Truncations at the carboxyl termini of G protein-coupled receptors result in defective receptor biogenesis and comprise a number of inherited disorders. In order to evaluate the structural role of the C-terminus in G protein-coupled receptor biogenesis, we generated a series of deletion and substitution mutations in the dopamine D1 receptor and visualized receptor subcellular localization by fusion to a green fluorescent protein. Alanine substitutions of several hydrophobic residues within the proximal C-terminus resulted in receptor transport arrest in the ER. Agonist binding and coupling to adenylyl cyclase was also abolished. In contrast, substitutions conserving C-terminal hydrophobicity produced normal cell surface receptor expression, binding, and stimulatory function. A mechanism for the role of the C-terminus in D1 receptor transport was investigated by searching for candidate protein interactions. The D1 receptor was found to co-precipitate and associate in vitro directly with the gamma-subunit of the COPI coatomer complex. In vitro pull-down assays confirmed that only the D1 C-terminus is required for COPI association, and that identical mutations causing disruption of receptor transport to the cell surface also disrupted binding to COPI. Furthermore, conservative mutations in the D1 C-terminus restored COPI association just as they restored cell surface transport. These results suggest that association between the coatomer complex and hydrophobic residues within the proximal C-terminus of the D1 receptor may serve an important role in receptor transport.
