The molecular biology of serotonin receptors. An overview
Abstract
Recently, the family of G protein-coupled serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine[5-HT]) receptors has begun to yield to molecular analysis. The cloning of the 5-HT1C and 5-HT2 receptors has provided a structural basis for the similarities observed in their pharmacologic properties. Furthermore, pharmacologic characterization of the transfected human 5-HT2 receptor has answered two outstanding questions regarding this receptor. First, the few amino acid differences that exist between the human and the rat genes are sufficient to account for the species differences seen in their pharmacologic properties. Second, the single protein encoded by the human 5-HT2 receptor gene is capable of binding both [3H]DOB and [3H]ketanserin. Analysis of the effects of guanine nucleotides provides further evidence that this single protein binds both ligands, that this receptor has high- and low-affinity states, and that these states are partially interconvertible. Furthermore, the close relationship between the adrenergic receptors and the 5-HT1A receptor has been reaffirmed by the recent cloning of a new adrenergic receptor subtype, alpha 2B, by use of the 5-HT1A receptor sequence. Finally, the detailed level of structural information now available on serotonin receptors has yielded valuable information about the ligand binding site and about the possible functional significance of differing rates of evolutionary change in various parts of the gene.
