The rat lutropin/choriogonadotropin receptor (rLHR) is a member
of the rhodopsin-like subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors that has
two adjacent dileucine motifs in the C-terminal cytoplasmic tail. Here
we show that simultaneous (L613,614,615,616A) or individual (L613,L614A
or L615,616A) mutation of the two adjacent dileucine motifs to alanines
results in mutants with enhanced rates of agonist-induced internalization. The L613,L614A mutation was much more effective in
enhancing internalization than the L615,L616A mutation. Moreover, the
L613A mutation was more effective than the L614A mutation. Because in
the human LHR the residues equivalent to L613 and L614 of the rLHR are
a phenylalanine and a leucine (F635 and L636), we also prepared mutants
that exchanged these motifs. In the rLHR, an LL-to-FL exchange enhanced
endocytosis, and in the human LHR, an FL-to-LL exchange impaired
endocytosis. The internalization of rLHR-wt and rLRH-L613,L614A was
inhibited by coexpression of the clathrin-binding domain of
-arrestin. In fact, this manipulation reduced the enhanced rate of
internalization of rLHR-L613,614A back to that of rLHR-wt. The
L613,614A mutation does not affect the degradation of the internalized
agonist or the membrane targeting of the nascent rLHR. The L615,616A
mutation also did not affect degradation of the internalized agonist
but impaired the membrane targeting of the nascent rLHR. We conclude
that the dileucine-based motifs of the rLHR inhibit internalization and
suggest that this inhibition may be due to an impairment in the binding
of the rLHR to endogenous nonvisual arrestins.
