Neurite outgrowth is a complex differentiation process regulated by external and/or internal mechanisms. Among external mechanisms, G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been implicated in this process, but the pathways involved are not fully understood. L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA) is considered to be inert by itself, and to relieve Parkinson's disease through its conversion to dopamine. We have proposed thatl-DOPA acts as a neurotransmitter. GPR143, the gene product of ocular albinism 1 (OA1), was identified as a receptor forl-DOPA. OA1 is an X-linked disorder characterized by all typical visual anomalies associated with hypopigmentation and optic misrouting, resulting in severe reduction of visual acuity. However, the molecular basis for this phenotype remains unknown. To study the function of GPR143, we investigated the phenotypic effect of overexpression of GPR143 in pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells treated with nerve growth factor. Overexpression of mouse GPR143 inhibited neurite outgrowth, and the effect was mitigated byl-DOPA cyclohexylester, an antagonist forl-DOPA. Furthermore, knockdown of G-protein Gα13 attenuated mouse GPR143 induced inhibition of neurite outgrowth. Human wild-type (wt) GPR143 also inhibited neurite outgrowth, but its mutants did not mimic the effect ofwtGPR143. Our results provide a mechanism for axon guidance phenotype inocular albinism 1.
