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.

Activation of β-Adrenergic Receptor Kinase During Myocardial Ischemia

Circulation Research, 1996
During myocardial ischemia, a local release of noradrenaline coincides with an increased density of β-adrenergic receptors. The functional activity of these receptors, however, is mainly determined by their state of phosphorylation. The β-adrenergic receptor kinase (βARK) specifically phosphorylates and thereby inactivates β-adrenergic receptors after ...

Desensitization of the isolated .beta.2-adrenergic receptor by .beta.-adrenergic receptor kinase, cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and protein kinase C occurs via distinct molecular mechanisms

Biochemistry, 1992
Exposure of beta 2-adrenergic receptors (beta 2ARs) to agonists causes a rapid desensitization of the receptor-stimulated adenylyl cyclase response. Phosphorylation of the beta 2AR by several distinct kinases plays an important role in this desensitization phenomenon.

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

Biochemistry, 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.

Protein kinase activity of phosphoinositide 3-kinase regulates β-adrenergic receptor endocytosis

Nature Cell Biology, 2005
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI(3)K) is a unique enzyme characterized by both lipid and protein kinase activities. Here, we demonstrate a requirement for the protein kinase activity of PI(3)K in agonist-dependent beta-adrenergic receptor (betaAR) internalization.

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.

Light-dependent phosphorylation of rhodopsin by β-adrenergic receptor kinase

Nature, 1986
The structural components involved in transduction of extracellular signals as diverse as a photon of light impinging on the retina or a hormone molecule impinging on a cell have been highly conserved. These components include a recognition unit or receptor (for example, the beta-adrenergic receptor (beta AR) for catecholamines or the 'light receptor ...

Functional consequences of A1 adenosine-receptor phosphorylation by the β-adrenergic receptor kinase

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 1993
Treatment of smooth-muscle cells with R-phenylisopropyladenosine (R-PIA) leads to a loss of A1 adenosine receptor (A1AR)-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase, a decrease in receptor number and an increase in receptor phosphorylation. In this study, the role of the beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (beta ARK) in the phosphorylation and inactivation of

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)

Comparative Analysis of β-Adrenergic Receptor Kinase and β-Arrestin mRNA Expression in Human Cells

Journal of Receptor Research, 1993
Receptor phosphorylation is a key step in the process of rapid desensitization. beta-Adrenergic receptor kinase is a specific receptor kinase that is known to phosphorylate and induce desensitization of several G-coupled synaptic receptors only when they are occupied by their agonists.
