Publisher Summary

This chapter discusses the regulation of G protein-coupled receptors by receptor kinases and arrestins. Signal transduction through seven-transmembrane domain or serpentine receptors, which is mediated by guanine nucleotide-binding (G) proteins, accounts for a significant fraction of all signaling in the body. Heterotrimeric G proteins modulate the activities of multiple effectors, including cyclic GMP (cGMP) phosphodiesterase, adenylyl cyclase, phospholipases C and A2, and potassium and calcium ion channels, which alter the levels of second messenger molecules and ultimately lead to a variety of cell-specific events. Absorption of a photon of light by a molecule of rhodopsin residing in the disk membrane of rod outer segments results in the isomerization of the chromophore 11-cis-retinal to the all-trans conformation, yielding the active form of rhodopsin, metarhodopsin II. Two members of the G protein-coupled receptor kinases family appear to be expressed in a limited number of tissues. It is found that rhodopsin kinase is predominantly expressed in the retina, where it localizes to both rod and cones by immunofluorescence, and in the pineal body to a lesser extent.

      Several reports have indicated that GPCRs are phosphorylated in a unique manner. The initial findings suggest that GPCR phosphorylation by specific kinases is required for the dissociation of the receptor from the coupled G-proteins, followed by the recruitment of arrestins to terminate the signaling [125–128]. The receptor-arrestin complex associates with various proteins involved in the formation of clathrin-coated pits, leading to receptor internalization [127,129].

      Agonist binding to GPCRs typically results in G protein activation followed by receptor desensitization mediated by phosphorylation of intracellular domains and recruitment of arrestins. The arrestin proteins sterically occlude the receptor from further G protein coupling and connect the receptor to the internalization machinery of the cell to initiate endocytosis (54). Here it was tested whether CCR1 is internalized in the absence of agonist in various cell systems.

      In addition, β-arrestin has been demonstrated as playing an important role in regulating opioid receptors.7 8 β-arrestins, including β-arrestin 1 and β-arrestin 2, are predominantly expressed in neuronal tissues (low expression can be detected in most tissues)9 and regulate G-protein-coupled receptor coupling and signalling.10 In β-arrestin 2 knockout mice, the tolerance to the antinociceptive effects was significantly attenuated in the tail-flick (TF) test.8 11
