Translation regulation by Alpha-1 adrenergic receptors

Subtype alpha-1 adrenergic receptors consist of Alpha-1A adrenergic receptor, Alpha-1B adrenergic receptor and Alpha-1D adrenergic receptor. Noradrenaline-activated alpha-1 adrenergic receptors participate in many physiological processes, e.g., in translation activation [1], [2]

These adrenergic receptors activate different Guanine nucleotide binding proteins (G-proteins). For example, all three receptors interact with G-protein alpha-q and G-protein alpha-11 [1], [3], [4]. Alpha-1B adrenergic receptor acts through G-protein beta/gamma of pertussis toxin-sensitive Alpha activating activity polypeptide O (G-protein alpha-o) [3], [5]. G-proteins also activate Phospholipase C beta 1 (PLC-beta1) [6]. PLC-beta1 hydrolyzes Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2) to produce Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and 1,2-diacyl-glycerol (DAG).

IP3 interacts with Inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor type 3 (IP3 receptor) of the endoplasmic reticulum, and this leads to Ca('2+) release. Elevated Ca('2+) level activates Calmodulin / Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMK II) / PTK2B protein tyrosine kinase 2 beta (Pyk2(FAK2)) / v-src sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (c-Src) [7]. c-Src can activate Phosphoinositide-3-kinase, regulatory subunit 1 (alpha) (PI3K reg class IA (p85-alpha))/ PI3K cat class IA (p110-beta) directly [4], [8], [9] or via SHC (Src homology 2 domain containing) transforming protein 1 (Shc)/ Son of sevenless homolog (SOS)/ v-Ha-ras Harvey rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (H-Ras) [4].

Activated PI3K catalyzes transformation of PtdIns(4,5)P2 to Phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3). Presumably, then PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 then activates Shc / SOS / H-Ras. H-Ras then activates v-raf-1 murine leukemia viral oncogene homolog 1 (c-Raf-1) / Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases 1 and 2 (MEK1(MAP2K1) and MEK2(MAP2K2))/ Mitogen activated protein kinase 1 (ERK2(MAPK1)) [1], [10].

In addition, Protein kinase C, delta and epsilon (PKC-delta and PKC-epsilon) are believed to be activated by DAG [5], [11] and can stimulate Pyk2(FAK2)/ PI3K/ ERK2(MAPK1) [1], [8], [10].

ERK2(MAPK1) activates Tuberous sclerosis 2 (Tuberin) [12]/ Ras homolog enriched in brain (RHEB2)/ FK506 binding protein 12-rapamycin associated protein 1 (mTOR) / Ribosomal protein S6 kinase 70kDa polypeptide 1 and 2 (p70 S6 kinase1 and p70 S6 kinase2)/ Eukaryotic elongation factor-2 kinase (eEF2K)/ Eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2 (eEF2).

Also, mTOR activates Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) release from Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) that in turn activates group Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma (eIF4G1/3)/ Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A (eIF4A) [1], [10], [13]. PKC-delta seems participate in activation of mTOR and inhibition of 4E-BP1 [11]. PKC-delta phosphorylates 4E-BP1 synergistically with mTOR [14].

Moreover, Alpha-1A adrenergic receptor may participate in protein synthesis stimulation via Pyk2(FAK2)) / c-Src/ Phospholipase D1 and D2 pathway (PLD1 and PLD2) [15], [16]. PLD1 and PLD2 participate in production of Phosphatidic acid, which then activates mTOR, thus stimulating translation via eEF2 and/or eIF4A [13], [16].
