The P2Y2 receptor is a uridine/adenosine triphosphate
(UTP/ATP)-sensitive G-protein-linked nucleotide receptor that
previously has been reported to stimulate the phosphoinositide
signaling pathway. Messenger RNA for this receptor has been detected in brain tissue. We have investigated the coupling of the molecularly defined rat P2Y2 receptor to neuronal N-type
Ca2+ channels and to M-type K+
channels by heterologous expression in rat superior cervical sympathetic (SCG) neurons. After the injection of P2Y2
cRNA, UTP inhibited the currents carried by both types of ion channel.
As previously reported [], UTP inhibited the
Ca2+ current
(ICa(N)) by up to 64%, with an
IC50 of ~0.5 µM. We now find that UTP also
inhibited the K+M current
(IK(M)) by up to 61%, with an
IC50 of ~1.5 µM. UTP had no effect on
either current in neurons not injected with P2Y2 cRNA.
Structure-activity relations for the inhibition of
ICa(N) and IK(M)
in P2Y2 cRNA-injected neurons were similar, with UTP ATP > ITP GTP,UDP. However, coupling to these two
channels involved different G-proteins: pretreatment with
Pertussis toxin (PTX) did not affect UTP-induced
inhibition of IK(M) but reduced inhibition
of ICa(N) by ~60% and abolished the
voltage-dependent component of this inhibition. In unclamped neurons,
UTP greatly facilitated depolarization-induced action potential
discharges. Thus, the single P2Y2 receptor can couple to at
least two G-proteins to inhibit both
Ca2+N and
K+M channels with near-equal facility.
This implies that the P2Y2 receptor may induce a broad
range of effector responses in the nervous system.
