G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) kinases (GRKs) bind to and phosphorylate GPCRs, initiating the process of GPCR desensitization and internalization. GRK4 is implicated in the regulation of blood pressure, and three GRK4 polymorphisms (R65L, A142V, and A486V) are associated with hypertension. Here, we describe the 2.6 angstrom structure of human GRK4 alpha.A486V crystallized in the presence of 5'-adenylyl beta,gamma-imidodiphosphate. The structure of GRK4 alpha is similar to other GRKs, although slight differences exist within the RGS homology (RH) bundle subdomain, substrate-binding site, and kinase C-tail. The RH bundle subdomain and kinase C-terminal lobe form a strikingly acidic surface, whereas the kinase N-terminal lobe and RH terminal subdomain surfaces are much more basic. In this respect, GRK4 alpha is more similar to GRK2 than GRK6. A fully ordered kinase C-tail reveals interactions linking the C-tail with important determinants of kinase activity, including the alpha B helix, alpha D helix, and the P-loop. Autophosphorylation of wild-type GRK4 alpha is required for full kinase activity, as indicated by a lag in phosphorylation of a peptide from the dopamine D-1 receptor without ATP preincubation. In contrast, this lag is not observed in GRK4 alpha A486V. Phosphopeptide mapping by mass spectrometry indicates an increased rate of autophosphorylation of a number of residues in GRK4 alpha A486V relative to wild-type GRK4 alpha, including Ser-485 in the kinase C-tail.
