G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) phosphorylate agonist-occupied G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), resulting in GPCR desensitization. GRK2 is one of the better studied of the six known GRKs and phosphorylates several GPCRs. In a previous study, we documented that GRK2 and GRK3 phosphorylate purified and reconstituted rat substance P receptor (rSPR) [Kwatra et al. (1993)J. Biol. Chem.268, 9161−9164]. Here, we characterize in detail GRK2-catalyzed phosphorylation of human SPR (hSPR) in intact membranes. GRK2 phosphorylates hSPR in urea-washed Sf9 membranes in an agonist-dependent manner with a stoichiometry of 19 ± 1 mol of phosphate/mol of receptor, which increases slightly (1.3-fold increase) in the presence of Gβγ. Kinetic analyses indicate that receptor phosphorylation occurs with aKmof 6.3 ± 0.4 nM and aVmaxof 1.8 ± 0.1 nmol/min/mg; these kinetic parameters are only slightly affected by Gβγ [Km= 3.6 ± 1.0 nM andVmax= 2.2 ± 0.2 nmol/min/mg]. The lack of a strong stimulatory effect of Gβγ on GRK2-catalyzed phosphorylation of hSPR is surprising since Gβγ potently stimulates GRK2-catalyzed phosphorylation of β2-adrenergic receptor and rhodopsin. Involvement of Gβγ endogenously present in membranes is ruled out as a source of high levels of hSPR phosphorylation, since receptor phosphorylation was not affected by guanine nucleotides that suppress or enhance the release of endogenous Gβγ. The present study determines, for the first time, the kinetics of phosphorylation of a receptor substrate of GRK2 in intact membranes. Further, our results identify hSPR as a unique substrate of GRK2 whose phosphorylation is strong even in the absence of Gβγ.
