Abstract

The human APJ receptor (APJR), activated by apelin isoforms, regulates cardiovascular functions and fluid homeostasis. Understanding its structure-function relationship is crucial for a comprehensive knowledge of signalling aberrations that cause several physiological disorders. Here, we demonstrate the influence of extracellular loop (ECL) domains in the mechanism of β-arrestin-mediated signalling from human APJR: Apelin system. Alanine mutations of evolutionarily conserved residues were characterized using receptor internalization, β-arrestin pull-down, Akt phosphorylation and cell migration assay. C281A and 268 KTL270 -AAA in ECL3 were deficient in all assays, whereas 183 MDYS186 -AAAA mutant in ECL2 showed impaired β-arrestin-mediated signalling but demonstrated Gi -dependent cell migration. Our findings establish that conserved residues in the extracellular domain play a prominent role in modulating receptor interactions with the β-arrestin signalling cascade.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
