Abstract

Preincubation of duck erythrocytes with tumor promoting phorbol diesters or catecholamines leads to attenuation of adenylate cyclase activity. 12-O-Tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate treatment induced a 38% and 30% desensitization of isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity, respectively. In contrast, the inactive phorbol diester, 4α-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate, was without effect in promoting adenylate cyclase desensitization. The catecholamine isoproterenol induced a 51% desensitization. Incubation of 32Pi labeled erythrocytes with TPA promoted a 3- to 4-fold increase in phosphorylation of the β-adrenergic receptor as did incubation with isoproterenol. Treatment of the cells with both TPA and isoproterenol together resulted in desensitization and receptor phosphorylation which were no greater than those observed with either agent alone. These data suggest a potential role for protein kinase C in regulating β-adrenergic receptor function.

      Heterologous regulation occurs at low agonist concentration and affects the stimulated receptors as well as other inactive receptors on the same cell. Second messenger-dependent protein kinases, such as protein kinase A and C (PKC), mediate heterologous regulation by phosphorylating the receptors in the cytoplasmic regions regardless of agonist occupancy [8,51]. Even though two regulatory processes occur via different mechanisms, there have been reports showing the mutual interactions between PKC and GRK2/β-arrestins.

      Conversely, heterologous GPCR regulation is mediated by second messengers, which are mostly produced via the activation of adjacent receptors. Second messenger-dependent protein kinases, such as protein kinase A (PKA), and C (PKC), mediate heterologous GPCR regulation by heterologously phosphorylating both agonist occupied, and unoccupied GPCRs [6,7]. Maintaining normal interactions between the homologous and heterologous pathways is critical to ensure the correct regulation of GPCR functions.

      Protein kinase C has been shown to modulate the function of several G-protein-linked receptors, and consensus sites for phosphorylation have been identified in many of these receptors. Although a few early studies suggested that activation of protein kinase C desensitizes the β2-adrenergic receptors (38, 39), most subsequent studies reported either no effect of protein kinase C activation on desensitization (40, 41) or frank potentiation of β2-adrenergic receptor signaling rather than desensitization (42-48). Protein kinase C is associated in complex with the receptor-gravin complex in unstimulated cells.
