methodology for studying interactions of vitamin a membrane receptors and opsin protein with their ligands in generating the retinylidene protein

Dietary obtained Vitamin A/all-trans retinol/ROL is an important component playing a role in visual function1,2. The chromophore 11-cis retinal, a metabolite of dietary vitamin A, binds to the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) opsin to generate the retinylidene protein, rhodopsin, in the photoreceptors. When light falls on the eye, the configuration of rhodopsin undergoes a fundamental change via the conversion of its 11-cis-retinal component to the all-trans-retinal. This configuration change triggers a phototransduction cascade within the rod photoreceptors, converting light into an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the visual cortex in the brain via the optic nerve3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Decreased concentrations of serum and ocular ROL can impact retinylidene protein formation, which in turn causes opsin mislocalization, apoprotein opsin accumulation, night blindness, and photoreceptor OS degeneration, leading to Retinitis Pigmentosa or Leber Congenital Amaurosis, which can cause blindness3,10.
All-trans retinol is the fundamental transport form of dietary vitamin A and it is the source from which all functional retinoids and dietary vitamin A metabolites are derived. The liver serves as the primary organ for dietary vitamin A storage. Hepatic retinol is transported via the serum as its complex with retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4). RBP4, primarily expressed in the liver, forms a holo-complex with the retinol substrate and transthyretin (TTR), which enters the circulation11,12,13,14,15,16,17. The report of a cell surface receptor for RBP4 in the 1970s led to the hypothesis of membrane transport proteins aiding the transport of retinoids in and out of cells. The cell surface receptor for RBP4-bound retinol (RBP4-ROL) was identified as STimulated by Retinoic Acid 6 Retinol (STRA6) in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of the eye. STRA6 binds to the circulatory holo-RBP4 complex and shuttles the RBP4-bound retinol across the RPE to be utilized by photoreceptors18,19. Mutations in STRA6 can lead to a myriad of diseases and phenotypes associated with reduced ocular ROL concentrations. STRA6 mutations during development can lead to anophthalmia, microphthalmia, and other non-ocular symptoms that overlap with phenotypes associated with Matthew-Wood syndrome20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27. STRA6 is expressed in different organs and tissues, such as the RPE in the eye, but not in all tissues26,27. Although the primary site of retinoid storage is the liver, STRA6 is not expressed in the liver.
Alapatt and colleagues discovered that the Retinol Binding Protein 4 Receptor 2 (RBPR2) bound RBP4 with high affinity and was responsible for the uptake of RBP4-bound retinol in the liver, similar to STRA6 in the RPE28. RBPR2 has been reported to share structural homology with STRA629,30,31. RBP4 is proposed to bind to residues S294, Y295, and L296 on RBPR2, an amino acid-binding domain partially conserved between RBPR2 and STRA6 as well29,30,31. From these studies, vitamin A membrane receptors such as STRA6 and RBPR2, which contain one or more extracellular binding residues/domains, are proposed to interact with circulatory RBP4-ROL. Membrane receptors, therefore, play an important role in receptor binding to circulatory RBP4 for ROL internalization into target tissues, such as the liver and eye.
In the first part of this study, we utilized Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) to investigate the interaction of two vitamin A membrane receptors (RBPR2 and STRA6) with their physiological ligand RBP431. The binding affinities and association/dissociation kinetics of protein to ligand complexes can be measured in real time by using SPR. This methodology aimed to provide critical kinetic, structural, and biochemical information on RBP4-binding motifs in RBPR2 and STRA6, which are critical for understanding pathological states of vitamin A deficiency31,32. As mentioned above, circulatory ROL is internalized into the RPE via STRA6 to generate the chromophore 11-cis retinal, which binds to opsin to generate the retinylidene protein, rhodopsin, in photoreceptors33. We used spectrophotometry methodologies to quantify the GPCR-opsin and its ligand 11-cis retinal complex in murine retinal lysates, which is critical for understanding mechanisms of reduced retinylidene protein, rhodopsin, in Retinitis Pigmentosa or Leber Congenital Amaurosis ocular pathological states34. In general, these protocols can be applied to study in vitro the physiological consequences of mutant RBP4, STRA6, or RBPR2 in influencing systemic and ocular vitamin A homeostasis or the impact of mutant rhodopsin or retinoid cycle proteins on visual function35,36.

Distribution of dietary vitamin A/all-trans retinol (ROL) throughout the body is critical for maintaining retinoid function in peripheral tissues and generating the retinylidene protein for visual function. RBP4-ROL is the complex of ROL with retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), which is present in the blood. Two membrane receptors, Retinol Binding Protein 4 Receptor 2 (RBPR2) in the liver and STimulated by Retinoic Acid 6 Retinol (STRA6) in the eye, bind circulatory RBP4 and this mechanism is critical for internalizing ROL into cells. Establishing methods to investigate receptor-ligand kinetics is essential in understanding the physiological function of vitamin A receptors for retinoid homeostasis. Using Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) assays, we can analyze the binding affinities and kinetic parameters of vitamin A membrane receptors with its physiological ligand RBP4. 
These methodologies can reveal new structural and biochemical information of RBP4-binding motifs in RBPR2 and STRA6, which are critical for understanding pathological states of vitamin A deficiency. In the eye, internalized ROL is metabolized to 11-cis retinal, the visual chromophore that binds to opsin in photoreceptors to form the retinylidene protein, rhodopsin. The absorbance of light causes the cis-to-trans isomerization of 11-cis retinal, inducing conformational changes in rhodopsin and the subsequent activation of the phototransduction cascade. Decreased concentrations of serum and ocular ROL can impact retinylidene protein formation, which in turn can cause rhodopsin mislocalization, apoprotein opsin accumulation, night blindness, and photoreceptor outer segment degeneration, leading to Retinitis Pigmentosa or Leber Congenital Amaurosis. 
Therefore, spectrophotometric methodologies to quantify the G protein-coupled receptor opsin-11-cis retinal complex in the retina are critical for understanding mechanisms of retinal cell degeneration in the above-mentioned pathological states. With these comprehensive methodologies, investigators will be able to better assess dietary vitamin A supply in maintaining systemic and ocular retinoid homeostasis, which is critical for generating and maintaining retinylidene protein concentrations in photoreceptors, which is critical for sustaining visual function in humans.

Here, we describe two quantitative methods for studying the protein-ligand interactions of vitamin A membrane receptors and photoreceptor opsin with their respective physiological ligands.
