Regulators of G-protein signaling (RGS) are GTPase-activating proteins (GAP) for activated G alpha subunits. We found that mouse RGS16, when expressed in HEK293T cells, is phosphorylated constitutively at serine 194 based on in vivo orthophosphate labeling experiments, while serine 53 is phosphorylated in a ligand-dependent manner upon stimulation by epinephrine in cells expressing the alpha 2A adrenergic receptor. Phosphorylation on both sites impairs its GAP activity and subsequent attenuation on heterotrimeric G-protein-stimulated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase activity. This is the first report of RGS functional downregulation by phosphorylation via a G-protein-coupled receptor. (C) 2001 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
