Internal Trafficking and Surface Mobility of a Functionally Intact beta 2-Adrenergic Receptor-Green Fluorescent Protein Conjugate

Howard Hughes Medical Institute Laboratories (L.S.B., S.S.G.F., J.Z., M.G.C.), Department of Cell Biology (L.S.B., S.S.G., J.Z., C.M., T.M., M.G.C.), and Department of Medicine (M.G.C.), Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina 27710

The beta 2-adrenergic receptor (beta 2AR) is prototypic of the large family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) whose desensitization and resensitization are regulated by intracellular kinases, arrestin proteins, phosphatases, and ill-defined components of the cellular endocytic machinery. The study of beta 2AR signal transduction and behavior in living cells is technically difficult because of the relatively low cellular expression of the receptor and a lack of useful biological reagents. Availability of a functional beta 2AR tagged with the highly sensitive Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) could allow measurements of the various properties of the beta 2AR. We demonstrate that a fully functional beta 2AR/GFP can be engineered. In mammalian cells, beta 2AR/S65T/GFP demonstrates strong, diffuse plasma membrane fluorescence when observed with 480 nm excitation. The fluorescent receptor binds agonist and antagonist, stimulates adenylyl cyclase, undergoes phosphorylation, and is internalized in a manner indistinguishable from wild-type receptor. We then show that its internal trafficking and surface mobility can be determined by measuring only the endogenous fluorescence of the conjugate. beta 2AR/S65T/GFP was found to be localized on endosomal membranes in living cells within minutes of agonist treatment, and within 15 min it is observed in more complicated structures formed from fusion of multiple endosomes. Finally, its free diffusion (diffusion coefficient, 4.0-12 × 10-9 cm2/sec) was assessed on living cells using photobleaching recovery measurements. This approach and the fidelity of the biochemical properties of the beta 2AR/S65T/GFP demonstrate that real-time optical measurements of beta 2AR (as well as other GPCR) interactions and dynamics on living cells are feasible.
