Cell-free desensitization of catecholamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase. Agonist- and cAMP-promoted alterations in turkey erythrocyte beta-adrenergic receptors.

TLDR
Data indicate that beta-adrenergic agonists promote a cAMP-mediated process which leads to receptor alterations and desensitization, and the availability of this cell-free system should facilitate elucidation of the molecular mechanisms involved in these processes.

Molecular mechanisms of receptor desensitization using the β -adrenergic receptor-coupled adenylate cyclase system as a model

TL;DR: New insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying desensitization have emerged from the study of the receptors coupled to the ubiquitous second messenger-generating system adenylate cyclase.

Beta-adrenergic receptor kinase: identification of a novel protein kinase that phosphorylates the agonist-occupied form of the receptor

TL;DR: The existence of this novel cAMP-independent kinase, which preferentially phosphorylates the agonist-occupied form of the beta-adrenergic receptor, suggests a mechanism that may explain the homologous or agonists-specific form of adenylate cyclase desensitization and suggests a general mechanism for regulation of receptor function.

Phorbol diesters promote β-adrenergic receptor phosphorylation and adenylate cyclase desensitization in duck erythrocytes

TL;DR: A potential role for protein kinase C in regulating beta-adrenergic receptor function is suggested in regulatingalpha-phorbol diesters or catecholamines and in promoting adenylate cyclase desensitization in duck erythrocytes with tumor promotion.

Regulation of adrenergic receptor function by phosphorylation. II. Effects of agonist occupancy on phosphorylation of alpha 1- and beta 2-adrenergic receptors by protein kinase C and the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

TL;DR: Observations suggest that "feedback" and "cross-system" phosphorylation may represent distinct and differently regulated mechanisms of modulation of receptor function.

Neuronal phosphoproteins: physiological and clinical implications

TL;DR: The presence of a great variety of neuron-specific phosphoproteins in nervous tissue supports the view that protein phosphorylation plays many roles in neuronal function.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.

Cleavage of Structural Proteins during the Assembly of the Head of Bacteriophage T4

TL;DR: Using an improved method of gel electrophoresis, many hitherto unknown proteins have been found in bacteriophage T4 and some of these have been identified with specific gene products.

Catecholamine-induced subsensitivity of adenylate cyclase associated with loss of beta-adrenergic receptor binding sites

TL;DR: Data suggest that beta-adrenergic catecholamines are able to regulate catechlamine sensitivity of tissues in vivo, by regulating the properties of the beta- adrenergic receptor binding sites.
