In biochemistry and signal transduction, G-protein-coupled receptor kinases are a "family of serine-threonine kinases that are specific for G-protein-coupled receptors. They are regulatory proteins that play a role in G-protein-coupled receptor desensitization."[1] "G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) play an important role in phosphorylating and regulating the activity of a variety of G protein-coupled receptors."[2]

In signal transduction, cell surface receptors may activate second messenger systems such as adenyl cyclase-cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP which then may activate protein kinases such as G-protein-coupled receptor kinase which then affect downstream targets (see figure).[3]

Classification

  • G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 1 (GRK1) is "a protein-serine-threonine kinase that is found in photoreceptor cells. It mediates light-dependent phosphorylation of rhodopsin and plays an important role in phototransduction."[4]
  • beta-adrenergic receptor kinases
    • G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) , also called beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 1 (ADRBK1), is "a ubiquitously expressed g-protein-coupled receptor kinase subtype that has specificity for the agonist-occupied form of beta-adrenergic receptors. It may play an essential role in regulating myocardial contractile response."[5]
    • G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 3 (GRK3) , also called beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 2 (ADRBK2), is "a ubiquitously expressed g-protein-coupled receptor kinase subtype that has specificity for the agonist-occupied form of beta-adrenergic receptors and a variety of other g-protein-coupled-receptors. Although it is highly homologous to g-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2, it is not considered to play an essential role in regulating myocardial contractile response."[6]
  • G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 4 (GRK4) is "a G-protein-coupled receptor kinase subtype that is primarily expressed in the testes and brain. Variants of this subtype exist due to multiple alternative splicing of its mRNA."[7]
  • G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 5 (GRK5) is "a g-protein-coupled receptor kinase subtype that is primarily expressed in the myocardium and may play a role in the regulation of cardiac function."[8]

Pharmacogenomics

Heart failure

Regarding the treatment of heart failure, there is conflicting evidence whether adrenergic beta-antagonists are as effective in African-American patients as in Anglo patients.[9] This may be due to a polymorphism in African-American patients of the G protein–coupled cell surface receptor kinase 5 (GRK5) that confers a natural "genetic beta-blockade".[10][11]

G protein–coupled cell surface receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) genetic polymorphisms may also affect the response to adrenergic beta-antagonists.[12]

Asthma

Genetic polymorphisms may affect the response to adrenergic beta-antagonists by patients of African descent.[13]
