X Abstract

The [beta]1-adrenergic receptor ([beta]1AR) is known to be localized to synapses and to modulate synaptic plasticity in many brain regions, but the molecular mechanisms determining [beta]1AR subcellular localization are not fully understood. Using overlay and pull-down techniques, we found that the [beta]1AR carboxyl terminus associates with MAGI-2 (membrane-associated guanylate kinase inverted-2), a protein also known as S-SCAM (synaptic scaffolding molecule). MAGI-2 is a multidomain scaffolding protein that contains nine potential protein-protein interaction modules, including 6 PDZ domains, 2 WW domains, and a guanylate kinase-like domain. The [beta]1AR carboxyl terminus binds with high affinity to the first PDZ domain of MAGI-2, with the last few amino acids of the [beta]1AR carboxyl terminus being the key determinants of the interaction. In cells, the association of full-length [beta]1AR with MAGI-2 occurs constitutively and is enhanced by agonist stimulation of the receptor, as assessed by both co-immunoprecipitation experiments and immunofluorescence co-localization studies. Agonist-induced internalization of the [beta]1AR is markedly increased by co-expression with MAGI-2. Strikingly, this result is the opposite of the effect of co-expression with PSD-95, a previously reported binding partner of the [beta]1AR. Further cellular experiments revealed that MAGI-2 has no effect on [beta]1AR oligomerization but does promote association of [beta]1AR with the cytoplasmic signaling protein [beta]-catenin, a known MAGI-2 binding partner. These data reveal that MAGI-2 is a specific [beta]1AR binding partner that modulates [beta]1AR function and facilitates the physical association of the [beta]1AR with intracellular proteins involved in signal transduction and synaptic regulation. 10.1074/jbc.M107480200
