Phosphorylation barcodes encoded by CXCR3 agonists direct biased chemokine signaling

ABSTRACT: Chemokine receptors (CKRs), a class of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), interact with transducers like G proteins and β-arrestins. Many chemokines act as “biased agonists” that activate certain transducers over others. There has been limited success in pharmacologically targeting CKRs, with little evidence that differential receptor phosphorylation, or “phosphorylation barcodes,” direct biased responses. Here, we used mass spectrometry to demonstrate that CXCR3 chemokines generate different phosphorylation barcodes associated with differential activation of transducers. Chemokine stimulation resulted in distinct changes throughout the kinome in global phosphoproteomic studies. Mutation of CXCR3 phosphosites altered β-arrestin conformation and activation in molecular dynamics simulations. T-cells expressing phosphorylation-deficient CXCR3 mutants resulted in agonist- and receptor-specific chemotactic profiles not completely explained by engagement of G proteins and β-arrestins. Our results demonstrate that CXCR3 chemokines act as biased agonists through differential encoding of phosphorylation barcodes, and highlight the limitations of assessing GPCR physiology with proximal effector activity alone.

Project description:Mukhopadhyay2013 - T cell receptor proximal signaling reveals emergent ultrasensitivity This model is described in the article: Systems model of T cell receptor proximal signaling reveals emergent ultrasensitivity. Mukhopadhyay H, Cordoba SP, Maini PK, van der Merwe PA, Dushek O. PLoS Comput. Biol. 2013; 9(3): e1003004 Abstract: Receptor phosphorylation is thought to be tightly regulated because phosphorylated receptors initiate signaling cascades leading to cellular activation. The T cell antigen receptor (TCR) on the surface of T cells is phosphorylated by the kinase Lck and dephosphorylated by the phosphatase CD45 on multiple immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs). Intriguingly, Lck sequentially phosphorylates ITAMs and ZAP-70, a cytosolic kinase, binds to phosphorylated ITAMs with differential affinities. The purpose of multiple ITAMs, their sequential phosphorylation, and the differential ZAP-70 affinities are unknown. Here, we use a systems model to show that this signaling architecture produces emergent ultrasensitivity resulting in switch-like responses at the scale of individual TCRs. Importantly, this switch-like response is an emergent property, so that removal of multiple ITAMs, sequential phosphorylation, or differential affinities abolishes the switch. We propose that highly regulated TCR phosphorylation is achieved by an emergent switch-like response and use the systems model to design novel chimeric antigen receptors for therapy.
