Homologous or receptor-specific desensitization of beta-adrenergic receptors is thought to be triggered by receptor phosphorylation mediated by the beta-adrenergic receptor kinases (beta ARK). Upon receptor activation, cytosolic BARK translocates to the membrane, probably by binding to G-protein beta gamma-subunits. Using the purified proteins reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles we show here that this binding process can be inhibited by phosducin, a cytosolic protein that has recently been described as a regulator of G-protein-mediated signalling. Phosducin appears to complete very effectively with beta ARK for the G-protein beta gamma-subunits. These inhibitory effects of phosducin on receptor phosphorylation are antagonized following phosphorylation of phosducin by protein kinase A. It is proposed that phosducin may act as a regulator of homologous beta-adrenergic receptor desensitization.
