Abstract

The neuropeptide head activator (HA) is a mitogen for mammalian cell lines of neuronal or neuroendocrine origin. HA signalling is mediated by a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). Orphan GPCRs with homology to peptide receptors were screened for HA interaction. Electrophysiological recordings in frog oocytes and in mammalian cell lines as well as Ca2+ mobilisation assays revealed nanomolar affinities of HA to GPR37. HA signal transduction through GPR37 was mediated by an inhibitory G protein and required Ca2+ influx through a channel of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family. It also required activation of Ca2+-dependent calmodulin kinase and phosphoinositide 3-kinase. Respective inhibitors blocked HA signalling and HA-induced mitosis in GPR37-expressing cells. HA treatment resulted in internalisation of GPR37. Overexpression of GPR37 led to aggregate formation, retention of the receptor in the cytoplasm and low survival rates of transfected cells, confirming the notion that misfolded GPR37 contributes to cell death, as observed in Parkinson's disease.
