Quantitative assessment of beta 1- and beta 2-adrenergic receptor homo- and heterodimerization by bioluminescence resonance energy transfer
Abstract
Quantitative bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) analysis was applied to the study of beta(1)- and beta(2)-adrenergic receptor homo- and heterodimerization. To assess the relative affinity between each of the protomers, BRET saturation experiments were carried out in HEK-293T cells. beta(1)- and beta(2)-adrenergic receptors were found to have similar propensity to engage in homo- and heterotropic interactions suggesting that, at equivalent expression levels of the two receptor subtypes, an equal proportion of homo- and heterodimers would form. Analysis of the data also revealed that, at equimolar expression levels of energy donor and acceptor, more than 80% of the receptor molecules exist as dimers and that this high incidence of receptor dimerization is insensitive to receptor density for expression levels varying between 1.4 and 26.9 pmol of receptor/mg of membrane protein. Taken together, these results indicate that most of the receptors expressed in cells exist as constitutive dimers and that, at least in undifferentiated fibroblasts, the proportion of homo- and heterodimers between the closely related beta(1)- and beta(2)-adrenergic receptors is determined by their relative levels of expression.
