Abstract
The dynamic regulation of the cellular trafficking of human angiotensin (Ang) type 1 receptor is not well understood. Therefore, we investigated the cellular trafficking of –enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) (-EGFP) heterologously expressed in HEK293 cells by determining the change in donor lifetime (-EGFP) in the presence or absence of acceptor(s) using fluorescence lifetime imaging–fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) microscopy. The average lifetime of -EGFP in our donor-alone samples was . The basal state lifetime was shortened slightly in the presence of Rab5 or Rab7 labeled with Alexa 555, as the acceptor fluorophore. A Ang II treatment markedly shortened the lifetime of -EGFP in the presence of Rab5-Alexa 555 but was affected minimally in the presence of Rab7-Alexa 555 . A Ang II treatment further decreased the -EGFP lifetime in the presence of both Rab5- and Rab7-Alexa 555. Latrunculin A but not nocodazole pretreatment blocked the ability of Ang II to shorten the -EGFP lifetime. The occurrence of FRET between -EGFP (donor) and LAMP1-Alexa 555 (acceptor) with Ang II stimulation was impaired by photobleaching the acceptor. These studies demonstrate that Ang II-induced lysosomal degradation through its association with LAMP1 is regulated by Rab5/7 via mechanisms that are dependent on intact actin cytoskeletons.
