The serotonin1Areceptor is an important member of the G-protein coupled receptor family, and is involved in the generation and modulation of a variety of cognitive, behavioral, and developmental functions. We have monitored the ligand binding of the human serotonin1Areceptor stably expressed in CHO cells (termed CHO-5-HT1AR) following treatment with sphingomyelinase (SMase), an enzyme that specifically catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin into ceramide and phosphorylcholine. Our results show, for the first time, that the specific ligand binding activity of the serotonin1Areceptor in membranes isolated from CHO-5-HT1AR cells is increased upon sphingomyelinase treatment. Saturation binding analysis reveals increase in binding affinity of the receptor under these conditions. This is accompanied by a reduction in membrane order, as monitored by fluorescence anisotropy of the membrane probe 1-[4-(trimethylammonio)phenyl]-6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (TMA-DPH) in intact cells. These results represent the first report on the effect of sphingomyelinase treatment on the ligand binding activity of this important neurotransmitter receptor.
