Gravin (AKAP12) is a membrane-associated scaffold that provides docking for protein kinases, phosphatases, and adaptor molecules obligate for resensitization and recycling of ₂-adrenergic receptors. Gravin binds to the cell membrane in a Ca²⁺-sensitive manner and to receptors through well characterized protein-protein interactions. Although the interaction of serine/threonine, cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase with protein kinase A-anchoring proteins is well described and involves a kinase regulatory subunit binding domain in the C terminus of these proteins, far less is known about tyrosine kinase docking to members of this family of scaffolds. The non-receptor tyrosine kinase Src regulates resensitization of ₂-adrenergic receptors and docks to gravin. Gravin displays nine proline-rich domains distributed throughout the molecule. One class I ligand for Src homology domain 3 docking, found in the N terminus (¹⁰RXPXXP¹⁵) of gravin, is shown to bind Src. Binding of Src to gravin activates the intrinsic tyrosine kinase of Src. Mutagenesis/deletion of the class I ligand (P15A,P16A) on the N terminus of gravin abolishes both the docking of Src to gravin as well as the receptor resensitization and recycling catalyzed by gravin. The Src-binding peptide-(1–51) of gravin behaves as a dominant-negative for AKAP gravin regulation of receptor resensitization/recycling. The tyrosine kinase Src plays an essential role in the AKAP gravin-mediated receptor resensitization and recycling, an essential aspect of receptor biology.
