β2-Adrenergic ion-channel coupled receptors as conformational motion detectors.
Ion Channel-Coupled Receptors (ICCRs) are artificial proteins comprised of a G protein-coupled receptor and a fused ion channel, engineered to couple channel gating to ligand binding. These novel biological objects have potential use in drug screening and functional characterization, in addition to...

Ion Channel-Coupled Receptors (ICCRs) are artificial proteins comprised of a G protein-coupled receptor and a fused ion channel, engineered to couple channel gating to ligand binding. These novel biological objects have potential use in drug screening and functional characterization, in addition to providing new tools in the synthetic biology repertoire as synthetic K(+)-selective ligand-gated channels. The ICCR concept was previously validated with fusion proteins between the K(+) channel Kir6.2 and muscarinic M(2) or dopaminergic D(2) receptors. Here, we extend the concept to the distinct, longer β(2)-adrenergic receptor which, unlike M(2) and D(2) receptors, displayed barely detectable surface expression in our Xenopus oocyte expression system and did not couple to Kir6.2 when unmodified. Here, we show that a Kir6.2-binding protein, the N-terminal transmembrane domain of the sulfonylurea receptor, can greatly increase plasma membrane expression of β(2) constructs. We then demonstrate how engineering of both receptor and channel can produce β(2)-Kir6.2 ICCRs.
