ResumoWe have localized a G protein activator region of the human β2-adrenergic receptor to region βIII-2 (from Arg259 to Lys273). The synthetic βIII-2, corresponding to the C-terminal end of the third cytoplasmic loop, activates Gs at nanomolar concentrations and weakly activates Gi. βIII-2 activates adenylyl cyclase at nanomolar concentrations in wild-type S49 lymphoma membranes, but not in membranes of unc mutant S49 cells, in which Gs is uncoupled from β-adrenergic stimulation. Phosphorylation of βIII-2 by cAMP-dependent protein kinase A, which is involved in the desensitization of the β-adrenergic receptor from Gs, drastically reduces the effect of βIII-2 on Gs while potentiating its action on Gi, resulting in a total loss of adenylyl cyclase-stimulating activity. These findings indicate that this receptor sequence is a multipotential G protein activator whose G protein specificity is regulated by protein kinase A.
