysis, resulting in two membrane-bound C-terminal fragments. N-terminal sequencing of the fragments identified two cleavage sites between Arg³¹ and Leu³² and Pro⁵² and Leu⁵³, which were confirmed by cleavage site and truncation mutants. Metalloproteinase inhibitors were able to inhibit the cleavage, suggesting that it is mediated by a matrix metalloproteinase or a disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) family member. Most importantly, the N-terminal cleavage was found to occur not only in vitro but also in vivo. Receptor activation mediated by the βAR agonist isoproterenol enhanced the cleavage in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, and it was also enhanced by direct stimulation of protein kinase C and adenylyl cyclase. Mutation of the Arg³¹–Leu³² cleavage site stabilized the mature receptor. We hypothesize that the N-terminal cleavage represents a novel regulatory mechanism of cell surface β₁ARs. see all
