Introduction
Detection of an odorant is initiated by activation of
a fraction of many hundreds of G protein-coupled
odorant receptors (ORs) expressed in olfactory sen-
sory neurons (OSNs) of the mammalian olfactory
cade, thereby bringing them into close proximity and
ensuring a rapid and specific signal transduction
[9,12].
PDZ domains are modular protein–protein interac-
tion domains, which are amongst the most abundant
protein interaction domains in organisms from bacteria
to mammals, and have been implicated in various pro-
cesses, including clustering, targeting and routing of
their binding partners [13–15]. PDZ target specificity is
usually dependent on the extreme carboxyl-terminal
amino acid sequence of the interacting protein; how-
ever, for some ligands, residues as far back as the )10
position may influence binding energy [16]. Peptide-
binding preferences of PDZ domains led to their
division into three discrete functional classes [16],
which may not be as strict as initially anticipated
because predictions of PDZ domain–peptide interac-
tions were recently shown to be evenly distributed
throughout selectivity space [17].
The multi-PDZ domain protein 1 (MUPP1) is com-
posed of thirteen PDZ domains, each diverse with
respect to its amino acid sequence. It was first identi-
fied through a yeast two-hybrid screening as an
interaction partner of the C-terminus of 5-hydroxy-
tryptamine receptor type 2C [18]. Subsequently, many
diverse interaction partners of MUPP1 have been
characterized, including G-protein coupled c-aminobu-
tyric acid receptor B (GABA

cilia layer (Fig. 1C). Double immunolabeling showed
co-localization with adenylyl cyclase 3, a central mole-
cule in the olfactory signal transduction cascade in the

Interaction of PDZ domains 1 + 2 of MUPP1 with
OR2AG1 in vitro
PDZ domain interactions have been well characterized
and modes of binding have been grouped into three
main classes of PDZ binding motifs, occurring at the
C-terminus of the interacting proteins [16]. We scanned
the human olfactory receptor repertoire for putative
binding motifs and discovered them in the extreme
C-termini of approximately 30% of human ORs, with
examples from each of the three classes being outlined
to date (7% Class I, 12% Class II and 10% Class III;
Fig. 2A). Intriguingly, this suggested that a subset of

3 + 4, etc.) (Fig. 2C). Interaction assays were then
carried out by incubating different pairs of PDZ
domains as in vitro translation products with OR2AG1
C-terminus GST fusion peptides. A specific binding of
PDZ domains 1 + 2 was determined via western blot-
ting, whereas, for example, in vitro translated PDZ
domains 3 + 4 did not have the ability to bind to the
C-terminus of OR2AG1 (Fig. 2D). None of the PDZ
domains could bind to GST alone. We then tested

tide-gated ion channel subunit A2, did not show any
interaction with the PDZ domains investigated.
We furthermore investigated the binding determi-
nants in the C-terminus of hOR2AG1 by spotting pep-
tides that correspond to mutated or shortened receptor
C-termini. Truncation of the last amino acids abol-
ished binding of the C-terminus of hOR2AG1 to PDZ

four amino acids H-S-T-L were mutated to H-A-T-A

Discussion
Until now, the involvement of PDZ domain scaffold-
ing proteins in olfactory signal transduction has gone
unstudied. It has previously been suggested that such
scaffolding networks or ‘olfactosomes’ may exist [9,10]
but, to date, no evidence for this phenomenon has
been outlined. In the present study, we have uncovered
a PDZ protein as a novel interaction partner of olfac-
tory receptors and have elucidated the molecular
details of this interaction.
The primary source of olfactory signaling and the
sites of expression of ORs are the ciliary structures of
the OSNs. Interestingly, we found MUPP1 to be pre-
dominantly expressed in the apical compartment of
OSNs and enriched in the cilia fraction of a prepara-
tion of whole murine olfactory epithelium. We hypoth-
esize that MUPP1, through its multivalent capabilities,
could play a key role as a central nucleator of olfac-
tory signal transduction. With its thirteen PDZ
domains, each diverse in its amino acid sequence,
MUPP1 holds great potential for organizing signal
other membrane proteins [17]. We also found interac-
tion of PDZ domains 1 + 2 with ORs showing no
classical PDZ binding motifs, indicating that the
understanding of the exact molecular rules of OR
PDZ interaction will require further analysis. Previous
work with other proteins has already indicated that it
is highly likely that a large number of PDZ domain
interactions will not fit into the confined class defini-
tions and that PDZ domains may have been opti-
mized across the proteome in order to minimize
cross-reactivity [17].
We observed that a reduction of MUPP1 resulted in
a significant increase in the duration of Ca
2+
responses
evoked by the activation of recombinantly expressed
PDZ proteins interact with olfactory receptors R. Dooley et al.

hOR2AG1. Similarly, over-expression of the OR-inter-
acting PDZ domains 1 + 2 of MUPP1 also resulted in
odorant-evoked Ca
2+
responses that persisted longer
than those in control cells. When over-expressed, PDZ
domains 1 + 2 may bind to the C-terminus of
hOR2AG1, thus having a blocking effect on the bind-
ing of the less abundant endogenous MUPP1. A trun-
cated receptor no longer containing a PDZ motif in
the C-terminus showed the same effect of prolonged
signal duration. Thus, all of the experiments revealed
signal of
ORs in the cilia of the sensory neurons, MUPP1 could
have a strong influence on the olfactory signaling path-
way. An interesting interaction partner of MUPP1 out-
lined to date is CamKII, which is known to play an
important role in olfactory adaptation [20]. By phos-
phorylation of adenylyl cyclase 3 in OSNs, CamKII
provides an important mechanism for the attenuation
of odorant-stimulated cAMP increases [31]. Alterna-
tively, because different pathways, such as those
involving phosphoinositide 3-kinase [32], are ultimately
engaged after OR stimulation, MUPP1 may control
OR activity by acting as a scaffold to link different
signaling pathways.
In conclusion, we have outlined a novel aspect of the
olfactory signal transduction cascade by uncovering a
previously unknown interaction partner of olfactory
receptors and a putative regulator of signaling
processes in OSNs. It is tempting to speculate that a
so-called ‘olfactosome’ exists in the cilia of olfactory
sensory neurons, organizing the vast array of signaling
molecules and ensuring the specificity of signaling.
How exactly MUPP1 could carry out such an impor-
tant task remains to be elucidated, although the answer
may lie in the remaining and as yet unidentified interac-
tion partners of MUPP1 in the olfactory sensory cell.

(Molecular Probes, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and horseradish
peroxidase (HRP) coupled goat anti-mouse and goat anti-
rabbit IgGs (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA).
Cell culture and transfection
All tissue culture media and related reagents were purchased
from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA, USA). Hana3A cells [23]
(provided by H. Matsunami, Duke University Medical Cen-
ter, Durham, NC, USA), were maintained in DMEM plus
10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin ⁄ streptomycin, at
37 °C and 5% CO
2
, and transfections were carried out using
a standard calcium phosphate precipitation technique.
MUPP1-GFP and OR plasmid DNAs were transfected in a
ratio of 1 : 10, with approximately 2 lg of total DNA per
dish. All images were acquired using a Zeiss LSM 510 Meta
confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany).
Hana3A cells were stably transfected with pCMV ⁄ Bsd plas-
a mixture of 100 different odorant molecules (Henkel
KGaA, Du
¨
sseldorf, Germany) for specified amounts of
time. Control mice were housed in a separate room free
from artificial odorant stimulation. All mice were held in
standard cages at room temperature. Each cage was sur-
rounded by a Perspex chamber with ventilation suction to
maintain a constant air-flow.
GST fusion peptides and in vitro interaction
assays
The C-terminal region of OR2AG1 was found to lie between
amino acids 293 and 316, as predicted by tmhmm, a trans-
membrane helices prediction program based on a hidden
Markov model [34]. OR2AG1 C-terminus GST fusion pro-
teins and mutant construct thereof (trunc8-GST) were pro-
duced in Escherichia coli XL1 blue and purified on
glutathione sepharose beads (Becton-Dickinson Biosciences,
Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). PDZ domains were in vitro trans-
lated using the TNTÒT3 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate Sys-
tem (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). Interaction assays were
carried out by incubating 10 lLofin vitro translation prod-
uct with 50 lL of GST fusion peptide bead slurry for 2 h at
4 °C with gentle shaking. After a series of washing steps using
Buffer S (20 mm Hepes, 100 mm KCl, 0.5 mm EDTA, 1 mm
dithiothreitol, pH 7.9), specific interactions were assessed via
immunoblotting. GST alone was used as a negative control.
Peptide microarray
CelluSpotsÔ Peptide Arrays (Intavis AG, Cologne,
Germany) were blocked for 2 h at room temperature with
for heterologously expressed ORs [23,35,36], employing a
specialized microcapillary application system. The rise time
was calculated as the time in seconds from 10% of peak
response, starting from the average baseline value, to 90%
of peak amplitude. The response decay duration was calcu-
lated as the time in seconds between 90% and 10% of the
maximum amplitude.
