Role of βγ Subunits of G Proteins in Targeting the β-Adrenergic Receptor Kinase to Membrane-Bound Receptors

Abstract

The rate and extent of the agonist-dependent phosphorylation of β 2 -adrenergic receptors and rhodopsin by β-adrenergic receptor kinase (βARK) are markedly enhanced on addition of G protein βγ subunits. With a model peptide substrate it was demonstrated that direct activation of the kinase could not account for this effect. G protein βγ subunits were shown to interact directly with the COOH-terminal region of βARK, and formation of this βARK-βγ complex resulted in receptor-facilitated membrane localization of the enzyme. The βγ subunits of transducin were less effective at both enhancing the rate of receptor phosphorylation and binding to the COOH-terminus of βARK, suggesting that the enzyme preferentially binds specific βγ complexes. The βγ-mediated membrane localization of βARK serves to intimately link receptor activation to βARK-mediated desensitization.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
