The interaction of the chemokine receptor, CCR5, expressed in recombinant cells, with
different G proteins was investigated and CCR5 was found to interact with Gi, Go and Gq
species. Interaction with Gi leads to G protein activation, whereas Gq does not seem to be
activated. Additionally, CCR5 activation also leads to phosphorylation of Janus kinase 2
(JAK2). Activation of JAK2 is independent of Gi or Gq activation. Gi protein activation was not
prevented by inhibition of JAK, showing that heterotrimeric G protein activation and …

Gi protein activation was not prevented by inhibition of JAK, showing that heterotrimeric G protein activation and activation of the JAK/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway are independent of each other.
