Show abstract
The mu opioid receptor (MOR) is protected from opioid-induced trafficking to lysosomes and proteolytic downregulation by its ability to access the endosomal recycling pathway through its C-terminal recycling motif, LENL. MOR sorting towards the lysosome results in downregulation of opioid signaling while recycling of MOR to the plasma membrane preserves signaling function. However, the mechanisms by which LENL promotes MOR recycling are unknown, and this sequence does not match any known consensus recycling motif. Here we took a functional genomics approach with a comparative genome-wide screen design to identify genes which control opioid receptor expression and downregulation. We identified 146 hits including all three subunits of the endosomal Retromer complex. We show that the LENL motif in MOR is a novel Retromer recycling motif and that LENL is a necessary, sufficient, and conserved mechanism to give MOR access to the Retromer recycling pathway and protect MOR from agonist-induced downregulation to multiple clinically relevant opioids including fentanyl and methadone.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
