Threonine370 (T370) is a major phosphorylation site of the µ-opioid receptor (MOP). The pT370-MOP antibody detects phosphorylation in response to high-efficacy agonists but to low-efficacy agonists. The pT370-MOP antibody also detects phosphorylation after PKC activation. T370 phosphorylation is a key regulator of MOP desensitization, β-arrestin recruitment and tolerance.

Figure 1. Agonist-induced Threonine370 phosphorylation of the µ-opioid receptor. Upper panel, HEK293 cells stably expressing the µ-opioid receptor (MOP) were either not exposed or exposed to 10 μM DAMGO ([D-Ala2,N-MePhe4, Gly-ol]-enkephalin) or 0.1 μM PMA (Phorbol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate) for 30 minutes. Cells were lysed and immunoblotted with the anti-pT370-MOP antibody (7TM0319B) at a dilution of 1:1000. Lower panel, blot was stripped and reprobed with the phosphorylation-independent anti-MOP antibody (7TM0319N-WB) at a dilution of 1:1000 to confirm equal loading of the gel.
Figure 2. Analysis of dose-dependent µ-opioid receptor phosphorylation using a panel of phosphosite-specific antibodies. Upper four panels, HEK293 cells stably expressing the µ-opioid receptor (MOP) were either not exposed or exposed to increasing concentrations of DAMGO ([D-Ala2,N-MePhe4, Gly-ol]-enkephalin) ranging from 1 nM to 1 μM for 30 minutes. Cells were lysed and immunoblotted with the anti-pT370-MOP antibody (7TM0319B) or anti-pS375-MOP antibody (7TM0319C) or anti-pT376-MOP antibody (7TM0319D) or anti-pT379-MOP antibody (7TM0319E) at a dilution of 1:1000. Lower panel, blot was stripped and reprobed with the phosphorylation-independent anti-MOP antibody (7TM0319N-WB) at a dilution of 1:1000 to confirm equal loading of the gel. Note, Serine375 is the primary site of phosphorylation.
Figure 3. Analysis of agonist-selective µ-opioid receptor phosphorylation using a panel of phosphosite-specific antibodies. Upper 4 panels, HEK293 cells stably expressing the µ-opioid receptor (MOP) were either not exposed or exposed to 10 µM morphine or 10 µM DAMGO ([D-Ala2,N-MePhe4, Gly-ol]-enkephalin) for 30 minutes. Cells were lysed and immunoblotted with the anti-pT370-MOP antibody (7TM0319B) or anti-pS375-MOP antibody (7TM0319C) or anti-pT376-MOP antibody (7TM0319D) or anti-pT379-MOP antibody (7TM0319E) at a dilution of 1:1000. Lower panel, blot was stripped and reprobed with the phosphorylation-independent anti-MOP antibody (7TM0319N-WB) at a dilution of 1:1000 to confirm equal loading of the gel. Note, DAMGO induces multisite phosphorylation. Morphine induces primarily the phosphorylation of Serine375.
Figure 4. Blocking of PMA-mediated Threonine370 phosphorylation of the µ-opioid receptor. Upper panel, HEK293 cells stably expressing the µ-opioid receptor (MOP) were either not exposed or exposed to 0.1 μM PMA (Phorbol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate) in presence or absence of kinase inhibitor Staurosporine (10 µM) for 30 minutes. Cells were lysed and immunoblotted with the anti-pT370-MOP antibody (7TM0319B) at a dilution of 1:1000. Lower panel, blot was stripped and reprobed with the phosphorylation-independent anti-MOP antibody (7TM0319N-WB) at a dilution of 1:1000 to confirm equal loading of the gel.
