In this study, we have examined the potential roles of GRK3 and -6 in the phosphorylation and desensitization of M3 mACh receptors endogenously expressed in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. Previous studies have established that not only the M2 and M4adenylyl cyclase-linked, but also the Gαq/11PLC-coupled M1/M3 mACh receptors are in vitro substrates for GRK2 and -3 (DebBurman et al., 1995; Haga et al., 1996). However, in the absence of direct evidence for such a role of these GRKs in intact cells, this area remains controversial. Indeed, in a series of studies from these laboratories, recombinant M3 mACh receptors expressed in CHO cells have been shown to undergo rapid agonist-dependent phosphorylation on serines in the third intracellular loop and furthermore that recombinant casein kinase 1α can enhance this phosphorylation in membrane preparations (Tobin et al., 1997). More recent studies have revealed that a dominant negative mutant of this kinase can partially suppress agonist-mediated ...

The family of G-protein-coupled receptors includes many well-studied members, such as the adrenergic and the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. These receptors are regulated by multiple mechanisms that serve to adapt their expression and their function to a rapidly changing environment. One of the most intriguing and important regulatory mechanisms involves the phosphorylation of such receptors by a set of specific kinases, termed the G-protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs). This phosphorylation is followed by binding of specific arrestin proteins to the phosphorylated receptors, which uncouples the receptors from their G proteins and thus causes a loss of receptor function. Several isoforms of the GRKs and the arrestins are expressed in the heart. They may be involved in the loss of receptor function in response to drugs. Furthermore, increased expression of one of the GRKs, β-adrenergic receptor kinase-1, has been found in failing hearts, and its increased activity may contribute to the loss of β

G-Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinases: A family of serine-threonine kinases that are specific for G-PROTEIN-COUPLED RECEPTORS. They are regulatory proteins that play a role in G-protein-coupled receptor densensitization.

The metabotropic glutamate 1 (mGlu(1)) receptor in cerebellar Purkinje cells plays a key role in motor learning and motor coordination. Here we show that the G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRK) 2 and 4, which are expressed in these cells, regulate the mGlu(1) receptor by at least in part different mechanisms. Using kinase-dead mutants in HEK293 cells, we found that GRK4, but not GRK2, needs the intact kinase activity to desensitize the mGlu(1) receptor, whereas GRK2, but not GRK4, can interact with and regulate directly the activated Galpha(q). In cells transfected with GRK4 and exposed to agonist, beta-arrestin was first recruited to plasma membranes, where it was co-localized with the mGlu(1) receptor, and then internalized in vesicles. The receptor was also internalized but in different vesicles. The expression of beta-arrestin V53D dominant negative mutant, which did not affect the mGlu(1) receptor internalization, reduced by 70-80% the stimulation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) ...

N2 - Adrenoceptors receptors (ARs) play a pivotal role in regulating cardiovascular response to catecholamines during β2ARs, prototypical G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), expressed in animal hearts, display dual coupling to both Gs and Gi proteins to control the adenylyl cyclase-cAMP dependent protein kinase A (PKA) pathway to regulate contraction responses. Here, we showed that β2AR coupling to Gi proteins was agonist dose-dependent and occurred only at high concentrations in mouse cardiac myocytes. Both β2AR-induced PKA activity, measured by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) imaging, and the increase in myocyte contraction rate displayed ...

Many G protein-coupled receptors, including the PTH receptor, undergo agonist-induced homologous desensitization, which is thought to be exerted by the sequential action of GRKs and β-arrestins. A role for GRKs in the regulation of the PTH receptors already can be inferred from experiments showing that inhibitors of PKA or PKC only partially inhibit PTH receptor phosphorylation in intact cells (21). Indeed, our studies show time- and agonist-dependent phosphorylation of the PTH receptor by GRKs in isolated membranes as well as in intact cells. The three widely distributed GRKs (2, 13, 42) showed an order of efficacy GRK2,GRK3,GRK5. In the membrane assay a stoichiometry of phosphorylation between 1 and 2 mol phosphate/mol receptor was obtained, a value that is similar to the one obtained for the prototypical β2-adrenergic receptor in a similar membrane preparation (43), even though much higher values have been reported for purified reconstituted β2-adrenergic receptors (44). This finding ...

Background: Migration of leukocytes towards sites of inflammation, such as atherosclerotic lesions, is guided through chemokines, which interact with G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) on leukocytes. This process is controlled by phosphorylation of these receptors through GPCR kinases (GRK). GRKs dampen the response of the chemokine signaling and as such regulate the migration of leukocytes towards the lesion. Given the major role of CCR1, CCR2, and CCR5 in atherogenesis, we focussed on GRK2 in this study, and assessed the role of GRK2 deficiency in haematopoietic cells on the atherogenic response in LDLr−/− mice.. Methods & Results: A bone marrow transplant was performed to generate LDLr−/− chimeras with a partial GRK2 deficiency in the haematopoietic lineage. GRK2+/− chimeras developed smaller lesions compared with wild-type controls (WT 585.0 ± 56.4x103 μm2 vs GRK2+/− 403.0 ± 43.8x103 μm2; p=0.017). Moreover, lesions in the GRK2+/− mice also had a 78% reduction in necrotic ...

Current projects emphasize attempts to understand regulation of the receptors and their desensitization which occurs in response to persistent stimulation. We are isolating the enzymes and proteins involved in these processes and studying their mechanisms of action in isolated protein and cellular systems as well as in whole animals. Most important are special enzymes called G protein-coupled receptor kinases which phosphorylate the receptors and lead to their desensitization which occurs when they bind a second protein called barrestin. Most recently we have been developing lines of transgenic animals in which these various proteins are either overexpressed or knockedout by homologous recombination. These genetically altered animal lines are helping to shed new light on the ways in which receptors are regulated. They also have suggested several novel approaches to human therapeutics ...

Antigen receptor-dependent (AgR-dependent) stimulation of the NF-κB transcription factor in lymphocytes is a required event during adaptive immune response, but dysregulated activation of this signaling pathway can lead to lymphoma. AgR stimulation promotes assembly of the CARMA1-BCL10-MALT1 complex, wherein MALT1 acts as (a) a scaffold to recruit components of the canonical NF-κB machinery and (b) a protease to cleave and inactivate specific substrates, including negative regulators of NF-κB. In multiple lymphoma subtypes, malignant B cells hijack AgR signaling pathways to promote their own growth and survival, and inhibiting MALT1 reduces the viability and growth of these tumors. As such, MALT1 has emerged as a potential pharmaceutical target. Here, we identified G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) as a new MALT1-interacting protein. We demonstrated that GRK2 binds the death domain of MALT1 and inhibits MALT1 scaffolding and proteolytic activities. We found that lower GRK2 levels in ...

Introduction]: Insulin resistance (IR) and obesity are major health problems and important risk factors for the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, a disease spectrum that may include hepatic steatosis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, and cirrhosis. G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2), first identified as a regulator of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), has been described to play a relevant role in the development of IR and obesity in vivo. However, the effect of GRK2 in the development of NASH had not been addressed so far. Since the deletion of GRK2 prevents excessive body weight gain, we fed WT and GRK2 global hemizygous mice (GRK2+/-) with a methionine and choline-deficient diet (MCD), a well stablished model of NASH that is independent of fat mass accretion. [Results]: Even though the MCD diet induced similar metabolic alterations and a comparable elevation in plasma transaminase activity in WT and GRK2+/- mice, other negative effects of the MCD were ...

The beta 2 adrenergic receptor (beta 2AR) undergoes desensitization by a process involving its phosphorylation by both protein kinase A (PKA) and G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs). The protein kinase A-anchoring protein AKAP79 influences beta 2AR phosphorylation by complexing PKA with the receptor at the membrane. Here we show that AKAP79 also regulates the ability of GRK2 to phosphorylate agonist-occupied receptors. In human embryonic kidney 293 cells, overexpression of AKAP79 enhances agonist-induced phosphorylation of both the beta 2AR and a mutant of the receptor that cannot be phosphorylated by PKA (beta 2AR/PKA-). Mutants of AKAP79 that do not bind PKA or target to the beta 2AR markedly inhibit phosphorylation of beta 2AR/PKA-. We show that PKA directly phosphorylates GRK2 on serine 685. This modification increases Gbeta gamma subunit binding to GRK2 and thus enhances the ability of the kinase to translocate to the membrane and phosphorylate the receptor. Abrogation of the ...

The beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (beta ARK) phosphorylates the agonist-occupied beta-adrenergic receptor to promote rapid receptor uncoupling from Gs, thereby attenuating adenylyl cyclase activity. Beta ARK-mediated receptor desensitization may reflect a general molecular mechanism operative on many G-protein-coupled receptor systems and, particularly, synaptic neurotransmitter receptors. Two distinct cDNAs encoding beta ARK isozymes were isolated from rat brain and sequenced. The regional and cellular distributions of these two gene products, termed beta ARK1 and beta ARK2, were determined in brain by in situ hybridization and by immunohistochemistry at the light and electron microscopic levels. The beta ARK isozymes were found to be expressed primarily in neurons distributed throughout the CNS. Ultrastructurally, beta ARK1 and beta ARK2 immunoreactivities were present both in association with postsynaptic densities and, presynaptically, with axon terminals. The beta ARK isozymes have a ...

This study was initiated by revealing that two phases of dose-dependent Aβ effects existed in cultured microglial cells. One phase involves Aβ, in the micromolar range, directly inducing microglial TNF-α release as demonstrated previously (Meda et al., 1995). In addition to this known effect produced directly by Aβ, we discovered that, in the subthreshold nanomolar range, soluble Aβ, although insufficient to directly induce TNF-α release, can potentiate, in a dose-dependent manner, TNF-α release induced by other microglial activators, preferentially those that do so via GPCRs. Microglia-mediated inflammation is an important component of AD pathology (McGeer and McGeer, 2001). We showed recently that the ultimate coagulation factor, thrombin, a serine protease with elevated levels in AD brains (Akiyama et al., 1992), can activate microglial cells (as demonstrated by TNF-α induction, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and CD40 upregulation, etc.) via activation of G-protein-coupled PARs (Suo ...

The major finding of this study is that GIT1 is an important regulator of vascular remodeling. Specifically, we found that GIT1 depletion inhibited intima formation after carotid ligation by 50%. In vivo and in vitro analysis showed a key role for GIT1 in VSMC proliferation, migration, and apoptosis during vascular remodeling (Figure III in the online-only Data Supplement). Furthermore, GIT1 is required for VSMC proliferation through PLCγ and ERK1/2 by regulating the expression of cell cycle-related proteins, such as cyclin D1. GIT1 is also essential for cell survival by regulating VSMC apoptosis through PLCγ and cell migration through PLCγ and ERK1/2.. VSMC proliferation and migration are key components in vascular remodeling.1,2 The present study shows that GIT1 expression is highly regulated by AngII and PDGF in vitro, and during vascular remodeling in vivo. The role of GIT1 in mediating VSMC proliferation was demonstrated by several assays, including in vitro cell count, [3H]-thymidine ...

G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) participates together with β-arrestins in the regulation of G protein-coupled receptor signaling, but emerging evidence suggests that GRK2 can interact with a growing number of proteins involved in signaling mediated by other membrane receptor families under various pathologic conditions. We tested the hypothesis that GRK2 may be an important contributor to vascular endothelial dysfunction in diabetes. Human umbilical venous endothelial cells (HUVECs) were exposed to high glucose and high insulin (HG/HI) to mimic insulin-resistant diabetic conditions. GRK2 expression and membrane translocation were up-regulated under HG/HI conditions. HG/HI did not modify activation of Akt or endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS), but GRK2 inhibitor or small interfering RNA (siRNA) resulted in an increase in Akt and eNOS activation in HUVECs exposed to HG/HI. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) activation was increased after exposure to HG/HI, which ...

A role of GRK2 in the regulation of blood pressure has been shown in animal models with partial germline deletion, universal GRK2 knockdown, and targeted overexpression or knockdown in vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells.22, 33, 34, 35, 36 GRK2 plays an important role in the regulation of blood pressure.7 Germline deletion of Grk2 is lethal.37 GRK2 deficiency in global adult hemizygous mice (Grk2+/−) has no effect on basal blood pressure but increases the vasodilator response to acetylcholine or isoproterenol and protects against Ang II-induced hypertension and vascular remodeling that is partially caused by increased nitric oxide bioavailability.33 Cohn et al also found in mice that inhibition of vascular smooth muscle GRK2 by either overexpression of the C‐terminal portion of GRK2 or vascular smooth muscle-specific ablation of GRK2 protein expression has no effect on blood pressure.35 This method of GRK2 silencing also had no effect on the elevated blood pressure resulting from ...

Increasing evidence suggests to vascular damage as an early contributor to the development of two leading causes of age-associated dementia, namely Alzheimer disease (AD) and AD-like pathology such as stroke. This review focuses on the role of G protein-coupled receptor kinases, particularly GRK2 as they relate to dementia and how the vascular abnormalities is involved in cerebrovascular pathogenesis. Any possible involvement of GRKs in AD pathogenesis is an interesting notion, whose exploration may help bridge the gap in our understanding of the heart-brain connection in relation to neurovisceral damage and vascular complications in AD. The a priori basis for this inquiry stems from the fact that kinases of this family regulate numerous receptor functions in the brain, the myocardium and elsewhere. The aim of this review is to discuss the finding of GRK2 overexpression in the context of the early AD pathogenesis, since increased levels of GRK2 immunoreactivity were found in vulnerable neurons from AD

This gene encodes a member of the GIT protein family, which interact with G protein-coupled receptor kinases and possess ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) GTPase-activating protein (GAP) activity. GIT proteins traffic between cytoplasmic complexes, focal adhesions, and the cell periphery, and interact with Pak interacting exchange factor beta (PIX) to form large oligomeric complexes that transiently recruit other proteins. GIT proteins regulate cytoskeletal dynamics and participate in receptor internalization and membrane trafficking. This gene has been shown to repress lamellipodial extension and focal adhesion turnover, and is thought to regulate cell motility. This gene undergoes extensive alternative splicing to generate multiple isoforms, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. The various isoforms have functional differences, with respect to ARF GAP activity and to G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 binding. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008 ...

Elastic and inelastic cross-sections for pion scattering on 12C at pion kinetic energy ranging from 50 to 260 MeV are computed using three independent methods of ?± -nucleus optical potential, the 3?-particle model of the nucleus, the equivalent local Kisslinger potential and the Laplacian one. Reasonable fits to the measured values are obtained for 12C without adjusting free parameters. The ability of these methods to account for elastic, inelastic, total and reaction cross-section data are somewhat similar. The Kisslinger-based local potential is the more suitable for describing the elastic and inelastic cross-sections of ?±-nucleus scattering. It seems that the 3?-particle model of 12C is not useful in the description of pion scattering on 12C at least in the ?-resonance region.
