Abstract

The beta-2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR), a member of GPCR, can activate multiple signaling pathways and is an important treatment target for cardiac failure. However, the molecular mechanism about β2AR signaling regulation is not fully understood. In this study, we found that cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator-associated ligand (CAL) overexpression reduced β2AR-mediated extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2 (ERK1/2) activation. Further study identified CAL as a novel binding partner of β2AR. CAL is associated with β2AR mainly via the third intracellular loop (ICL3) of receptor and the coiled-coil domains of CAL, which is distinct from CAL/β1AR interaction mediated by the carboxyl terminal (CT) of β1AR and PDZ domain of CAL. CAL overexpression retarded β2AR expression in Golgi apparatus and reduced the receptor expression in plasma membrane.
