A vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) analog, acylated on
the amino-terminal histidine by hexanoic acid (C6-VIP),
behaved as a VPAC2 preferring agonist in binding and
functional studies on human VIP receptors, and radioiodinated
C6-VIP was a suitable ligand for binding studies on
wild-type and chimeric receptors. We evaluated the properties of
C6-VIP, its analog AcHis1-VIP, and the
VPAC2-selective agonist Ro 25-1553 on the wild-type VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors and on the chimeric
receptors exchanging the different domains between both receptors. VIP
had a normal affinity and efficacy on the chimeras starting with the
amino-terminal VPAC2 receptor sequence. The binding and
functional profile of these chimeric receptors suggested that the high
affinity of Ro 25-1553 for VPAC2 receptors is supported by
the amino-terminal extracellular domain, whereas the ability to prefer
C6-VIP over VIP is supported by the VPAC2 fifth
transmembrane (TM5)-EC3 receptor domain. These results
further support the hypothesis that the central and carboxyl-terminal
regions of the peptide (modified in RO 25-1553) recognize the
extracellular amino-terminal region domain, whereas the amino-terminal
VIP amino acids bind to the TM receptor core. VIP had a reduced
affinity and efficacy on the N-VPAC1/VPAC2 and
on the N
EC2-VPAC1/VPAC2 chimeric
receptors. C6-VIP behaved as a high-affinity agonist on
these constructions. The antagonists
[AcHis1,D-Phe2,Lys15,Arg16,Leu27]VIP(3-7)/GRF(8-27)
and VIP(5-27) had comparable affinities for the wild-type receptors and
for the two latter chimeras, supporting the hypothesis that these
chimeras were properly folded but unable to reach the
high-agonist-affinity, active receptor conformation in response to VIP binding.
