Codon optimisation increases ADGRL4/ELTD1 expression but FL and CTF forms of ADGRL4/ELTD1 do not activate canonical GPCR signalling. (A) Representative Western blot of co FL ADGRL4/ELTD1 compared to wt FL ADGRL4/ELTD1. (B) ADGRL4/ELTD1 signalling construct design showing FL and CTF forms with different tagging strategies. (C) Gαq HTRF FRET assays in ADGRL4/ELTD1 transiently transfected HEK293T cells. Positive controls used were US28 for Gαq (p < 0.0001) and the CTF form of ADGRLG6/GPR126 for Gαs (p < 0.0001) (D) Gαq, Gα12/13, Gαs luciferase assays in ADGRL4/ELTD1 transiently transfected HEK293T cells. Positive controls used were PMA/ionomycin for Gαq (p < 0.0001), US28 for Gα12/13 (p < 0.0001) and the CTF form of GPR126 for Gαs (p < 0.0001). (Abbreviations: Pos CT = positive control; Neg CT = negative control; FL = full length; wt = wild type; co = codon optimised; CTF = C-terminal fragment; HA = hemagglutinin; GFP = green fluorescent protein).
