  • Descrição: The 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor type 7 (5-HT7R) is a G protein-coupled receptor present primarily in the nervous system and gastrointestinal tract, where it regulates mood, cognition, digestion, and vasoconstriction. 5-HT7R has previously been shown to bind to its cognate stimulatory [G.sub.s] protein in the inactive state. This phenomenon, termed "inverse coupling," is thought to counteract the atypically high intrinsic activity of 5-HT7R. However, it is not clear how active and inactive 5-HT7 receptors affect the mobility of the [G.sub.s] protein in the plasma membrane. Here, we used single-molecule imaging of the [G.sub.s] protein and 5-H[T.sub.7]R to evaluate [G.sub.s] mobility in the membrane in the presence of 5-HT7R and its mutants. We show that expression of 5-HT7R dramatically reduces the diffusion rate of [G.sub.s]. Expression of the constitutively active mutant 5-HT7R (L173A) is less effective at slowing [G.sub.s] diffusion presumably due to the reduced ability to form long-lasting inactive complexes. An inactive 5-HT7R (N380K) mutant slows down [G.sub.s] to the same extent as the wild-type receptor. We conclude that inactive 5-HT7R profoundly affects [G.sub.s] mobility, which could lead to [G.sub.s] redistribution in the plasma membrane and alter its availability to other G protein-coupled receptors and effectors.
