Abstract

In mice genetic ablation of expression of either melanin-concentrating hormone or the melanin-concentrating hormone-1 receptor results in alterations in energy metabolism and a lean phenotype. There is thus great interest in the function and regulation of this receptor. Using the yeast two-hybrid system we identified an interaction of the actin- and intermediate filament-binding protein periplakin with the intracellular C-terminal tail of the melanin-concentrating hormone-1 receptor. Direct association of these proteins was verified in pull-down and coimmunoprecipitation experiments. Truncations and internal deletions delineated the site of interaction to a group of 11 amino acids proximal to transmembrane helix VII, which was distinct from the binding site for the melanin-concentrating hormone-1 receptor-interacting zinc finger protein. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated coexpression of periplakin with melanin-concentrating hormone-1 receptor in specific cells of the piriform cortex, amygdala, and other structures of the adult mouse brain. Coexpression of the melanin-concentrating hormone-1 receptor with periplakin in human embryonic kidney 293 cells did not prevent agonist-mediated internalization of the receptor but did interfere with binding of 35S-labeled guanosine 5′-3-O-(thio)triphosphate ([35S]GTPγS) to the G protein Gαo1 and the elevation of [Ca2+]i. Coexpression of the receptor with the interacting zinc finger protein did not modulate receptor internalization or G protein activation. The interaction of periplakin with receptors was selective. Coexpression of periplakin with the IP prostanoid receptor did not result in coimmunoprecipitation nor interfere with agonist-mediated binding of [35S]GTPγS to the G protein Gαs. Periplakin is the first protein described to modify the capacity of the melanin-concentrating hormone-1 receptor to initiate signal transduction.
