In eukaryotic cells, receptor endocytosis is a key event regulating signaling transduction. Adiponectin receptors belong to a new receptor family that is distinct from G-protein-coupled receptors and has critical roles in the pathogenesis of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Here, we analyzed the endocytosis of adiponectin and adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1) and found that they are both internalized into transferrin-positive compartments that follow similar traffic routes. Blocking clathrin-mediated endocytosis by expressing Eps15 mutants or depleting K(+) trapped AdipoR1 at the plasma membrane, and K(+) depletion abolished adiponectin internalization, indicating that the endocytosis of AdipoR1 and adiponectin is clathrin-dependent. Depletion of K(+) and overexpression of Eps15 mutants enhance adiponectin-stimulated AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylation, suggesting that the endocytosis of AdipoR1 might downregulate adiponectin signaling. In addition, AdipoR1 colocalizes with the small GTPase Rab5, and a dominant negative Rab5 abrogates AdipoR1 endocytosis. These data indicate that AdipoR1 is internalized through a clathrin- and Rab5-dependent pathway and that endocytosis may play a role in the regulation of adiponectin signaling.
