The G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK2) belongs to a family of protein kinases that phosphorylates agonist-activated G protein-coupled receptors, leading to G protein-receptor uncoupling and termination of G protein signaling. GRK2 also contains a regulator of G protein signaling homology (RH) domain, which selectively interacts with α-subunits of the Gq/11 family that are released during G protein-coupled receptor activation. We have previously reported that kinase activity of GRK2 up-regulates activity of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) in a Na+ absorptive epithelium by blocking Nedd4-2-dependent inhibition of ENaC. In the present study, we report that GRK2 also regulates ENaC by a mechanism that does not depend on its kinase activity. We show that a wild-type GRK2 (wtGRK2) and a kinase-dead GRK2 mutant (K220RGRK2), but not a GRK2 mutant that lacks the C-terminal RH domain (ΔRH-GRK2) or a GRK2 mutant that cannot interact with Gαq/11/14 (D110AGRK2), increase activity of ENaC. GRK2 up-regulates the basal activity of the channel as a consequence of its RH domain binding the α-subunits of Gq/11. We further found that expression of constitutively active Gαq/11 mutants significantly inhibits activity of ENaC. Conversely, co-expression of siRNA against Gαq/11 increases ENaC activity. The effect of Gαq on ENaC activity is not due to change in ENaC membrane expression and is independent of Nedd4-2. These findings reveal a novel mechanism by which GRK2 and Gq/11 α-subunits regulate the activity ENaC.

Agonists to the μ-opioid G protein-coupled receptor (μOR) can alleviate pain through activation of G protein signaling, but they can also induce β-arrestin activation, leading to such side effects as respiratory depression. Biased ligands to μOR that induce G protein signaling without inducing β-arrestin signaling can alleviate pain while reducing side effects. However, the mechanism for stimulating β-arrestin signaling is not known, making it difficult to design optimum biased ligands. We use extensive molecular dynamics simulations to determine three-dimensional (3D) structures of activated β-arrestin2 stabilized by phosphorylated μOR bound to the morphine and D-Ala2,N-MePhe4, Gly-ol]-enkephalin (DAMGO) nonbiased agonists and to the TRV130 biased agonist. For nonbiased agonists, we find that the β-arrestin2 couples to the phosphorylated μOR by forming strong polar interactions with intracellular loop 2 (ICL2) and either the ICL3 or cytoplasmic region of transmembrane (TM6). Strikingly, Gi protein makes identical strong bonds with these same ICLs. Thus, the Gi protein and β-arrestin2 compete for the same binding site even though their recruitment leads to much different outcomes. On the other hand, we find that TRV130 has a greater tendency to bind the extracellular portion of TM2 and TM3, which repositions TM6 in the cytoplasmic region of μOR, hindering β-arrestin2 from making polar anchors to the ICL3 or to the cytosolic end of TM6. This dramatically reduces the affinity between μOR and β-arrestin2.
