Abstract
The PTH receptor is to our knowledge one of the first G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) found to sustain cAMP signaling after internalization of the ligand–receptor complex in endosomes. This unexpected model is adding a new dimension on how we think about GPCR signaling, but its mechanism is incompletely understood. We report here that endosomal acidification mediated by the PKA action on the v-ATPase provides a negative feedback mechanism by which endosomal receptor signaling is turned off.
