title: Synthetic segments of the mammalian beta AR are preferentially recognized by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C.
abstract: Desensitization of the beta-adrenergic receptor has been correlated in some cell systems with receptor phosphorylation. Various kinases have been implicated in these phosphorylation processes, including both cAMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C. In the present study, we have utilized the protein sequence information obtained from the cloning of the mammalian beta-adrenergic receptor to prepare synthetic peptides corresponding to regions of the receptor which would be predicted to act as possible substrates for these kinases in vivo. Two of these receptor-derived peptides were found to serve as substrates for these protein kinases. A peptide corresponding to amino acids 257-264 of the beta-receptor is the preferred substrate for the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, while protein kinase C showed a marked preference for phosphorylation of a peptide corresponding to residues 341-351 of the beta-adrenergic receptor.
