The third intracellular loop of adrenergic receptors has been implicated in their interaction with guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins). One of the mechanisms involved in the modulation of receptor function is the phosphorylation of specific residues by intracellular kinases. alpha1b-Adrenergic receptor is phosphorylated in vitro by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), although its physiological effect remains to be determined. We have produced fusion proteins formed by
glutathione S-transferase
and sequences of the third intracellular loop of mouse alpha1a-, alpha1b-, and alpha1d-adrenergic receptor subtypes, and used them as substrates for PKA. Only the fusion protein containing the alpha1b sequence was phosphorylated in vitro by this kinase. Site-directed mutagenesis of a serine (homologue to serine 278 of the rat sequence,
RSS
) to an alanine residue precluded phosphorylation by PKA.
