Abstract

The receptors for the brain and gastrointestinal peptide, cholecystokinin, can be classfied into CCKA and CCKB subtypes. Having recently cloned the rat CCKB receptor, we used it's cDNA to isolate the human CCKB receptor homologue from brain and stomach which encodes a 447 amino acid protein with 90% identity to both rat CCKB and canine gastrin receptors. Northern hybridization identifies transcripts from stomach, pancreas, brain and gallbladder. The CCKB receptor gene maps to chromosome 11. Expression of the receptor cDNA in COS-7 cells was characteristics of a CCKB receptor subtype pharmacology. These data confirm that we have cloned a novel gene for the human brain and stomach CCKB receptor.

      The vast majority of CCK receptors in the central nervous system are of the CCK2 type (Moran et al., 1986; Noble and Roques, 2006), while CCK1 receptors are restricted to some brain structures including the interpeduncular nucleus, area postrema, nucleus tractus solitarius, and hypothalamus (Honda et al., 1993; Innis and Snyder, 1980). CCK receptors are activated by the endogenous peptides CCK-8 (CCK, P06307), CCK-33 (CCK, P06307), CCK-58 (CCK, P06307) and gastrin (GAST, P01350) (Pisegna et al., 1992). Both CCK receptors are G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) coupled to the Gq/PLC pathway (Lee and Soltesz, 2010; Noble and Roques, 2006).

      None of these peptides is membrane active; i.e. they do not penetrate and destroy the membrane lipid bilayer (e.g. they do not show antibiotic, anticancer, antifungal or antiviral activity of enveloped viruses cf. [9]). Each of the three named skin peptides acts via the cholecystokinin 2 receptor (CCK2R) [6,25,39,42]. CCK2 receptors are part of a large family of G-protein coupled receptors, located on the exterior membrane of cells.

      The cDNA encoding the CCK2 receptor, a clone that encodes 453 amino acids, was first identified by Kopin and colleagues using a COS-7 cell line.112 This finding was confirmed in brain and gastric tissues.94,113,114 There is approximately a 50% sequence homology between the CCK1 and the CCK2 receptors.

      Among the mutated genes in this ccRCC patient, TUBB is potentially interesting, as it plays a role in structure maintenance (Hall et al., 1983); the truncating somatic mutation that we identified in six cancer cells could result in abnormal microtubule development and could conceivably contribute to the instability of cancer cells. The CCKBR gene, mutated in 12 cells, may also be of interest for future study, as it encodes a G protein-coupled receptor for gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK) (Pisegna et al., 1992). These regulatory peptides of the brain and gastrointestinal tract had a miss-spliced transcript variant, including an intron observed in cells from colorectal and pancreatic tumors (Caplin et al., 2000; Yu et al., 2006).
