Regulation of G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 and its role in tumors [PDF]
Background G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2(GRK2) is a pivotal regulator of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signal desensitization. It is increasingly recognized for its involvement in the pathogenesis of various malignancies through non-canonical ...

G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2-mediated phosphorylation of ezrin is required for G protein-coupled receptor-dependent reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. [PDF]
G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) phosphorylates and desensitizes activated G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Here, we identify ezrin as a novel non-GPCR substrate of GRK2. GRK2 phosphorylates glutathione S-transferase (GST)-ezrin, but not an ezrin fusion protein lacking threonine 567 (T567), in vitro.

G-Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase 2 Limits CCL21-Induced T Cell Migration via Phospholipase Cγ1 [PDF]
Background/Objectives: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) can promote ligand-biased signaling, yet the mechanisms that promote bias are not well understood.

G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 promotes flaviviridae entry and replication. [PDF]
Flaviviruses cause a wide range of severe diseases ranging from encephalitis to hemorrhagic fever. Discovery of host factors that regulate the fate of flaviviruses in infected cells could provide insight into the molecular mechanisms of infection and ...

Structure-Based Design of Highly Selective and Potent G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase 2 Inhibitors Based on Paroxetine. [PDF]
In heart failure, the β-adrenergic receptors (βARs) become desensitized and uncoupled from heterotrimeric G proteins. This process is initiated by G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs), some of which are upregulated in the failing heart making them ...

G protein-coupled receptor kinase-2: A potential biomarker for early diabetic cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
G protein‐coupled receptor kinase‐2 (GRK2) has been shown as a key regulator of cardiac function, and the myocardial GRK2 levels are mirrored by the levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).

Degradation of the G Protein-coupled Receptor Kinase 2 by the Proteasome Pathway* [PDF]
GRK2 is a ubiquitous member of the G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK) family and has been shown to play a key role in determining the desensitization and resensitization patterns of a variety of G protein-coupled receptors.

Structure-Based Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Highly Selective and Potent G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase 2 Inhibitors. [PDF]
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are central to many physiological processes. Regulation of this superfamily of receptors is controlled by GPCR kinases (GRKs), some of which have been implicated in heart failure.
