The binding of glucagon to its hepatic receptor is known to result in a
number of effects, including the intracellular accumulation of cAMP, the
mobilization of intracellular Ca2+, and the endocytosis of glucagon and its
receptor into intracellular vesicles. In this study, we begin to define the
functional role of the COOH-terminal tail of the human glucagon receptor in
glucagon-stimulated signal transduction and receptor internalization. We
have created and expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells five
truncation mutants in which the COOH-terminal 24, 56, 62, 67, and 73 amino
acids have been removed. Cells expressing relevant truncated receptors were
assayed for cell surface expression by immunofluorescence, for
ligand-binding properties, for cAMP and Ca2+-mediated signal transduction
properties, and for receptor endocytosis. In addition, a mutant receptor
containing seven serine-to-alanine mutations in the COOH-terminal tail was
studied. Our results reveal the following: 1) a region of the COOH-terminal
tail that is required for proper cell surface expression, 2) the
COOH-terminal 62 amino acids, which comprise the majority of the tail, are
not required for ligand binding, cAMP accumulation, or Ca2+ mobilization,
and 3) phosphorylation of the COOH-terminal tail is crucial for
glucagon-stimulated receptor endocytosis.
