Persistent stimulation of the β 1-adrenergic receptor (β 1 AR) engenders, within minutes,
diminished responsiveness of the β 1 AR/adenylyl cyclase signal transduction system. This
desensitization remains incompletely defined mechanistically, however. We therefore tested
the hypothesis that agonist-induced desensitization of the β 1 AR (like that of the related β 2
AR) involves phosphorylation of the receptor itself, by cAMP-dependent protein kinase
(PKA) and the β-adrenergic receptor kinase (βARK1) or other G protein-coupled receptor …
