Signal Transduction in G-protein-coupled receptors

Diverse signalling pathways regulated by the type 2 beta adrenergic receptor (2AR).

The 2AR can activate two G proteins, Gs and Gi (part of the Gs and Gi heterotrimers, respectively), which differentially regulate adenylate cyclase. Adenylate cyclase generates cyclic AMP (cAMP), which activates protein kinase A (PKA), a kinase that regulates the activity of several cellular proteins including the L-type Ca2+ channel and the 2AR. cAMP second messenger levels are downregulated by specific phosphodiesterase proteins (PDEs).

Activation of the 2AR also leads to phosphorylation by a G-protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK) and subsequent coupling to arrestin. Arrestin is a signalling and regulatory protein that promotes the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK), prevents the activation of G proteins and promotes the internalization of the receptor through clathrin-coated pits. PKC, protein kinase C. The inset shows classification of ligand efficacy for GPCRs. Many GPCRs exhibit basal, agonist-independent activity. Inverse agonists inhibit this activity, and neutral antagonists have no effect. Agonists and partial agonists stimulate biological responses above the basal activity. Efficacy is not directly related to affinity; for example, a partial agonist can have a higher affinity for a GPCR than a full agonist.
