Subtype-Specific Differences in Subcellular Localization of alpha 1-Adrenoceptors: Chlorethylclonidine Preferentially Alkylates the Accessible Cell Surface alpha 1-Adrenoceptors Irrespective of the Subtype

Department of Molecular, Cell Pharmacology, National Children's Medical Research Center, 3-35-31 Taishido, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, 154 Japan (A.H., T.S., T.A., G.T.), and Department of Biological Sciences, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Midori-ku, Yokohama, 226 Japan (K.T., H.I.)

Selective inactivation of alpha 1B-adrenoceptor (AR) by the site-directed alkylating agent chlorethylclonidine (CEC) has been used as one of major pharmacological criteria to subclassify alpha 1-AR; however, the mechanism for the differential CEC sensitivity of the two subtypes is uncertain, and the extent of CEC inactivation varies depending on the treatment employed. In this study, we examined the correlation between the subcellular localization of alpha 1-AR subtypes (alpha 1A and alpha 1B) and CEC sensitivity. Constructing alpha 1-AR tagged with the FLAG epitope at the amino terminus and/or green fluorescent protein (GFP) at the carboxyl terminus, we examined the subcellular distribution of alpha 1-ARs expressed in COS-7 cells. Flow cytometry analysis showed that most populations of GFP-expressing alpha 1B-AR cells, but very few GFP-expressing alpha 1A-AR cells, were detected by the anti-amino terminus antibodies. The immunocytochemical and GFP-fluorescence confocal micrographs showed that alpha 1A-ARs predominantly localize intracellularly, whereas alpha 1B-ARs localize on the cell surface. Furthermore, CEC (10 µM) treatment of intact cells resulted in an inactivation of approximately 42% of alpha 1A-ARs and 93% of alpha 1B-ARs, whereas treatment of the membrane preparations resulted in an inactivation of approximately 83% of alpha 1A-ARs and 88% of alpha 1B-ARs, respectively. Together, the results showed that a hydrophilic alkylating agent CEC preferentially inactivates alpha 1-AR on the cell surface irrespective of its subtype, and that the subtype-specific subcellular localization rather than the receptor structure is a major determinant for CEC inactivation of alpha 1-AR. Subtype-specific subcellular localization suggests an additional class of functional properties that provide new insight into drug action.
