Abstract
A glycosylation deficient (dG) version of the human adenosine 2a receptor (hA2aR) was made in Pichia pastoris strain SMD1163. Under optimal conditions, expression levels of between 8 and 12pmol receptor/mg membrane protein were obtained routinely. In a shake flask, this is equivalent to ca. 0.2mg of receptor per litre of culture. The level of functional receptor produced was essentially independent of the pH of the yeast media. In contrast to this, addition of the hA2aR antagonist theophylline to the culture media caused a twofold increase in receptor expression. A similar effect on dG hA2aR production was also observed when the induction temperature was reduced from 29 to 22 degrees C. In P. pastoris membranes, dG hA2aR had native-like pharmacological properties, binding antagonists with rank potency ZM241385>XAC>theophylline, as well as the agonist NECA. Furthermore, the receptor was made with its large (ca. 120 amino acid) C-terminal domain intact. dG hA2aR was purified to homogeneity in three steps, and its identity confirmed by electrospray tandem mass spectrometry following digestion with trypsin. The secondary structure of the entire receptor is largely (ca. 81%) alpha-helical. Purified dG hA2aR bound [(3)H]ZM241385 in a...Continue Reading
