- Abstract
Human thromboxane A(2) receptor (TP) consists of two alternatively spliced isoforms, TP alpha and TP beta, which differ in their cytoplasmic tails. To examine the functional difference between TP alpha and TP beta, we searched proteins bound to C termini of TP isoforms by a yeast two-hybrid system, and found that proteasome subunit alpha 7 and proteasome activator PA28 gamma interacted potently with the C terminus of TP beta. The binding of TP beta with alpha 7 and PA28 gamma was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation and pull-down assays. MG-132 and lactacystin, proteasome inhibitors, increased cell-surface expression of TP beta, but not TP alpha. Scatchard analysis of [(3)H]SQ29548 binding revealed that the B(max) was higher in transiently TP alpha-expressing cells than TP alpha-expressing cells. In addition, TP-mediated phosphoinositide hydrolysis was clearly observed in TP alpha-, but not TP beta-expressing cells. These results suggest that TP beta binds to alpha 7 and PA28 gamma, and the cell-surface expression of TP beta is lower than that of TP alpha through the negative regulation of its membrane traffic by proteasomes.
