Caveolin-1 abrogates the increase in GRK5 activity resulting from
PDGFRβ-mediated tyrosyl phosphorylation. GRK5 substrate peptide
phosphorylation assays were performed as in
Fig. 8, but in two sequential
stages: 1) nonradioactive phosphorylation, in which GRK5 was incubated with
immune complexes from PDGFRβ-expressing or -deficient (control) HEK
cells; and 2) [γ-32P]ATP phosphorylation, for which GRK5 was
separated from immune complexes before combining with GRK5 substrate peptide,
in the presence or absence of caveolin-1 (or -2) scaffolding domain peptides,
as described under Materials and Methods. GRK5 substrate peptide cpm
were normalized to those obtained with GRK5 that had not been
prephosphorylated by the PDGFRβ and was not incubated with caveolin
peptides (control), to obtain the percentage of control. Shown are the means
± S.E. from four independent experiments. Compared with control:
*, p < 0.05. Compared with the cognate reaction
conducted without caveolin-1 peptide: †, p < 0.05.
