G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2-mediated phosphorylation of ezrin is required for G protein-coupled receptor-dependent reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton.
G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) phosphorylates and desensitizes activated G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Here, we identify ezrin as a novel non-GPCR substrate of GRK2. GRK2 phosphorylates glutathione S-transferase (GST)-ezrin, but not an ezrin fusion protein lacking threonine 567 (T567), in vitro. These results suggest that T567, the regulatory phosphorylation site responsible ...
متن کاملG-protein Coupled Receptor Dimerization
A growing body of evidence suggests that GPCRs exist and function as dimers or higher oligomers. The evidence for GPCR dimerization comes from biochemical, biophysical and functional studies. In addition, researchers have shown the occurrence of heterodimerization between different members of the GPCR family. Two receptors can interact with each other to make a dimer through their extracellular...
متن کاملReorganization of the actin cytoskeleton upon G-protein coupled receptor signaling.
The actin cytoskeleton is involved in a multitude of cellular responses besides providing structural support. While the role of the actin cytoskeleton in cellular processes such as trafficking and motility has been extensively studied, reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton upon signaling by G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) represents a relatively unexplored area. The G-protein coupled rec...
متن کاملG-protein-coupled receptor kinase interacting protein-1 is required for pulmonary vascular development.
BACKGROUND The G-protein-coupled receptor kinase interacting protein-1 (GIT1) is a multidomain scaffold protein that participates in many cellular functions including receptor internalization, focal adhesion remodeling, and signaling by both G-protein-coupled receptors and tyrosine kinase receptors. However, there have been no in vivo studies of GIT1 function to date. METHODS AND RESULTS To d...
متن کاملG-protein-coupled receptor kinase activity is increased in hypertension.
Impaired vascular beta-adrenergic responsiveness may play an important role in the development and/or maintenance of hypertension. This defect has been associated with an alteration in receptor/guanine nucleotide regulatory protein (G-protein) interactions. However, the locus of this defect remains unclear. G-Protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) phosphorylate serine/threonine residues on G-p...
