Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell-surface receptors and are involved in a variety of pathological conditions including cancer and cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological, and autoimmune diseases. GPCRs are being intensively investigated as targets for therapeutic intervention, and the beta-arrestin recruitment assay has become a popular tool for analyzing GPCR activation. Here, we report a high-throughput method for cloning GPCR cDNAs into adenoviral bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) vectors and performing the beta-arrestin BiFC assay in cells transduced with recombinant adenoviruses. An analysis of the activation of somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) with the adenovirus-based beta-arrestin BiFC assay showed that the assay is suitable for quantifying SSTR2 activation in response to specific agonists or antagonists. Furthermore, the adenovirus-based beta-arrestin BiFC assay was able to detect the activation of a broad range of GPCRs. Collectively, our data indicate that the adenovirus-based beta-arrestin BiFC assay can serve as a simple and universal platform for studying GPCR activation and thus will be useful for high-throughput screening of drugs that target GPCRs.
