The Ca2+ sensor calmodulin (CaM) regulates numerous proteins involved in G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling. CaM binds directly to some GPCRs, including the dopamine D-2 receptor. We confirmed that the third intracellular loop of the D-2 receptor is a direct contact point for CaM binding using coimmunoprecipitation and a polyHis pulldown assay, and we determined that the D-2-like receptor agonist 7-OH-DPAT increased the colocalization of the D-2 receptor and endogenous CaM in both 293 cells and in primary neostriatal cultures. The N-terminal three or four residues of D-2-IC3 were required for the binding of CaM; mutation of three of these residues in the full-length receptor (I210C/K211C/I212C) decreased the coprecipitation of the D-2 receptor and CaM and also significantly decreased D-2 receptor signaling, without altering the coupling of the receptor to G proteins. Taken together, these findings suggest that binding of CaM to the dopamine D-2 receptor enhances D-2 receptor signaling.
