Abstract
GPR15 is a G protein-coupled receptor involved in immune disorders such as human immunodeficiency virus-induced enteropathy, multiple sclerosis, and colitis. Yet, the important endocytosis mechanism of GPR15 remained unclear. This study determined the participation of endocytic machinery proteins, including Gα proteins, G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs), protein kinase C (PKCs), arrestins, clathrin, caveolin, and dynamin in GPR15 internalisation. The results demonstrate that GPR15 internalisation is moderately dependent on GRKs and clathrin, and highly dependent on caveolin and dynamin. Moreover, a bystander arrestin recruitment assay showed that GPR15 recruits arrestin-3 to the cell membrane upon agonist stimulation, although GPR15 internalizes in an arrestin-independent manner. Overall, our study provides novel insights into ß-arrestin recruitment and receptor internalisation mechanisms for the recently deorphanized GPR15.
