Palmitoylation of CCR5 is critical for receptor trafficking and efficient activation of intracellular signaling pathways

Abstract

CCR5 is a CC chemokine receptor expressed on memory lymphocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells and also constitutes the main coreceptor for macrophage-tropic (or R5) strains of human immunodeficiency viruses. In the present study, we investigated whether CCR5 was palmitoylated in its carboxyl-terminal domain by generating alanine substitution mutants for the three cysteine residues present in this region, individually or in combination. We found that wild-type CCR5 was palmitoylated, but a mutant lacking all three Cys residues was not. Through the use of green fluorescent fusion proteins and immunofluorescence studies, we found that the absence of receptor palmitoylation resulted in sequestration of CCR5 in intracellular biosynthetic compartments. By using the fluorescence recovery after photobleaching technique, we showed that the non-palmitoylated mutant had impaired diffusion properties within the endoplasmic reticulum. We next studied the ability of the mutants to bind and signal in response to chemokines. Chemokines binding and activation of G(i)-mediated signaling pathways, such as calcium mobilization and inhibition of adenylate cyclase, were not affected. However, the duration of the functional response, as measured ...Continue Reading
