Abstract

We examined here the role of second messenger-dependent kinases and beta-arrestins in short-term regulation of the PTH receptor (PTHR) signaling. The inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) in COS-7 cells transiently expressing PTHR, led to an approximately 2-fold increase in PTH-stimulated inositol phosphate (IP) and cAMP production. The inhibition of protein kinase A increased cAMP production 1.5-fold without affecting IP signaling. The effects of PKC inhibition on PTHR-mediated G(q) signaling were strongly decreased for a carboxy-terminally truncated PTHR (T480) that is phosphorylation deficient. PKC inhibition was associated with a decrease in agonist-stimulated PTHR phosphorylation and internalization without blocking PTH-dependent mobilization of beta-arrestin2 to the plasma membrane. Overexpression of beta-arrestins strongly decreased the PTHR-mediated IP signal, whereas cAMP production was impaired to a much lower extent. The regulation of PTH-stimulated signals by beta-arrestins was impaired for the truncated T480 receptor. Our data reveal mechanisms at, and distal to, the receptor regulating PTHR-mediated signaling pathways by second messenger-dependent kinases. We conclude that regulation of PTHR-mediated signaling by PKC and beta-arrestins are separable phenomena that both involve the carboxy terminus of the receptor. A major role for PKC and beta-arrestins in preferential regulation of PTHR-mediated G(q) signaling by independent mechanisms at the receptor level was established.
