Protein kinases that phosphorylate activated G protein‐coupled receptors

G protein‐coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) are a family of serine/threonine protein kinases that specifically recognize agonist‐occupied, activated G protein‐coupled receptor proteins as substrates. Phosphorylation of an activated receptor by a GRK terminates signaling by that receptor, by initiating the uncoupling of the receptor from heterotrimeric G proteins. Six distinct mammalian GRKs are known, which differ in tissue distribution and in regulatory properties. The intracellular localization of GRKs to membrane‐bound receptor substrates is the most important known regulatory feature of these enzymes. Rhodopsin kinase (GRK1) requires a post‐translationally added farnesyl isoprenoid to bind to light‐activated rhodopsin. The β‐adrenergic receptor kinases (GRK2 and GRK3) associate with heterotrimeric G protein βγ‐subunits, released upon receptor activation of G proteins, for membrane anchorage. The recently‐described GRKs 4, 5, and 6 comprise a distinct subgroup of GRKs. These kinases utilize distinct mechanisms for membrane localization, which are just beginning to be defined. All GRKs appear to play the same general cellular role of desensitizing activated G protein‐coupled receptors, but utilize distinctly individual means to the same end.—Premont, R.
