The carboxyl terminus of the type 1 angiotensin II receptor (AT(1)) plays an important role in receptor phosphorylation, desensitization, and internalization. The yeast two-hybrid system was employed to isolate proteins associated with the carboxyl terminal region of the AT(1A) receptor. In the present study, we report the isolation of a novel protein, ARAP1, which promotes recycling of AT(1A) to the plasma membrane in HEK-293 cells. ARAP1 cDNA encodes a 493-amino-acid protein and its mRNA is ubiquitously expressed in rat tissues. A complex of ARAP1 and AT(1A) was observed by immunoprecipitation and Western blotting in HEK-293 cells. In the presence of ARAP1, recycled AT(1A) showed a significant Ca(2+) release response to a second stimulation by Ang II 30 min after the first treatment. Immunocytochemical analysis revealed co-localization of recycled AT(1A) and ARAP1 in the plasma membrane 45 min after the initial exposure to Ang II. Taken together, these results indicate a role for ARAP1 in the recycling of the AT(1) receptor to the plasma membrane with presumable concomitant recovery of receptor signal functions.
