A simple reaction kinetic model of rapid (G protein dependent) and slow (beta-Arrestin dependent) transmission.

چکیده
In this paper the qualitative dynamic behavior of reaction kinetic models of G protein signaling is examined. A simplified basic G protein signaling structure is defined, which is extended to be able to take the effect of slow transmission, RGS mediated feedback regulation and ERK-phosphatase mediated feedback regulation into account. The resulting model gives rise to an acceptable qualitative approximation of the G protein dependent and independent ERK activation dynamics that is in good agreement with the experimentally observed behavior.

An Akt/β-Arrestin 2/PP2A Signaling Complex Mediates Dopaminergic Neurotransmission and Behavior
Dopamine plays an important role in the etiology of schizophrenia, and D2 class dopamine receptors are the best-established target of antipsychotic drugs. Here we show that D2 class-receptor-mediated Akt regulation involves the formation of signaling complexes containing beta-arrestin 2, PP2A, and Akt. beta-arrestin 2 deficiency in mice results in reduction of dopamine-dependent behaviors, loss...
متن کاملGLP-1 mediates antiapoptotic effect by phosphorylating Bad through a beta-arrestin 1-mediated ERK1/2 activation in pancreatic beta-cells.
Strategies based on activating GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) are intensively developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The exhaustive knowledge of the signaling pathways linked to activated GLP-1R within the beta-cells is of major importance. In beta-cells, GLP-1 activates the ERK1/2 cascade by diverse pathways dependent on either Galpha(s)/cAMP/cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) or beta-arres...
متن کاملBeta-arrestin-dependent signaling and trafficking of 7-transmembrane receptors is reciprocally regulated by the deubiquitinase USP33 and the E3 ligase Mdm2.
Beta-arrestins are multifunctional adaptors that mediate the desensitization, internalization, and some signaling functions of seven-transmembrane receptors (7TMRs). Agonist-stimulated ubiquitination of beta-arrestin2 mediated by the E3 ubiquitin ligase Mdm2 is critical for rapid beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR) internalization. We now report the discovery that the deubiquitinating enzym...
متن کاملBeta-arrestin 2 is required for the induction and strengthening of integrin-mediated leukocyte adhesion during CXCR2-driven extravasation.
Leukocyte extravasation involves interdependent signaling pathways underlying the complex dynamics of firm adhesion, crawling, and diapedesis. While signal transduction by agonist-bound chemokine receptors plays a central role in the above responses, it is unclear how it contributes to the sustained and concurrent nature of such responses, given the rapid kinetics of chemokine-induced trimeric ...
متن کاملThe V2 vasopressin receptor stimulates ERK1/2 activity independently of heterotrimeric G protein signalling.
The V2 vasopressin receptor (V2R) activates the mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) ERK1/2 through a mechanism involving the scaffolding protein beta arrestin. Here we report that this activating pathway is independent of G alpha s, G alpha i, G alpha q or G betagamma and that the V2R-mediated activation of G alpha s inhibits ERK1/2 activity in a cAMP/PKA-dependent manner. In the HEK293 ce...
