Phosphorylation of chick heart muscarinic cholinergic receptors by the .beta.-adrenergic receptor kinase [PDF]

open access: possibleBiochemistry, 1989
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.

Role of acidic amino acids in peptide substrates of the .beta.-adrenergic receptor kinase and rhodopsin kinase [PDF]

open access: possibleBiochemistry, 1991
The beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (beta-ARK) phosphorylates G protein coupled receptors in an agonist-dependent manner. Since the exact sites of receptor phosphorylation by beta-ARK are poorly defined, the identification of substrate amino acids that are critical to phosphorylation by the kinase are also unknown.

Transgenic manipulation of beta-adrenergic receptor kinase modifies cardiac myocyte contraction to norepinephrine

American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1997
To determine the direct functional significance of the beta-adrenergic receptor (AR) kinase 1 (beta ARK1) on myocardial performance in the absence of tonic sympathoadrenal neural activation and mechanical loading, we measured the contractile responses to acute beta 1-AR stimulation in left ventricular myocytes isolated from nontransgenic control (NTG)

β-Adrenergic Receptor Kinase: Primary Structure Delineates a Multigene Family

Science, 1989
The β-adrenergic receptor kinase (β-ARK), which specifically phosphorylates only the agonist-occupied form of the β-adrenergic and closely related receptors, appears to be important in mediating rapid agonist-specific (homologous) desensitization.

Molecular Cloning, Functional Expression and mRNA Analysis of Human Beta-Adrenergic Receptor Kinase 2

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1993
In the present study the cDNA of human beta ARK2 was cloned using both PCR and cDNA library screening, subcloned into an expression vector and transiently expressed in COS7 cells. The expressed kinase activity was approximately 40% as efficient as human beta ARK1 in phosphorylating bovine rod outer segments in vitro. Northern blot analysis of human and

The β-adrenergic receptor kinase in heart failure

Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, 2003
Heart failure (HF) remains a significant and increasing cause of worldwide morbidity and mortality. HF is less a disease than a common clinical endpoint resulting from diverse, but often co-existing etiologies-including hypertension, coronary artery disease, and viral cardiomyopathy.

Mutation screening and association study of the beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 2 gene in schizophrenia families

Psychiatry Research, 2004
Chromosome 22q12 is one of the most promising regions for harboring a risk gene for schizophrenia. We have reported significant linkage of intermediate phenotypes for schizophrenia with markers within or near the beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 2 (ADRBK2, or GRK3) gene, which is highly expressed in dopaminergic pathways in the central nervous system ...
