ClickArr: a novel, high-throughput assay for evaluating β-arrestin isoform recruitment [PDF]
Background: Modern methods for quantifying signaling bias at G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) rely on using a single β-arrestin isoform. However, it is increasingly appreciated that the two β-arrestin isoforms have unique roles, requiring the ability ...

The β-blocker Nebivolol Is a GRK/β-arrestin Biased Agonist [PDF]
Nebivolol, a third generation β-adrenoceptor (β-AR) antagonist (β-blocker), causes vasodilation by inducing nitric oxide (NO) production. The mechanism via which nebivolol induces NO production remains unknown, resulting in the genesis of much of the ...

CXCR7 controls competition for recruitment of β-arrestin 2 in cells expressing both CXCR4 and CXCR7. [PDF]
Chemokine CXCL12 promotes growth and metastasis of more than 20 different human cancers, as well as pathogenesis of other common diseases. CXCL12 binds two different receptors, CXCR4 and CXCR7, both of which recruit and signal through the cytosolic ...

Targeted disruption of β-arrestin 2-mediated signaling pathways by aptamer chimeras leads to inhibition of leukemic cell growth. [PDF]
β-arrestins, ubiquitous cellular scaffolding proteins that act as signaling mediators of numerous critical cellular pathways, are attractive therapeutic targets because they promote tumorigenesis in several tumor models.
