The binding of CC chemokines to CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) triggers cellular responses that, generally, are only transient in nature. To explore the potential role of G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) in the regulation of CCR5, we performed phosphorylation experiments in a rat basophilic leukemia cell line stably expressing CCR5. The ability of various CCR5 ligands to stimulate calcium mobilization in these cells correlated with their ability to induce receptor phosphorylation, desensitization, internalization, and GRK association with the receptor. Aminooxypentane-RANTES, a potent inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus infection, has been proposed to act through enhanced CCR5 internalization and inhibition of receptor recycling. Aminooxypentane-RANTES profoundly induced CCR5 phosphorylation, but had no effect on CCR1. In permeabilized rat basophilic leukemia CCR5 cells, monoclonal antibodies with specificity for GRK2/3 inhibited RANTES-induced receptor phosphorylation. Consistent with a role for these kinases in CCR5 regulation, 1-2 x 10(5) copies of GRK2 or GRK3 were found to be expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes. Phosphoamino acid analysis revealed that RANTES-induced CCR5 phosphorylation selectively occurs on serine residues. Our findings with receptor mutants indicate that serine residues at positions 336, 337, 342, and 349 represent GRK phosphorylation sites on CCR5. This study demonstrates that chemokines differ in their ability to induce CCR5 phosphorylation and desensitization and provides a molecular mechanism for the agonist-induced attenuation of CCR5 signaling. 相似文献

One of the major functions of the N-formyl peptide receptor (FPR) is to mediate leukocyte degranulation. Phosphorylation of the C-terminal domain of the FPR is required for receptor internalization and desensitization. Although arrestins mediate phosphorylation-dependent desensitization, internalization, and initiation of novel signaling cascades for a number of G protein-coupled receptors, their roles in FPR regulation and signaling remain unclear. CXCR1-mediated degranulation of RBL-2H3 cells is promoted by arrestin binding. To determine whether receptor phosphorylation or arrestin binding is required to promote FPR-mediated degranulation, we used RBL-2H3 cells stably transfected with either the wild-type FPR or a mutant form, DeltaST, which is incapable of undergoing ligand-stimulated phosphorylation. We observed that stimulation of wild-type FPR resulted in very low levels of degranulation compared with that mediated by cross-linking of the Fc(epsilon)RI receptor. Stimulation of the DeltaST mutant, however, resulted in levels of degranulation comparable to those of the Fc(epsilon)RI receptor, demonstrating that neither receptor phosphorylation nor arrestin binding was necessary to initiate FPR-mediated degranulation. Degranulation initiated by the DeltaST mutant was proportional to the level of active cell surface receptor, suggesting that either receptor internalization or desensitization may be responsible for terminating degranulation of the wild-type FPR. To distinguish between these possibilities, we used a partially phosphorylation-deficient mutant of the FPR that can undergo internalization, but not desensitization. Degranulation by this mutant FPR was indistinguishable from that of the DeltaST mutant, indicating that FPR phosphorylation or binding of arrestin but not internalization terminates the degranulation response. 相似文献

The time-course of cyclic AMP signaling is critical for leukemia U-937 cell differentiation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The regulation of the cAMP signaling is intimately involved in several cellular processes, including cell differentiation. Here, we provide strong evidence supporting that the time-course of cAMP signal is critical for leukemia U-937 cell differentiation. Three stimulating-cAMP agents were used to analyze the correlation between cAMP time-course and cell differentiation. All three agents denoted similar cAMP maximal responses in dose-response experiments. The kinetic of desensitization showed differential characteristics, while H2 receptor desensitized homologously without affecting PGE2 or forskolin effect, PGE2 response showed mixed desensitization characterized by a homologous initial phase followed by a heterologous phase. Regarding forskolin, long-term stimuli attenuated PGE2 and H2 agonist response without affecting adenylyl cyclase activity. In the absence of phosphodiesterase inhibitors, the three agents induced similar maximal cAMP levels after 5 min, but only that induced by the H2 agonist returned to basal levels. Consistent with this observation, H2 agonist was not able to induce U-937 cell maturation in contrast to PGE2 and forskolin, supporting the importance of time-course signaling in the determination of cell behavior. 相似文献

The role of mu opioid receptor desensitization and endocytosis in morphine tolerance and dependence 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Following activation, most G protein coupled receptors undergo regulation by a cascade of events that promote receptor desensitization and endocytosis. Following endocytosis, receptors can then be recycled to the plasma membrane, retained in an intracellular compartment, or targeted for degradation. For receptors that are recycled, like the mu opioid receptor (MOR), endocytosis serves as the first step toward resensitizing receptors. For receptors that are degraded, endocytosis serves as the first step toward receptor downregulation. Thus, for receptors like the MOR, the desensitization-endocytosis-resensitization cycle serves as a rapid and dynamic means to titrate signaling through the receptor. However, not all agonist ligands at the MOR promote the same degree of receptor desensitization and endocytosis. For example, the endogenous peptide ligands at the MOR induce rapid desensitization, endocytosis, and recycling. By contrast, morphine induces only weak or partial desensitization and little to no endocytosis. As a consequence, signal transduction promoted by morphine is less dynamic than that induced by endogenous ligands as well as other opioid agonists that promote endocytosis. The resulting imbalance of desensitization-endocytosis-resensitization has at least two consequences: (1) in cell types where morphine induces desensitization but not endocytosis and/or resensitization, desensitization is protracted; (2) in cell types where morphine induces neither desensitization nor endocytosis, prolonged signaling through the receptor leads to multiple cellular adaptations downstream of receptor-G protein coupling. Both protracted desensitization and adaptive cellular changes probably contribute to the pronounced in vivo tolerance and dependence that occur with chronic morphine treatment. As a consequence, facilitating receptor endocytosis, using either genetic or pharmacological approaches, can restore the balance of signaling through the receptor and affect the development of tolerance and dependence. 相似文献

When co-expressed with the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate biosensor eGFP-PH(PLC delta), G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) can suppress M1 muscarinic acetylcholine (mACh) receptor-mediated phospholipase C signaling in hippocampal neurons through a phosphorylation-independent mechanism, most likely involving the direct binding of the RGS homology domain of GRK2 to G alpha(q/11). To define the importance of this mechanism in comparison with classical, phosphorylation-dependent receptor regulation by GRKs, we have examined M1 mACh receptor signaling in hippocampal neurons following depletion of GRK2 and also in the presence of non-G alpha(q/11)-binding GRK2 mutants. Depletion of neuronal GRK2 using an antisense strategy almost completely inhibited M1 mACh receptor desensitization without enhancing acute agonist-stimulated phospholipase C activity. By stimulating neurons with a submaximal agonist concentration before (R1) and after (R2) a period of exposure to a maximal agonist concentration, an index (R2/R1) of agonist-induced desensitization of signaling could be obtained. Co-transfection of neurons with either a non-G alpha(q/11)-binding (D110A) GRK2 mutant or the catalytically inactive (D110A,K220R)GRK2 did not suppress acute M1 mACh receptor-stimulated inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate production. However, using the desensitization (R2/R1) protocol, it could be shown that expression of (D110A)GRK2 enhanced, whereas (D110A,K220R)GRK2 inhibited, agonist-induced M1 mACh receptor desensitization. In Chinese hamster ovary cells, the loss of G alpha(q/11) binding did not affect the ability of the (D110A)GRK2 mutant to phosphorylate M1 mACh receptors, whereas expression of (D110A,K220R)GRK2 had no effect on receptor phosphorylation. These data indicate that in hippocampal neurons endogenous GRK2 is a key regulator of M1 mACh receptor signaling and that the regulatory process involves both phosphorylation-dependent and -independent mechanisms. 相似文献

The RING finger of c-Cbl mediates desensitization of the epidermal growth factor receptor. 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19

Ligand-induced activation of surface receptors, including the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), is followed by a desensitization process involving endocytosis and receptor degradation. c-Cbl, a tyrosine phosphorylation substrate shared by several signaling pathways, accelerates desensitization by recruiting EGFR and increasing receptor polyubiquitination. Here we demonstrate that the RING type zinc finger of c-Cbl is essential for ubiquitination and subsequent desensitization of EGFR. Mutagenesis of a single cysteine residue impaired the ability of c-Cbl to enhance both down-regulation and ubiquitination of EGFR in living cells, although the mutant retained binding to the activated receptor. Consequently, the mutant form of c-Cbl acquired a dominant inhibitory function and lost the ability to inhibit signaling downstream to EGFR. In vitro reconstitution of EGFR ubiquitination implies that the RING finger plays an essential direct role in ubiquitin ligation. Our results attribute to the RING finger of c-Cbl a causative role in endocytic sorting of EGFR and desensitization of signal transduction. 相似文献

Agonist-stimulatedphosphorylation of guanine nucleotide-binding protein (Gprotein)-coupled receptors has been recognized as an importantmechanism for desensitization by interfering with coupling of theactivated receptor with its G protein. We recently described a mutantof the CCK receptor that modified two of five key sites ofphosphorylation (S260,264A) and eliminated agonist-stimulated receptorphosphorylation, despite normal ligand binding and signaling (20). As expected, this nonphosphorylated mutant hadimpaired rapid desensitization but was ultimately able to bedesensitized by normal receptor internalization. Here we demonstratethat this mutant receptor is also defective in resensitization, withabnormal recycling to the cell surface. To explore this, anotherreceptor mutant was prepared, replacing the same serines withaspartates to mimic the charge of serine-phosphate (S260,264D). Thismutant was expressed in a Chinese hamster ovary cell line and shown to bind CCK normally. It had accelerated kinetics of signaling and desensitization and was phosphorylated in response to agonist occupation, with all other normal sites of phosphorylation modified. Itwas internalized like wild-type receptors and was resensitized andtrafficked normally. This provides evidence for an additional importantfunction for phosphorylation of G protein-coupled receptors. Phosphorylation may induce a conformational change in the receptor toexpose other potential sites of phosphorylation and to expose domainsinvolved in the targeting and trafficking of endosomes. Thehierarchical phosphorylation of these sites may play a key role inreceptor regulation. 相似文献

Termination of protease-activated receptor-1 signaling by beta-arrestins is independent of receptor phosphorylation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1), a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) for thrombin, is the prototypic member of a family of protease-activated receptors. PAR1 is irreversibly proteolytically activated; thus, the magnitude and duration of thrombin cellular responses are determined primarily by mechanisms responsible for termination of receptor signaling. Both phosphorylation and beta-arrestins contribute to rapid desensitization of PAR1 signaling. However, the relative contribution of each of these pathways to the termination of PAR1 signaling is not known. Co-expression of PAR1 with beta-arrestin 1 (betaarr1) in COS-7 cells resulted in a marked inhibition of PAR1 signaling, whereas beta-arrestin 2 (betaarr2) was essentially inactive. Strikingly, signaling by a PAR1 cytoplasmic tail mutant defective in agonist-induced phosphorylation was also attenuated more effectively by betaarr1 compared with betaarr2. In contrast, both beta-arrestin isoforms were equally effective at desensitizing the substance P receptor, a classic reversibly activated GPCR. PAR1 coimmunoprecipitated betaarr1 in an agonist-dependent manner, whereas betaarr2 association was virtually undetectable. Remarkably, betaarr1 also interacted with phosphorylation defective PAR1 mutant, whereas betaarr2 did not. Moreover, constitutively active beta-arrestin mutants, betaarr1 R169E and betaarr2 R170E, that bind to activated receptor independent of phosphorylation failed to enhance either wild type or mutant PAR1 desensitization compared with normal versions of these proteins. In contrast, beta-arrestin mutants displayed enhanced activity at desensitizing the serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine(2A) receptor. Taken together, these results suggest that, in addition to PAR1 cytoplasmic tail phosphorylation itself, beta-arrestin binding independent of phosphorylation promotes desensitization of PAR1 signaling. These findings reveal a new level of complexity in the regulation of protease-activated GPCR signaling. 相似文献

Despite important roles in myocardial hypertrophy and benign prostatic hyperplasia, little is known about acute effects of agonist stimulation on alpha(1a)-adrenergic receptor (alpha(1a)AR) signaling and function. Regulatory mechanisms are likely complex since 12 distinct human alpha(1a)AR carboxyl-terminal splice variants have been isolated. After determining the predominance of the alpha(1a-1)AR isoform in human heart and prostate, we stably expressed an epitope-tagged alpha(1a-1)AR cDNA in rat-1 fibroblasts and subsequently examined regulation of signaling, phosphorylation, and internalization of the receptor. Human alpha(1a)AR-mediated inositol phosphate signaling is acutely desensitized in response to both agonist and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) exposure. Concurrent with desensitization, alpha(1a)ARs in (32)P(i)-labeled cells are rapidly phosphorylated in response to both NE and PMA stimulation. Despite the ability of PKC to desensitize alpha(1a)ARs when directly activated with PMA, inhibitors of PKC have no effect on agonist-mediated desensitization. In contrast, involvement of GRK kinases is suggested by the ability of GRK2 to desensitize alpha(1a)ARs. Internalization of cell surface alpha(1a)ARs also occurs in response to agonist stimulation (but not PKC activation), but is initiated more slowly than receptor desensitization. Significantly, deletion of the alpha(1a)AR carboxyl terminus has no effect on receptor internalization or either agonist-induced or GRK-mediated receptor desensitization. Because mechanisms underlying acute agonist-mediated regulation of human alpha(1a)ARs are primarily independent of the carboxyl terminus, they may be common to all functional alpha(1a)AR isoforms. 相似文献

Neutrophils express different chemoattractant receptors of importance for guiding the cells from the blood stream to sites of inflammation. These receptors communicate with one another, a cross talk manifested as hierarchical, heterologous receptor desensitization. We describe a new receptor cross talk mechanism, by which desensitized formyl peptide receptors (FPRdes) can be reactivated. FPR desensitization is induced through binding of specific FPR agonists and is reached after a short period of active signaling. The mechanism that transfers the receptor to a non-signaling desensitized state is not known, and a signaling pathway has so far not been described, that transfers FPRdes back to an active signaling state. The reactivation signal was generated by PAF stimulation of its receptor (PAFR) and the cross talk was uni-directional. LatrunculinA, an inhibitor of actin polymerization, induced a similar reactivation of FPRdes as PAF while the phosphatase inhibitor CalyculinA inhibited reactivation, suggesting a role for the actin cytoskeleton in receptor desensitization and reactivation. The activated PAFR could, however, reactivate FPRdes also when the cytoskeleton was disrupted prior to activation. The receptor cross talk model presented prophesies that the contact on the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane that blocks signaling between the G-protein and the FPR is not a point of no return; the receptor cross-talk from the PAFRs to the FPRdes initiates an actin-independent signaling pathway that turns desensitized receptors back to a signaling state. This represents a novel mechanism for amplification of neutrophil production of reactive oxygen species. 相似文献

G protein-coupled receptors are the largest family of cell surface receptors regulating multiple cellular processes. β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) is a prototypical member of GPCR family and has been one of the most well studied receptors in determining regulation of receptor function. Agonist activation of βAR leads to conformational change resulting in coupling to G protein generating cAMP as secondary messenger. The activated βAR is phosphorylated resulting in binding of β-arrestin that physically interdicts further G protein coupling leading to receptor desensitization. The phosphorylated βAR is internalized and undergoes resensitization by dephosphorylation mediated by protein phosphatase 2A in the early endosomes. Although desensitization and resensitization are two sides of the same coin maintaining the homeostatic functioning of the receptor, significant interest has revolved around understanding mechanisms of receptor desensitization while little is known about resensitization. In our current review we provide an overview on regulation of βAR function with a special emphasis on receptor resensitization and its functional relevance in the context of fine tuning receptor signaling. 相似文献

Independent mechanisms account for the regulation by protein kinase C of the epidermal growth factor receptor affinity and tyrosine-protein kinase activity 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13

The epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor is a substrate for phosphorylation by the calcium- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) at Thr654. The hypothesis that this phosphorylation is causally related to the regulation of the functional properties of the EGF receptor was tested by substitution of Thr654 with an alanine residue. Activation of protein kinase C using phorbol ester caused a decrease in the high affinity binding of EGF to Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing wild-type [Thr654]EGF receptors. Similar results were obtained with cells expressing mutated [Ala654]EGF receptors. The regulation of the protein kinase activity of the EGF receptor by protein kinase C was examined using a synthetic peptide substrate for tyrosine phosphorylation. Protein kinase C caused a Ca2+-dependent decrease in the tyrosine-protein kinase activity of the wild-type [Thr654]EGF receptor. In contrast, no inhibition of the tyrosine-protein kinase activity of the mutated [Ala654]EGF receptor caused by protein kinase C was detected. In further experiments, the desensitization of EGF action caused by the activation of protein kinase C was examined by investigating the regulation of the transferrin receptor by EGF. Phorbol ester was observed to cause the desensitization of signaling by the wild-type [Thr654] and mutated [Ala654]EGF receptors. These data are consistent with a role for the phosphorylation of EGF receptor Thr654 in the regulation of the receptor tyrosine-protein kinase activity. However, the inhibition of the high affinity binding of EGF to cell-surface receptors caused by protein kinase C does not require Thr654. It is concluded that independent mechanisms account for the regulation by protein kinase C of the EGF receptor affinity and tyrosine-protein kinase activity. 相似文献

The binding of atrial natriuretic peptide and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) to the guanylyl cyclase-linked natriuretic peptide receptors A and B (NPR-A and -B), respectively, stimulates increases in intracellular cGMP concentrations. The vasoactive peptides vasopressin, angiotensin II, and endothelin inhibit natriuretic peptide-dependent cGMP elevations by activating protein kinase C (PKC). Recently, we identified six in vivo phosphorylation sites for NPR-A and five sites for NPR-B and demonstrated that the phosphorylation of these sites is required for ligand-dependent receptor activation. Here, we show that phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, a direct activator of PKC, causes the dephosphorylation and desensitization of NPR-B. In contrast to the CNP-dependent desensitization process, which results in coordinate dephosphorylation of all five sites in the receptor, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate treatment causes the dephosphorylation of only one site, which we have identified as Ser(523). The conversion of this residue to alanine or glutamate did not reduce the amount of mature receptor protein as indicated by detergent-dependent guanylyl cyclase activities or Western blot analysis but completely blocked the ability of PKC to induce the dephosphorylation and desensitization of NPR-B. Thus, in contrast to previous reports suggesting that PKC directly phosphorylates and inhibits guanylyl cyclase-linked natriuretic peptide receptors, we show that PKC-dependent dephosphorylation of NPR-B at Ser(523) provides a possible molecular explanation for how pressor hormones inhibit CNP signaling. 相似文献

The metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) exhibits a rapid loss of receptor responsiveness to prolonged or repeated agonist exposure. This receptor desensitization has been seen in a variety of native and recombinant systems, and is thought to result from receptor-mediated, protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent phosphorylation of the receptor, uncoupling it from the G protein in a negative feedback regulation. We have investigated the rapid PKC-mediated desensitization of mGluR5 in cortical cultured astrocytes by measuring downstream signals from activation of mGluR5. These include activation of phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis, intracellular calcium transients, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 (ERK2) phosphorylation. We present evidence that PKC plays an important role in rapid desensitization of PI hydrolysis and calcium signaling, but not in ERK2 phosphorylation. This differential regulation of mGluR5-mediated responses suggests divergent signaling and regulatory pathways which may be important mechanisms for dynamic integration of signal cascades. 相似文献

Fibroblasts cultured in mechanically stressed collagen matrices proliferate, whereas cells in floating collagen matrices become quiescent. Previous research indicated that one factor contributing to cell quiescence in floating matrices was reduced receptor autophosphorylation in response to PDGF stimulation (i.e., PDGF receptor desensitization). To learn more about the mechanism of PDGF receptor desensitization, we analyzed changes in PDGF receptor autophosphorylation and receptor kinase activity after stressed collagen matrices were switched to floating conditions, which results in rapid cell contraction and dissipation of mechanical stress. PDGF receptor desensitization occurred during contraction stimulated by serum but not in the absence of serum, and desensitization was prevented by inhibitors of contraction but not by inhibitors of the contraction-activated cyclic AMP signaling pathway. Receptor desensitization resulted from decreased receptor kinase activity rather than from elevated protein tyrosine phosphatase activity, and only receptors unoccupied at the time of contraction were affected. After contraction, radiolabeled PDGF binding to the cells was decreased, which suggested that receptor desensitization resulted from a contraction-dependent change in receptor availability or affinity. 相似文献

The ability of HIV-1 gp120 to inhibit chemokine signaling prompted us to determine whether signaling through CD4 by a natural ligand, IL-16, could alter cellular responsiveness to chemokine stimulation. These studies demonstrate that IL-16/CD4 signaling in T lymphocytes results in a selective loss of macrophage-inflammatory protein (MIP)-1 beta/CCR5-induced chemotaxis. There was no effect on monocyte chemoattractant protein-2/CCR1, -2, or -3-induced chemotaxis. Desensitization of CCR5 by IL-16 required at least 10 min of pretreatment; no modulation of CCR5 expression was observed, nor was MIP-1 beta binding to CCR5 altered. Using murine T cell hybridomas transfected to express native or mutated forms of CD4, it was determined that IL-16/CD4 induces a p56lck-dependent signal that results in desensitization of CCR5. The desensitization process is reciprocal and again selective, as prior CCR5 stimulation, but not CCR1, -2, or -3 stimulation, completely inhibits IL-16/CD4-induced T cell migration. Of interest, while p56lck enzymatic activity is not required for IL-16-induced migration, it was required for desensitization of CCR5. These studies indicate the existence of reciprocal receptor cross-desensitization between CD4 and CCR5 induced by two proinflammatory cytokines and suggest a selective relationship between the two receptors. 相似文献

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) belongs to the EGFR family of receptor tyrosine kinases that comprises four members. As opposed to the other family members, HER2 does not require ligand binding for activation. Hence, HER2 molecules can undergo spontaneous dimerization, autophosphorylation and activation of downstream signaling pathways especially under conditions of overexpression, a commonly encountered phenomenon in breast cancer. In this study, we sought to investigate the mechanism by which HER2 musters signaling and transformation potency. We show that HER2 overexpression per se induces a significant increase in basal mitogenic and cell survival signaling, which was augmented by EGF stimulation. Inhibition of the normally expressed EGFR significantly suppressed the ability of overexpressed HER2 to induce enhanced signaling and cell transformation, suggesting that HER2 requires the EGFR and potentially other members to maximize its signaling and transformation potency. The novel observation revealed by prolonged EGF stimulation studies was the biphasic signaling pattern in the presence of HER2 overexpression that suggested the induction of a short-circuited mechanism, permitting sustained signaling. Our results further show that the short-circuited signaling was due to the re-shuttling of internalized receptor molecules to the Rab11-positive recycling endosomes, while suppressing channeling to the LAMP1-positive lysosome-targeting endosomes. Therefore, HER2's oncogenicity is dependent, not only on its constitutively active nature, but also on its ability to muster collaborative signaling from family members through modulation of ligand-induced receptor regulation. 相似文献

The small family of G-protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) regulate cell signaling by phosphorylating heptahelical receptors, thereby promoting receptor interaction with beta-arrestins. This switches a receptor from G-protein activation to G-protein desensitization, receptor internalization, and beta-arrestin-dependent signal activation. However, the specificity of GRKs for recruiting beta-arrestins to specific receptors has not been elucidated. Here we use the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR), the archetypal nonvisual heptahelical receptor, as a model to test functional GRK specificity. We monitor endogenous GRK activity with a fluorescence resonance energy transfer assay in live cells by measuring kinetics of the interaction between the beta(2)AR and beta-arrestins. We show that beta(2)AR phosphorylation is required for high affinity beta-arrestin binding, and we use small interfering RNA silencing to show that HEK-293 and U2-OS cells use different subsets of their expressed GRKs to promote beta-arrestin recruitment, with significant GRK redundancy evident in both cell types. Surprisingly, the GRK specificity for beta-arrestin recruitment does not correlate with that for bulk receptor phosphorylation, indicating that beta-arrestin recruitment is specific for a subset of receptor phosphorylations on specific sites. Moreover, multiple members of the GRK family are able to phosphorylate the beta(2)AR and induce beta-arrestin recruitment, with their relative contributions largely determined by their relative expression levels. Because GRK isoforms vary in their regulation, this partially redundant system ensures beta-arrestin recruitment while providing the opportunity for tissue-specific regulation of the rate of beta-arrestin recruitment. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) by GPCR kinases (GRKs) is considered to play a critical role in the desensitization of responses mediated by these receptors. To explore the role of GRK2 in A2 adenosine receptor desensitization, we attempted to reduce specifically GRK2 expression in NG108-15 cells by stable transfection with an antisense rat GRK2 cDNA sequence. This yielded up to a 69% loss of GRK2 when compared with plasmid-transfected control cells, which correlated with a reduction in kinase activity when measured by the ability of cell lysates to promote light-dependent phosphorylation of rhodopsin. Levels of GRK3 were the same in antisense and plasmid-transfected controls. On addition of the A2 adenosine receptor agonist 5'-(N-ethylcarboxamido)adenosine, cyclic AMP accumulation was greater in GRK2 antisense cells as compared with plasmid control cells. In contrast, cyclic AMP accumulation via agonist stimulation of either IP-prostanoid or secretin receptors or by addition of forskolin was not significantly different among all clones examined. The increase in A2 adenosine receptor response could not be explained by changes in A2A adenosine receptor expression, as assessed by ligand binding experiments with the radioligand 2-3H-labelled 4-[2-[7-amino-2-(2-furyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-a][1,3,5]triazin-5-++ +ylamino]ethyl]phenol ([3H]ZM241385). These data show for the first time a direct correlation between expression of GRK2 and desensitization of natively expressed A2 adenosine receptors in intact cells, suggesting that GRK2 plays a major role in the regulation of these receptors.
