Endothelin-1 (ET-1) acts on two different G protein–coupled receptors, namely the endothelin A (ETA) and the endothelin B (ETB) receptors. Both receptor subtypes show differences in their tissue expression and signal transduction. In the present study, we compared the ability of ETA and ETB receptors to stimulate extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2). In addition, we analyzed the role of the extracellular N terminus for ERK1/2 activation, because the ETB receptor undergoes an agonist-dependent N-terminal proteolysis. ET-1 stimulation of HEK293 cells stably expressing the ETA receptor induced a monophasic, but sustained ERK1/2 activation, whereas the ETB receptor showed a biphasic ERK1/2 activation. A truncated mutant ETB receptor, lacking the proteolytically cleaved N terminus (Δ2-64 ETB) revealed only a monophasic and transient ERK1/2 activation. Treatment of HEK293 Δ2-64 ETB cell clones with ET-1 and a synthetic NT27-64 peptide, corresponding to the N-terminally cleaved fragment of the ETB receptor and ET-1, did not restore the biphasic activation of ERK1/2. A chimeric ETB receptor in which the N terminus was replaced by the N terminus of the ETA receptor elicited biphasic ERK1/2 activation. The presented data suggest that an intact N terminus of the ETB receptor is necessary for the second phase of ERK1/2 activation. However, it appears that the length of the N terminus rather than a specific sequence motif is required for biphasic ERK1/2 activation.
