Abstract Although the oxytocin receptor (OTR) mediates many important functions including uterine contractions, milk ejection, and maternal behavior, the mechanisms controlling agonist-induced OTR desensitization have remained unclear, and attempts to demonstrate involvement of a G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK) have so far failed. Using the OTR as a model, we demonstrate here directly for the first time the dynamics of agonist-induced interactions of a GRK with a G protein-coupled receptor in real time, using time-resolved bioluminescence resonance energy transfer. GRK2/receptor interactions started within 4 sec, peaked at 10 sec, and decreased to less than 40% within 8 min. By contrast, β-arrestin/OTR interactions initiated only at 10 sec, reached plateau levels at 120 sec, but remained stable with little decrease thereafter. Physical GRK2/OTR association was further demonstrated by coimmunoprecipitation of endogenous GRK2 with activated OTR. In COS-7 cells, which express low levels of GRK2 and β-arrestin, overexpression of GRK2 and β-arrestin increased receptor phosphorylation, desensitization, and internalization to the high levels observed in human embryonic kidney 293 cells. By contrast, specific inhibition of endogenous GRK2 by dominant-negative mutants robustly inhibited OTR phosphorylation and internalization as well as arrestin/OTR interactions. These data characterize the temporal and causal relationship of GRK-2/OTR and β-arrestin/OTR interactions and establish GRK/OTR interaction as a prerequisite for β-arrestin-mediated OTR desensitization.
