To analyze the coupling of Galpha subunits to the rat neurotensin receptor NTS-1 (NTR), fusion proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli with various Galpha subunits covalently linked to the receptor C-terminus. The presence of Galpha(q) or Galpha(i/q), in which the six C-terminal residues of Galpha(i1) were replaced with those from Galpha(q), increased the percentage of receptors in the agonist high-affinity state. This effect was less pronounced for wild-type Galpha(i1) and not observed for Galpha(i/s). Functional coupling of neurotensin receptor to Galpha was demonstrated by neurotensin-induced [(35)S]GTPgammaS binding for the Galpha(q), Galpha(i/q) and Galpha(i1) subunits, but not for Galpha(i/s). Our results extend previous findings of the dual coupling of NTR to pertussis toxin-sensitive and -insensitive G-proteins in Chinese hamster ovary cells with preference for the latter.
