Abstract
► We investigate the mechanism(s) by which caveolae compartmentalise β2-AR signalling. ► Disrupting caveolae reveals β2-AR cAMP signals in the PKA-RII compartment. ► Disrupting caveolae promotes a selective PKA-mediated phosphorylation of PLB. ► Phosphatases (PP) 1/2a (but not PDE 2/3/4) contribute to caveolar β2-AR compartmentation. ► We propose that intact caveolae attenuate cAMP production and limit inhibitory modulation of PP at the SR.
