Transactivation of the EGF receptor as a novel desensitization mechanism for G protein-coupled receptors, illustrated by dopamine D2-like and β2 adrenergic receptors.

ABSTRACT: Transactivation of epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) provides intricate control over multiple regulatory cellular processes that merge the diversity of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with the robust signaling capacities of receptor tyrosine kinases. Contrary to the typical assertions, our findings demonstrate that EGFR transactivation contributes to the desensitization of GPCRs. Repeated agonist stimulation of certain GPCRs enhanced EGFR transactivation, triggering a series of cellular events associated with GPCR desensitization. This effect was observed in receptors undergoing desensitization (D3R, K149C-D2R, β2AR) but not in those resistant to desensitization (D2R, C147K-D3R, D4R, β2AR mutants lackin
