The human CB1 cannabinoid receptor couples to Gi/oproteins and inhibits neuronal voltage-gated Ca2+channels. The role of the C-terminal tail of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor in Gi/oprotein coupling was examined using the superior cervical ganglion neuronal expression system. Deletion of the distal intracellular C-terminal tail (amino acids 418–472) slowed the kinetics and reduced the magnitude of Ca2+channel inhibition. Deletion of the entire intracellular C-terminal tail (amino acids 401–472) abolished Ca2+channel inhibition demonstrating the critical role of the proximal amino acids 401–417 of the C-terminal tail in G protein signaling. Expression of the C-terminal truncated receptors on the cell surface was examined using an N-terminal CB1 antibody. Both the C-terminal truncated receptors were expressed on the cell surface and were no different from wild type CB1 cannabinoid receptors. This study establishes that the proximal CB1 cannabinoid receptor intracellular C-terminal tail domain (amino acids 401–417) is critical for Gi/oprotein coupling and that the distal C-terminal tail domain (amino acids 418–472) profoundly modulates both the magnitude and kinetics of signal transduction. Thus, the C-terminal tail of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor has a wider role in G protein coupling than was previously thought.
