Abstract:
:G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) play a key role in the process of receptor homologous desensitization. In the present study, we address the question of whether a variety of receptors coupled to different G protein subtypes and naturally expressed on the same cell are selectively regulated by GRK2. The signaling stimulated by thyrotropin (TSH), alpha(1B)-adrenergic, and A(1) adenosine receptors was studied in FRTL-5 cells permanently transfected to overexpress GRK2 and GRK2-K220R, a kinase dead GRK dominant negative mutant. In FRTL-5 overexpressing GRK2, TSH-induced cyclic AMP response was attenuated, indicating that TSH receptor is desensitized by this kinase. Consistently, FRTL-5 cells overexpressing GRK2-K220R show increased TSH-induced cyclic AMP response, demonstrating that this receptor is under tonic control by GRK. Unlike TSH receptor, alpha(1B)-adrenergic receptor response was unaffected in FRTL-5 overexpressing GRK2 and GRK2-K220R. When A(1) adenosine receptors were stimulated, G(ialpha)-mediated cyclic AMP inhibition was totally unaffected by overexpression of either GRK2 or GRK2-K220R. By contrast, G(betagamma)-mediated response (activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases) was efficiently desensitized by GRK2 but was unaffected by GRK2-K220R overexpression. The present study documents that overexpression of GRK2 results in a selective regulation of different G protein-coupled receptors expressed on the same cell and that this kinase can regulate preferentially only one of the different pathways activated by the same receptor. The preferential regulation of the A(1) adenosine receptor-stimulated mitogen-activated protein kinases by GRK2 indicates that this kinase can have additional regulatory effects on G(betagamma)-stimulated pathways, possibly through direct binding and regulation of the receptor-G(betagamma) complex.
