Journal Article
Effects of Swapping 5HT3 and α7 Residues in Chimeric Receptor Proteins on RIC3 and NACHO Chaperone Actions
2025
Overview
Alpha7 nicotinic receptors (α7-nAChRs) are implicated in many neurological disorders, but how they fold and assemble is not well understood. Unlike native α7-nAChRs, α7-5HT3 chimeras fold efficiently in HEK cells and do not require chaperones RIC3 or TMEM35A (NACHO) for proper assembly. We investigated the effects of swapping 5HT3 and α7-receptor protein sequences on α7-5HT3R chimera surface expression in mammalian HEK293 or Bosc23 cells, or chimeric receptor function using Xenopus laevis oocytes with or without chaperones. α7-5HT3Rs, consisting of human α7-nAChRs with mouse 5HT3 transmembrane domains (TMs) express without chaperones as measured by cell surface alpha-bungarotoxin binding. However, when subunit TMs from α7-nAChRs and 5HT3Rs were mixed, chaperones were required. Substituting the SAP motif prior to the α7-nAChR “Latch” tail sequence for the 5HT3 C-terminal decreased expression relative to α7-nAChRs with chaperones. Chaperone effects on L264 and G265 mutations in M2 were also investigated. Some constructs that express well in HEK293 or Bosc23 cells are nonfunctional in oocytes with or without NACHO. Our data do not support direct binding of RIC3 or NACHO to the α7-nAChR TM4 (M4) region; instead, they emphasize the functional importance of the conserved SAP motif.
