HEK-293T cells transiently transfected with ovine (o) GH receptor (GHR) and prolactin receptor (PRLR) constructs respectively tagged downstream with cyan or yellow fluorescent proteins were used to study ovine placental lactogen (oPL)-stimulated heterodimerization by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) microscopy. The oPL-stimulated transient heterodimerization of GHR and PRLR had a peak occurring 2.5-3 min after oPL application, whereas oGH or oPRL had no effect at all. The results indicate none or only little dimerization occurring before the hormonal stimulation. The effect of heterodimerization was studied by comparing activation of Janus kinase 2, signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)1, STAT3, STAT5, and MAPK in Chinese hamster ovary cells stably transfected with chimeric genes encoding receptors consisting of cytosolic and transmembrane parts of oGHR and oPRLR, extracellular domains of human granulocyte and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) receptor alpha or beta, and cells transfected with the two forms (alpha or beta) of PRLR and GHR. Functionality of those proteins was verified by hGM-CSF-induced phosphorylation of both intracellular PRLR and GHR domains and hGM-CSF-induced heterodimerization was documented by chimeric receptor coimmunoprecipitation. Homodimerization or heterodimerization of PRLRs and GHRs had no differential effect on activation of STAT5 and MAPK. However, heterodimerization resulted in a prolonged phosphorylation of STAT1 and in particular STAT3, suggesting that the heterodimerization of alpha-oGHR and beta-oPRLR is able to transduce a signal, which is distinct from that occurring on homodimeric associations.

D010928 Placental Lactogen A polypeptide hormone of approximately 25 kDa that is produced by the SYNCYTIOTROPHOBLASTS of the PLACENTA, also known as chorionic somatomammotropin. It has both GROWTH HORMONE and PROLACTIN activities on growth, lactation, and luteal steroid production. In women, placental lactogen secretion begins soon after implantation and increases to 1 g or more a day in late pregnancy. Placental lactogen is also an insulin antagonist.

D011981 Receptors, Prolactin Labile proteins on or in prolactin-sensitive cells that bind prolactin initiating the cells' physiological response to that hormone. Mammary casein synthesis is one of the responses. The receptors are also found in placenta, liver, testes, kidneys, ovaries, and other organs and bind and respond to certain other hormones and their analogs and antagonists. This receptor is related to the growth hormone receptor. Prolactin Receptors,PRL Receptors,Prolactin Receptor,Receptors, PRL,Receptor, Prolactin
D011986 Receptors, Somatotropin Cell surface proteins that bind GROWTH HORMONE with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Activation of growth hormone receptors regulates amino acid transport through cell membranes, RNA translation to protein, DNA transcription, and protein and amino acid catabolism in many cell types. Many of these effects are mediated indirectly through stimulation of the release of somatomedins.
