Myocardial pathology induced by aldosterone is dependent on non-canonical activities of G protein-coupled receptor kinases

Nature Communications, 2016
High aldosterone levels cause heart damage independently of its well-known effect on blood pressure. Here, Cannavo et al. show that aldosterone-mediated cardiac pathology involves G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) kinase 2 (GRK2) and GRK5 that integrate ...

Sensitization of the Angiotensin II AT1 Receptor Contributes to RKIP-Induced Symptoms of Heart Failure

Frontiers in Medicine, 2019
Inhibition of the G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is an emerging treatment approach for heart failure. Therefore, cardio-protective mechanisms induced by GRK2 inhibition are under investigation. We compared two different GRK2 inhibitors, i.e.,

G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2-mediated phosphorylation of ezrin is required for G protein-coupled receptor-dependent reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton [PDF]

, 2005
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

Regulatory Role of GRK2 in the TLR Signaling-Mediated iNOS Induction Pathway in Microglial Cells

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is a ubiquitous member of the GRK family that restrains cellular activation by G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) phosphorylation leading to receptor desensitization and internalization, but has been identified ...

Natural Products Exhibit Therapeutic Potential in Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis by Targeting the PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathway

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes how natural products, mainly including flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, and polyphenols alleviate RA via PI3K/Akt pathway, regulating inflammation, proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and osteoclast differentiation. The figure was created by Figdraw (https://www.figdraw.com/#/).

Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1)-independent activation of the protein kinase C substrate, protein kinase D [PDF]

, 2007
Phosphoinoisitide dependent kinase l (PDK1) is proposed to phosphorylate a key threonine residue within the catalytic domain of the protein kinase C (PKC) superfamily that controls the stability and catalytic competence of these kinases.

The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora

Prediction of Structure, Function, and Spectroscopic Properties of G-Protein-Coupled Receptors: Methods and Applications [PDF]

, 2004
G-protein-coupled receptors are of great pharmaceutical interest, comprising the majority of targets for currently marketed drugs. The theme of my thesis is the development of the structure prediction method, MembStruk, for the superfamily of G-protein ...

GRK2 kinases in the primary cilium initiate SMOOTHENED-PKA signaling in the Hedgehog cascade. [PDF]

PLoS Biology
During Hedgehog (Hh) signal transduction in development and disease, the atypical G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) SMOOTHENED (SMO) communicates with GLI transcription factors by binding the protein kinase A catalytic subunit (PKA-C) and physically ...
