Cells express several G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) at their surfaces, transmitting simultaneous extracellular hormonal and chemical signals into cells. A comprehensive understanding of mechanisms underlying the integrated signaling response induced by distinct GPCRs is thus required. Here we found that the β-adrenergic receptor, which induces a short cAMP response, prolongs nuclear cAMP and protein kinase A (PKA) activation by promoting endosomal cAMP production in parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptor signaling through the stimulatory action of G protein Gβγ subunits on adenylate cyclase type 2.
细胞在其表面表达多种G蛋白偶联受体(GPCR),将细胞外的激素和化学信号同时传递到细胞内。因此,需要全面了解由不同GPCR诱导的整合信号反应的潜在机制。在这里,我们发现,诱导短暂cAMP反应的β-肾上腺素能受体,通过G蛋白Gβγ亚基对2型腺苷酸环化酶的刺激作用,促进甲状旁腺激素(PTH)受体信号传导中的内体cAMP产生,从而延长核cAMP和蛋白激酶A(PKA)的激活。
