A protein antigenically related to the simian virus (SV 40) A gene product has been purified to near homogeneity from cells infected with the adenovirus-SV 40 hybrid virus Ad2(+)D2 and shown to contain ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) and protein kinase (ATP:phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) activity. Both enzymatic activities copurify with the protein through six stages including one gel filtration column, two ion exchange columns, and a heparin affinity column. Analogous fractions from extracts of cells uninfected or infected with adenovirus 2 alone do not contain these enzymatic activities. The D2 hybrid protein resolves into two forms (I and II) during ion exchange chromatography. Form I, the major species (85%) of the D2 hybrid protein, elutes from DEAE-Sephadex in 0.37 M NaCl and is able to catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP + P(i) at a rate of 3 mumol/hr per mg. The remaining 10-15% of the D2 hybrid protein consists of form II which elutes from DEAE-Sephadex in 0.29 M NaCl and is able to hydrolyze ATP as well as to incorporate phosphorus from ATP into either the D2 hybrid protein itself or other protein acceptors such as phosvitin. Although both forms are able to bind DNA, the ATPase activity of form I cosediments with SV 40 DNA more efficiently than does the protein kinase activity of form II during glycerol gradient centrifugation. The ATPase activity of form I is efficiently inhibited by addition of anti-T gamma globulin to the reaction mixture whereas control gamma globulin has no effect. Similarly, the phosphorylation of the D2 hybrid protein by form II is inhibited by anti-T gamma globulin. By contrast, phosphorylation of phosvitin is specifically inhibited by antibody only when the immune complex is removed from the reaction mixture. Thus, it appears likely that one and possibly two enzymatic activities are carried out by the D2 hybrid protein. These findings are discussed in terms of mechanisms of SV 40 DNA replication and virally induced transformation.

A substantial proportion of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy have circulating autoantibodies directed against the cardiac beta-adrenoceptor. These antireceptor antibodies inhibit both ligand binding to membrane beta-receptors and isoproterenol-sensitive adenylate cyclase. The functional consequences of antibody-receptor interactions were further studied by examining their influence on beta-adrenoceptor cycling. Sera from eight patients with cardiomyopathy induced a loss of beta-receptors from the surface of cardiac myocytes consistent with internalization. This loss was inhibited by concanavalin A, suggesting that receptor sequestration preceded internalization but was unaffected by the cytoskeleton inhibitors colchicine and cytochalasin. In cell-free preparations, serum-induced desensitization of beta-receptors was prevented by heparin but not the inhibitor of protein kinase A; this is consistent with a requirement for receptor phosphorylation by the beta-receptor kinase. In contrast to isoproterenol-mediated endocytosis, beta-receptors internalized under the influence of cardiomyopathic sera do not recycle to the plasma membrane. These results indicate that antireceptor antibodies in human dilated cardiomyopathy induced downregulation by interfering at several steps in the cycling of beta-receptors. These effects would contribute to the reported decline in beta-receptor responsiveness in cardiomyopathic myocardium.

We have examined the effects of xamoterol, a partial beta 1-adrenoceptor agonist, on cardiac beta-adrenoceptors using isolated myocytes and cell-free preparations. Xamoterol was considerably less effective than isoproterenol in stimulating adenylate cyclase activity but the difference was narrowed by 1 microM forskolin, presumably by inducing more efficient coupling to the catalytic subunit of the enzyme. Xamoterol mediated a time- and concentration-dependent loss of beta-adrenoceptors from the cell surface of cardiac myocytes through a process of internalization sensitive to the cytoskeleton inhibitors, colchicine and cytochalasine. In cell-free preparations, loss of membrane-bound beta-adrenoceptors induced by xamoterol, but not that induced by 1 microM isoproterenol, was prevented by the inhibitor of protein kinase A. In contrast, 100 nM heparin (an inhibitor of beta-receptor kinase) prevented the isoproterenol-but not the xamoterol-mediated decline of beta-receptors. In addition, 1 microM xamoterol attenuated the isoproterenol-mediated internalization of beta-adrenoceptors in cardiac myocytes over a wide range of isoproterenol concentrations. This attenuation required activation of protein kinase A. These results suggest that the influence of xamoterol on the cycling of cardiac beta-adrenoceptors involves different pathways than those utilized by isoproterenol.

Previous studies have demonstrated that muscarinic cholinergic receptors (mAChR) become markedly phosphorylated when intact cardiac cells are stimulated with a muscarinic agonist. This process appears to be related to the process of receptor desensitization. However, the mechanism of agonist-induced phosphorylation of mAChR is not known. In situ phosphorylation studies suggested that agonist-induced phosphorylation of mAChR may involve the participation of a receptor-specific kinase and/or require agonist occupancy. These observations regarding phosphorylation and desensitization of mAChR are similar to observations made for beta-adrenergic receptors. Recent studies have indicated that homologous desensitization of beta-adrenergic receptors may be due to the phosphorylation of these receptors by a novel protein kinase that only recognizes the agonist-occupied form of the receptors. As muscarinic receptors are structurally homologous to beta-adrenergic receptors, we have initiated studies to identify the protein kinase responsible for the phosphorylation of muscarinic receptors by determining whether the chick heart muscarinic receptor would serve as a substrate for the beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (beta-AR kinase). We report that the purified and reconstituted chick heart muscarinic receptor serves as an excellent substrate in vitro for the beta-AR kinase. Phosphorylation of mAChR receptors by the beta-AR kinase was only observed in the presence of a muscarinic receptor agonist and was prevented in the presence of antagonist. Both the extent of phosphorylation (3-4 mol of P/mol of receptor) and the phosphoamino acid composition of the mAChR after incubation in vitro with beta-AR kinase were similar to the characteristics of agonist-induced phosphorylation of mAChR in situ.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The beta 2-adrenergic receptor (beta-AR) is an integral membrane glycoprotein of apparent Mr approximately equal to 64,000. The amino acid sequence deduced from the beta-AR gene reveals homology with the visual pigment rhodopsin of retinal rod outer segments. We have proposed a structural model of beta-AR which is similar to that elucidated for rhodopsin. In this paper we identify a number of structural and topographical characteristics of beta-AR consistent with the model through the use of limited proteolysis. Limited trypsinization of beta-AR reconstituted in lipid vesicles yields two insoluble (integral membrane) domains of Mr approximately equal to 38,000 and 26,000. Identical results were obtained in intact cells, indicating that the cleavage site of the receptor is accessible at the extracellular surface of the plasma membrane. The amino-terminal domain (38 kDa) contains the ligand binding site (as revealed by photoaffinity labeling) and the sites of glycosylation (as revealed by its sensitivity to endoglycosidase F), whereas the carboxyl-terminal domain (26 kDa) contains all the sites of in vitro phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and the beta-adrenergic receptor kinase. Of four canonical sites for N-linked glycosylation, two near the amino and two near the carboxyl terminus, only those in the amino-terminal domain (Asn6 and Asn15) are utilized and sensitive to endoglycosidase F. Carboxypeptidase Y treatment of reconstituted native beta-adrenergic receptor generates a truncated (approximately 57 kDa) glycopeptide that has lost most of the sites phosphorylated by beta-AR kinase and one of the sites phosphorylated by protein kinase A. The various features delineated, including the length of the carboxypeptidase Y-sensitive region, the extracellular location of the trypsin-sensitive site, the location of the sites of phosphorylation and glycosylation all constrain the receptor to a rhodopsin-like structure with multiple membrane spanning segments.

beta-Adrenergic receptor kinase (beta-AR kinase) is a cytosolic enzyme that phosphorylates the beta-adrenergic receptor only when it is occupied by an agonist [Benovic, J. Strasser, R. H., Caron, M. G. & Lefkowitz, R. J. (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83, 2797-2801.] It may be crucially involved in the processes that lead to homologous or agonist-specific desensitization of the receptor. Stimulation of DDT1MF-2 hamster smooth muscle cells or S49 mouse lymphoma cells with a beta-agonist leads to translocation of 80-90% of the beta-AR kinase activity from the cytosol to the plasma membrane. The translocation process is quite rapid, is concurrent with receptor phosphorylation, and precedes receptor desensitization and sequestration. It is also transient, since much of the activity returns to the cytosol as the receptors become sequestered. Stimulation of beta-AR kinase translocation is a receptor-mediated event, since the beta-antagonist propranolol blocks the effect of agonist. In the kin- mutant of the S49 cells (lacks cAMP-dependent protein kinase), prostaglandin E1, which provokes homologous desensitization of its own receptor, is at least as effective as isoproterenol in promoting beta-AR kinase translocation to the plasma membrane. However, in the DDT1MF-2 cells, which contain alpha 1-adrenergic receptors coupled to phosphatidylinositol turnover, the alpha 1-agonist phenylephrine is ineffective. These results suggest that the first step in homologous desensitization of the beta-adrenergic receptor may be an agonist-promoted translocation of beta-AR kinase from cytosol to plasma membrane and that beta-AR kinase may represent a more general adenylate cyclase-coupled receptor kinase that participates in regulating the function of many such receptors.

Mounting evidence suggests that the physiological function of the various subtypes of adrenergic receptors is controlled by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation reactions. It seems intuitively unlikely that this phenomenon will be limited simply to the adrenergic receptors, since these receptors share transmembrane signaling pathways with a host of other plasma membrane receptors. Different types of kinases appear to be involved. On the one hand, phosphorylation reactions may operate in a classical feedback regulatory sense. Thus, the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, once activated by a beta-agonist, can feedback-regulate the function of the receptors by phosphorylating and desensitizing them. Similarly, protein kinase C appears to be able to feedback-regulate the function of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors by phosphorylation. There may also be "cross talk" between the systems. Thus, protein kinase C, when stimulated by phorbols, is able to phosphorylate and desensitize the beta-adrenergic receptors. Moreover, very recently we have found that the cAMP-dependent protein kinase can phosphorylate the alpha 1-adrenergic receptors in vitro. These are examples of one transmembrane signaling system regulating the function of another. Perhaps most interestingly, it appears that there may be a previously unappreciated class of receptor kinases in the cytosol of cells. The first of these, which we have recently found and named beta-ARK, serves to phosphorylate only the agonist-occupied form of the beta-adrenergic receptor. As noted, it is somewhat analogous to the rhodopsin kinase. Such highly specific receptor kinases, which can phosphorylate only the agonist-occupied form of a receptor, represent a potentially elegant mechanism for controlling the function of receptors in a fashion which is linked to their physiological stimulation. How widespread such kinases are, and the actual roles which they play in regulating receptor function, remain to be determined. Finally, it should be stressed that although this review has focused on the regulatory role of receptor phosphorylation, it is by no means our intent to suggest that receptors are the only locus for physiological control of sensitivity to hormone and drug reaction. There is already evidence that guanine nucleotide regulatory proteins can be regulated, and it seems likely that each of the components of the system, including the adenylate cyclase, are likely to be involved in various forms of complex regulation. To date, however, the receptors represent that component of the system whose regulation we understand in the greatest detail.

Attenuation of receptor-mediated signal amplification in response to external stimuli, an essential step in the balance of cellular activation, may be mediated by receptor phosphorylation. We have recently shown that the carboxyl-terminal cytoplasmic domain of the N-formyl peptide receptor (FPR) interacts with G proteins and demonstrate here that this same region of the FPR is specifically phosphorylated by a neutrophil cytosolic kinase with properties similar to the G protein-coupled receptor kinase, GRK2. Both kinase activities show a lack of sensitivity toward protein kinase A, protein kinase C, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors but demonstrate almost identical sensitivity toward the kinase inhibitor heparin. Kinetic studies demonstrated that GRK2 has a Km for the carboxyl-terminal domain of the FPR of approximately 1.5 microM and that denaturation of the substrate results in an almost complete loss of phosphorylation. Comparative studies reveal that GRK3 has approximately 50% of the activity of GRK2 toward the FPR carboxyl terminus, whereas GRK5 and GRK6 have no detectable activity. Site-directed mutagenesis of numerous regions of the FPR carboxyl terminus demonstrated that, whereas Glu326/Asp327 and Asp333 are critical for phosphorylation, the carboxyl-terminal 10 amino acids are not required. Simultaneous substitution of Thr334, Thr336, Ser338, and Thr339 resulted in an approximately 50% reduction in phosphorylation, whereas simultaneous substitution of the upstream Ser328, Thr329, Thr331, and Ser332 or merely the Ser328 and Thr329 residues resulted in an approximately 80% reduction in phosphorylation. The introduction of negatively charged glutamate residues for Ser328 and Thr329 or Thr331 and Ser332 resulted in marked stimulation of phosphorylation. These results suggest a hierarchical mechanism in which phosphorylation of amino-terminal serine and threonine residues is required for the subsequent phosphorylation of carboxyl-terminal residues. These results provide the first direct evidence that an intracellular domain of a chemoattractant receptor is a high affinity substrate for GRK2 and further suggest a role for GRK2 or a closely related kinase in the attenuation of receptor-mediated activation of inflammatory cells.

Olfaction is mediated by G protein-coupled receptors. In isolated rat olfactory cilia, odorants such as citralva stimulate a burst of cAMP, which peaks in 50 ms and returns almost to base-line level within 150 ms in the continuing presence of odorant. This desensitization is mediated by the cAMP dependent protein kinase and a specialized G protein-coupled receptor kinase originally termed beta ARK2 (GRK3). In vitro experiments suggest that the prenylated beta gamma-subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins target the cytosolic beta ARK1 (GRK2) enzyme to its membrane bound receptor substrate by binding to sites in its carboxyl terminus. Here we demonstrate that odorants stimulate translocation of GRK3 from cytosol to membranes in isolated rat olfactory cilia. We introduced a glutathione S-transferase-GRK3ct fusion protein, containing the carboxyl-terminal 222 amino acid residues of GRK3, which includes the beta gamma binding site, or a 28-amino acid peptide derived therefrom, into permeabilized cilia preparations. These reagents block odorant-mediated enzyme translocation and desensitization while markedly attenuating odorant-stimulated phosphorylation of olfactory proteins. These findings suggest that beta gamma-subunits may physiologically regulate a G protein-coupled receptor kinase and that enzyme translocation may be a general and required feature of the activity of some members of this enzyme family.

Effects of G proteins on the phosphorylation of muscarinic receptors (mAChRs) have been examined. Cerebral but not atrial mAChRs were phosphorylated by any one of three types of protein kinase C and 4-6 mol of phosphate were incorporated per mol of mAChR, mostly in the 12-14 kDa from the carboxyterminus. Atrial mAChRs were better substrates of cAMP-dependent protein kinase than cerebral mAChRs. Phosphorylation of mAChRs by protein kinase C or cAMP-dependent protein kinase was not dependent on the presence of agonists and G proteins except that a slight inhibition by G proteins was observed probably because G proteins were also substrates of the two kinases. Agonist-dependent phosphorylation of atrial mAChRs or recombinant human mAChRs (m2 subtype) by a kinase (mAChR kinase), which is the same or very similar to beta adrenergic receptor kinase (beta ARK), was found to be regulated by the G proteins in a dual manner; stimulation by G protein beta gamma subunits and inhibition by G protein alpha beta gamma trimer. The inhibition by the G protein trimer is restored by addition of guanine nucleotides and is considered to be due to the formation of a ternary complex of agonist, mAChR and guanine nucleotide free G proteins. The stimulation by G protein beta gamma subunits was also observed for the light- or agonist-dependent phosphorylation of rhodopsin and beta AR by the mAChR kinase but not for the light-dependent phosphorylation of rhodopsin by rhodopsin kinase. The phosphorylation by beta ARK 1 was also found to be stimulated by G protein beta gamma subunits. The beta gamma subunit is considered to interact with the extra 130 amino acid residue carboxyterminal tail of beta ARK, which does not exist in rhodopsin kinase, and the interaction results in the activation of the kinase. We may assume that the G protein coupled receptor kinase is an effector of G protein beta gamma subunits and that one of the functions of beta gamma subunits is to stimulate the phosphorylation of G protein coupled receptors thereby facilitating their desensitization.
