A Novel Human Nicotinic Receptor Subunit, alpha 10, That Confers Functionality to the alpha 9-Subunit

Frédéric Sgard, Eric Charpantier, Sonia Bertrand, Nancy Walker, Daniel Caput, David Graham, Daniel Bertrand, and François Besnard

Sanofi-Synthélabo, Department of Molecular and Functional Genomics, Rueil-Malmaison, France (F.S., E.C., N.W., D.C., D.G., F.B.); and Department of Physiology, Centre Médical Universitaire, Geneva, Switzerland (E.C., S.B., D.B.)

We present herein the cloning of the human nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha 9-ortholog and the identification of a new alpha -like subunit (alpha 10) that shares 58% identity with alpha 9. Whereas alpha 10 fails to produce functional receptors alone, it promoted robust acetylcholine-evoked currents when coinjected with alpha 9. The presence of alpha 10 modifies the physiological and pharmacological properties of the alpha 9 receptor indicating that the two subunits coassemble in a single functional receptor. Fusing the N-terminal domain of alpha 9 with the rest of the alpha 10-cDNA yielded a functional alpha 9:alpha 10-chimera that displays the acetylcholine binding properties of alpha 9 and ionic pore characteristics of alpha 10-containing receptors. In addition, alpha 9- and alpha 10-subunit mRNAs show limited similar tissue distribution patterns and are expressed in cochlea, pituitary gland, and keratinocytes. These data suggest that, in vivo, alpha 9-containing receptors coassemble with alpha 10-subunit.
