| Abstract | Both the cannabinoid CB1 receptor (CB1) and dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) are G protein-coupled receptors that are linked to inhibitory Gαi/o protein, whereby activation of the receptor leads to the inhibition of cAMP production. Moreover, previous findings have shown evidence of cross-talk between the dopamine and endocannabinoid systems. In this report, we confirm the interaction of CB1 and D2R with co-immunoprecipitation experiments using human embryonic kidney 293T (HEK-293T) cells co-expressing both receptors. We also generated GST and His-tagged fusion proteins of the D2R and CB1 and conducted affinity purification assays and in vitro binding experiments to show that the CB1–D2R complex can be formed by a direct protein–protein interaction. This interaction is mediated by the carboxyl terminus of the CB1 receptor and the third intracellular loop of the D2 receptor. Co-transfection of an inhibitory mini-gene resulted in decreased levels of the CB1–D2R complex. Using a cAMP biosensor, we show that activation of D2R or CB1 alone in HEK-293T cells co-expressing both receptors leads to an inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation. However, co-activation of both receptors resulted in a loss of this inhibition on cAMP accumulation. Our findings characterize the physical interaction between CB1 and D2R as well as demonstrate the potential functional outcome of the receptor complex. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
