The beta (2)-adrenergic receptor and delta opioid receptor represent distinct G protein-coupled receptors that undergo agonist-induced endocytosis via clathrin-coated pits but differ significantly in their postendocytic sorting between recycling and degradative membrane pathways, respectively. Previous results indicate that a distal portion of the carboxyl-terminal cytoplasmic domain of the beta (2)-adrenergic receptor, which engages in PDZ domain-mediated protein interaction, is required for efficient recycling of receptors after agonist-induced endocytosis. Here we demonstrate that a four-residue sequence (DSLL) comprising the core of this protein interaction domain functions as a transplantable endocytic sorting signal that is sufficient to re-route endocytosed delta opioid receptor into a rapid recycling pathway, to inhibit proteolytic down-regulation of receptors, and to mediate receptor-autonomous sorting of mutant receptors from the wild type allele when co-expressed in the same cells. These observations define a transplantable signal mediating rapid recycling of a heterologous G protein-coupled receptor, and they suggest that rapid recycling of certain membrane proteins does not occur by bulk membrane flow but is instead mediated by a specific endocytic sorting mechanism.
