Signaling and Regulation of Protease-Activated Receptors 1 and 2
(PAR1 and
PAR2)
By Kelly L. McCoy
Unique aspects of PAR1 and PAR2 include their distinctive mechanism
of activation,
their multiplicity of G protein coupling, their differential signal
regulation, and their
contribution to remarkably diverse cellular processes. Recent
evidence suggests that these
closely related receptors regulate different physiological outputs
in the same cell, though
little is known about their comparative signaling pathways. Here we
report that PAR1 and
PAR2 couple to overlapping and distinct sets of G proteins to
regulate receptor-specific
signaling pathways involved in cell migration. We also investigated
potential regulatory
mechanisms in place to fine-tune PAR1 and PAR2 signaling. Their
signaling must be
tightly controlled since they are irreversibly activated and
stimulate multiple G protein-
linked pathways. My studies demonstrate that selective, cell
type-specific G protein
coupling to PAR1 and/or PAR2 may provide one such level of
regulation. An additional
level of PAR regulation may come from regulators of G protein
signaling (RGS) proteins,
which act as GTPase-activating proteins and thereby inhibit G
protein signaling. Little is
known about RGS regulation of PAR signaling but my data using
purified proteins and
intact cells suggest that RGS proteins have both distinct and
overlapping effects on PAR1
and PAR2, including a capacity to modulate functional readouts of
PAR signaling.
Together, these studies demonstrate that PAR1 and PAR2 functionally
couple to
overlapping and distinct G protein-linked functional pathways, and
these signaling events
are regulated, at least in part, by specific RGS proteins in
receptor- and G protein-
dependent manners.
