Abstract
The concept of G protein-coupled receptors initially arose from studies of the β-adrenoceptor, adenylyl cyclase, and cAMP signalling pathway. Since then both canonical G protein-coupled receptor signalling pathways and emerging paradigms in receptor signalling have been defined by experiments focused on adrenoceptors. Here, we discuss the evidence for G protein coupling specificity of the nine adrenoceptor subtypes. We summarise the ability of each of the adrenoceptors to activate proximal signalling mediators including cAMP, calcium, mitogen-activated protein kinases, and protein kinase C pathways. Finally, we highlight the importance of precise spatial and temporal control of adrenoceptor signalling that is controlled by the localisation of receptors at intracellular membranes and in larger protein complexes.

[PMID: 36921038 PMCID: PMC10017040 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.ade7109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Estradiol (17[Formula: see text]-E2) is implicated in higher arrhythmia risk of women with congenital or acquired long-QT syndrome (LQTS) compared to men. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood, and little is known about the impact of LQTS-associated mutations. We show that 17[Formula: see text]-E2 inhibits the human cardiac Kv7.1/KCNE1 channel expressed in Xenopus oocytes. We find that the 17[Formula: see text]-E2 effect depends on the Kv7.1 to KCNE1 stoichiometry, and we reveal a critical function of the KCNE1 carboxyl terminus for the effect. LQTS-associated mutations in the KCNE1 carboxyl terminus show a range of responses to 17[Formula: see text]-E2, from a wild-type like response to impaired or abolished response. Together, this study increases our understanding of the mechanistic basis for 17[Formula: see text]-E2 inhibition of Kv7.1/KCNE1 and demonstrates mutation-dependent responses to 17[Formula: see text]-E2. These findings suggest that the 17[Formula: see text]-E2 effect on Kv7.1/KCNE1 might contribute to the higher arrhythmia risk of women, particularly in carriers with specific LQTS-associated mutations.

PKC regulation of ion channels: The involvement of PIP 2. J Biol Chem 2022; 298:102035.

Abstract
Ion channels are integral membrane proteins whose gating has been increasingly shown to depend on the presence of the low-abundance membrane phospholipid, phosphatidylinositol (4,5) bisphosphate. The expression and function of ion channels is tightly regulated via protein phosphorylation by specific kinases, including various PKC isoforms. Several channels have further been shown to be regulated by PKC through altered surface expression, probability of channel opening, shifts in voltage dependence of their activation, or changes in inactivation or desensitization. In this review, we survey the impact of phosphorylation of various ion channels by PKC isoforms and examine the dependence of phosphorylated ion channels on phosphatidylinositol (4,5) bisphosphate as a mechanistic endpoint to control channel gating.

Cell Signal 2021; 91:110228. [PMID: 34958868 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2021.110228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2021] [Revised: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 12/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Activation of a specific protein kinase C (PKC) isoform during stimulation of Gq protein-coupled receptors (GqPCRs) is determined by homologous receptor desensitization that controls the spatiotemporal formation of downstream Gq signalling molecules. Furthermore, GqPCR-activated PKC isoforms specifically regulate receptor activity via a negative feedback mechanism. In the present study, we investigated the contribution of several phosphorylation sites in the α1B-adrenergic receptor (α1B-AR) for PKC and G protein coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) to homologous receptor desensitization and effector modulation. We analyzed signalling events downstream to human wildtype α1B-ARs and α1B-ARs lacking PKC or GRK2 phosphorylation sites (Δ391-401, α1B-ΔPKC-AR and Δ402-520, α1B-ΔGRK-AR) by means of FRET-based biosensors in HEK293 that served as online-assays of receptor activity. K+ currents through KCNQ1/KCNE1 channels (IKs), which are regulated by both phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2)-depletion and/or phosphorylation by PKC, were measured as a functional readout of wildtype and mutant α1B-AR receptor activity. As a novel finding, we provide evidence that deletion of PKC and GRK2 phosphorylation sites in α1B-ARs abrogates the contribution of PKCα to homologous receptor desensitization. Instead, the time course of mutant receptor activity was specifically modulated by PKCβ. Mutant α1B-ARs displayed pronounced homologous receptor desensitization that was abolished by PKCβ-specific pharmacological inhibitors. IKs modulation during stimulation of wildtype and mutant α1B-ARs displayed transient inhibition and current facilitation after agonist withdrawal with reduced capability of mutant α1B-ARs to induce IKs inhibition. Pharmacological inhibition of the PKCβ isoform did not augment IKs reduction by mutant α1B-ARs, but shifted IKs modulation towards current facilitation. Coexpression of an inactive (dominant-negative) PKCδ isoform (DN-PKCδ) abolished IKs facilitation in α1B-ΔGRK-AR-expressing cells, but not in α1B-ΔPKC-AR-expressing cells. The data indicate that the differential modulation of IKs activity by α1B-ΔGRK- and α1B-ΔPKC-receptors is attributed to the activation of entirely distinct novel PKC isoforms. To summarize, specific phosphorylation sites within the wildtype and mutant α1B-adrenergic receptors are targeted by different PKC isoforms, resulting in differential regulation of receptor desensitization and effector function.

Membrane pools of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate regulate KCNQ1/KCNE1 membrane expression. Commun Biol 2021; 4:1392.

Abstract
Plasma membrane phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) is a precursor of PI(4,5)P2, an important regulator of a large number of ion channels. Although the role of the phospholipid PI(4,5)P2 in stabilizing ion channel function is well established, little is known about the role of phospholipids in channel membrane localization and specifically the role of PI4P in channel function and localization. The phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases (PI4Ks) synthesize PI4P. Our data show that inhibition of PI4K and prolonged decrease of levels of plasma membrane PI4P lead to a decrease in the KCNQ1/KCNE1 channel membrane localization and function. In addition, we show that mutations linked to Long QT syndrome that affect channel interactions with phospholipids lead to a decrease in membrane expression. We show that expression of a LQT1-associated C-terminal deletion mutant abolishes PI4Kinase-mediated decrease in membrane expression and rescues membrane expression for phospholipid-targeting mutations. Our results indicate a novel role for PI4P on ion channel regulation. Our data suggest that decreased membrane PI4P availability to the channel, either due to inhibition of PI4K or as consequence of mutations, dramatically inhibits KCNQ1/KCNE1 channel membrane localization and current. Our results may have implications to regulation of other PI4P binding channels.

Abstract
The slow cardiac delayed rectifier current (IKs) is formed by KCNQ1 and KCNE1 subunits and is one of the major repolarizing currents in the heart. Decrease of IKs currents either due to inherited mutations or pathological remodeling is associated with increased risk for cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death. Ca2+-dependent PKC isoforms (cPKC) are chronically activated in heart disease and diabetes. Recently, we found that sustained stimulation of the calcium-dependent PKCβII isoform leads to decrease in KCNQ1 subunit membrane localization and KCNQ1/KCNE1 channel activity, although the role of KCNE1 in this regulation was not explored. Here, we show that the auxiliary KCNE1 subunit expression is necessary for channel internalization. A mutation in a KCNE1 phosphorylation site (KCNE1(S102A)) abolished channel internalization in both heterologous expression systems and cardiomyocytes. Altogether, our results suggest that KCNE1(S102) phosphorylation by PKCβII leads to KCNQ1/KCNE1 channel internalization in response to sustained PKC stimulus, while leaving KCNQ1 homomeric channels in the membrane. This preferential internalization is expected to have strong impact on cardiac repolarization. Our results suggest that KCNE1(S102) is an important anti-arrhythmic drug target to prevent IKs pathological remodeling leading to cardiac arrhythmias.
