The recently cloned vanilloid receptor subtype 1 (VR1) is a
ligand-gated channel that is activated by capsaicin, protons, and heat.
We have attempted to develop a dominant negative isoform by targeting
several mutations of VR1 at highly conserved amino acids or at residues
of potential functional importance and expressing the mutants in
Chinese hamster ovary cells. Mutation of three highly conserved amino
acid residues in the putative sixth transmembrane domain disrupts
activation of the VR1 receptor by both capsaicin and resiniferatoxin.
The vanilloid binding site in this mutant is intact, although the
affinity for [3H]resiniferatoxin (RTX) is
diminished by nearly 40-fold. Interestingly, this mutant retains a
significant but diminished response to protons, supporting the
existence of multiple gating mechanisms for different stimuli. The
mutant appears to function by interfering with the gating induced by
vanilloids rather than the expression level or permeability of the
receptor. In addition, this mutant was found to function as a strong
dominant negative mutation when coexpressed with wild-type VR1,
providing functional evidence that the VR1 receptor forms a multimeric
complex. Analysis of both current density and
[3H]RTX affinity in cells cotransfected with
different ratios of wild-type and mutant VR1 is consistent with
tetrameric stoichiometry for the native capsaicin receptor.
