Definitions
- the invention relates to a new serotonin receptor and its use, and to methods for finding functional ligands for this receptor.
- the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) plays an important role in a variety Physiologist ⁇ gic functions in terms of cognitive abilities or even in the area of behavior. Serotonergic disorders
- Stimulus transmissions are involved in numerous pathological conditions such as depression, migraines, high blood pressure or bulemia.
- Serotonin exerts its physiological and pathophysiological effect via receptors that bind serotonin with different affinities. These receptors can
- 5-HT ⁇ 5-HT 2
- 5-HT 3 5-HT 4
- 5-HT 4 This subdivision reflects both different receptor coupling and different receptor binding profiles for a number of 5-HT receptor ligands.
- rodents at least 4 subtypes of the 5-HT ⁇ receptor
- All 5-HT receptors have a high affinity for serotonin (Ki ⁇ 100 nm) and are coupled to adenylate cyclase or phospholipase C via G proteins.
- 5-HT ⁇ A 5 serotonin receptors 5-HT ⁇ A , 5-HT ⁇ C have been elucidated in their primary structure.
- 5-HT ⁇ D -iiite.
- 5-HT 2 and 5-HT 3 5 serotonin receptors 5-HT ⁇ A , 5-HT ⁇ C have been elucidated in their primary structure.
- 5-HT ⁇ D -iiite.
- 5-HT 2 and 5-HT 3 The other subtypes are only described pharmacologically (binding data) or functionally (signal transduction second messenger).
- a 5-HTi B receptor has so far only been found in rodents; in humans, 5-HT B receptors have so far not been detected pharmacologically or molecular biologically.
- 5-HT receptor subclass are specific. All known antagonists bind with high affinity to at least one further class of neurotransmitter receptors. In particular With the 5-HT- S receptor, almost no subtype-specific substances are known, so that little has so far been able to say about the physiological importance of this receptor.
- the task was therefore to clarify the molecular structure of a human 5-HTi B receptor and to provide methods for producing it in high purity. Another object was to provide methods for finding specific functional ligands for this receptor.
- SEQ ID NO 3 A new human serotonin receptor of class 1 (5-HT 1 B ) has now been found (SEQ ID NO 3), as well as DNA sequences which code for such receptors.
- SEQ ID NO 3 A cDNA coding for a protein according to the invention is shown in SEQ ID NO 2.
- DNA sequences are those which have a different nucleotide sequence than that listed in SEQ ID NO 2, but which, due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, code for the polypeptide chain listed in SEQ ID NO 3 or parts thereof. Also suitable are those DNA sequences which code for 5-HT ⁇ B receptors and which, under standard conditions, have the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO 2 or a nucleotide sequence which codes for the protein shown in SEQ ID ⁇ O 3, hybridize.
- the experimental conditions for D ⁇ A hybridization are described in textbooks of genetic engineering, for example in Maniatis et al., "Molecular Cloning", Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1989.
- Standard conditions are understood to mean, for example, temperatures between 42 and 58 ° C. in an aqueous buffer solution with a concentration between 0.1 and 1 x SSC (1 x SSC: 0.15M ,aCl, 15mM sodium citrate pH 7.2).
- the invention also relates to methods for identifying functional ligands for 5-HTi B receptors, which are characterized in that cells are transfected with a DNA sequence coding for a 5-HTi 3 receptor, the membranes of these cells are isolated and standard receptor binding experiments are carried out with these membranes.
- a further method according to the invention for identifying functional ligands for 5-HT- B receptors is characterized in that cells are transfected with a DNA sequence coding for a 5-HT- B receptor and those in these cells change in the second messenger level caused by binding of the ligand to the receptor was detected by a reporter system.
- the new polypeptides and DNAs can be genetically engineered using known methods. In this way, one can isolate mRNA from brain tissue and translate it into double-stranded cDNA. This cDNA can be used as a template for the polymerase chain reaction. By using specific primers, the corresponding cDNA can be amplified under suitable reaction conditions. By using suitable primers, the amplified cDNA can be sequenced without prior cloning. The methods used are described, for example, in "Current Protocols in Molecular Biology” (ed. FM Ausubel et al.) 1989, ISBN 0-471 50338-x (Vol. 1 and 2 set), for the polymerase chain reaction in Saiki et al. (1985) Science 230, 1350-54 and Mullis and Faloona (1987) Meth. Enzymol. 155, 335-350.
- the cDNA characterized in this way is easily accessible with the aid of restriction enzymes.
- the resulting fragments possibly in conjunction with chemically synthesized oligonucleotides, adapters or gene fragments, can be used to clone the sequences coding for the protein.
- the incorporation of the gene fragments or synthetic DNA sequences into cloning vectors for example the commercially available plasmids M13mpl8 or Bluescript, is carried out in a known manner.
- the genes or gene fragments can also be provided with suitable chemically synthesized control regions or control regions isolated from bacteria, phages, eukaryotic cells or their viruses, which enable expression of the proteins in different host systems.
- vectors for expression in mammalian cells, vectors can be used which control the gene to be expressed, in this case the cDNA coding for the ' 5-HT ⁇ B receptor described here, under the control of the mouse metallothionein or the viral SV40 promoter or under the control of the cytomegalovirus promoter (J. Page Martin, Gene, 37 (1985), 139 to 144).
- the expression of the methionine start codon of the gene which codes for this 5-HT- B receptor is necessary for the expression.
- Clones are then isolated which have copies of these vectors as episomes or integrated into the genome.
- the integration of the foreign gene into a vector which contains the cytomegalovirus promoter is particularly advantageous.
- cells can be transfected with a suitable vector such that the transient expression of the DNA thus introduced is sufficient for pharmacological characterization of the heterologous polypeptides expressed.
- Control of expression by the cytomegalovirus promoter is also particularly advantageous here.
- telomeres In connection with prokaryotic sequences which code for replication in bacterial cells and an antibiotic resistance, the use of "shuttle" vectors is very suitable.
- the plasmid is first constructed and propagated in bacterial cells; the eukaryotic cells, for example in the embryonic human kidney line HEK 293.
- Particularly suitable "shuttle" vectors are the commercially available plasmids vcCMV, pCDM8 and pCDNAI (INVITROGEN, San Diego, USA).
- yeast and other fungi insect cells and animal and human cells
- suitable expression vectors for the expression of the cloned cDNA can also be used in conjunction with suitable expression vectors for the expression of the cloned cDNA.
- the eukaryotic expression systems have the advantage that they are able to express their products effectively and mostly in their native form. They also have the ability to modify their products post-translationally.
- the expressed receptor proteins may be detergents, such as CHAPS (3- [(3-cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonium] -L-pro- pansulfonat) and solubilized by chromatography Affinticianschro ⁇ bodies, for example, with anti-receptor-specific be purified by known methods. After crystallization and X-ray structure analysis or other suitable physical processes such as NMR or scanning tunneling microscopy, the pure polypeptide can be used to clarify the spatial structure of the ligand binding site.

After crystallization and X-ray structure analysis or other suitable physical processes such as NMR or scanning tunneling microscopy, the pure polypeptide can be used to clarify the spatial structure of the ligand binding site.
- the expressed receptor proteins can also serve as antigens for the generation of polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies. These antibodies in turn can optionally be used for diagnostic purposes. Another application for such antibodies is to use them as aids for rational drug design.
- receptor-specific antibodies can be used as antigens for the generation of anti-idiotypic antibodies.
- Such antibodies can represent an image of the receptor for defined areas and can be used for screening for specific receptor ligands or for rational drug design.
- Receptor-expressing cell lines represent an important instrument in the screening for specific receptor ligands.
- the membranes of these cells can be used for receptor binding tests.
- corresponding reporter systems for example luciferase, which are coupled to a promoter system which is regulated by connecting signal transduction pathways such as Ca ++ , cAMP, IP 3 metabolite (second messenger), can directly provide information about Mode of action (agonism / antagonism) of a receptor ligand.
