Biased signaling of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor can be mediated through distinct mechanisms. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Seven transmembrane receptors (7TMRs) can adopt different active conformations facilitating a selective activation of either G protein or β-arrestin-dependent signaling pathways.

β-arrestins and endocrine-related GPCRs

open access: yes, 2021
International audienceG protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) allow target cells to respond to a wide array of hormones. Mounting evidences point to GPCRs being functionally coupled to multiple transduction mechanisms, some of them not involving ...

β-arrestin1 and 2 exhibit distinct phosphorylation-dependent conformations when coupling to the same GPCR in living cells

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Here the authors present improved intramolecular sensors for β-arrestin2 and 1, which enable assessment of conformational changes of both isoforms in living cells.

Nedd4 E3 ligase and beta-arrestins regulate ubiquitination, trafficking, and stability of the mGlu7 receptor

open access: yeseLife, 2019
The metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 (mGlu7) is a class C G protein-coupled receptor that modulates excitatory neurotransmitter release at the presynaptic active zone. Although post-translational modification of cellular proteins with ubiquitin is a key

β-Arrestin-Mediated Signaling Improves the Efficacy of Therapeutics

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012
β-Arrestins (β-arrestin-1 and β-arrestin-2) were first identified as proteins that have the ability to desensitize G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). However, it has recently been found that β-arrestins can activate signaling pathways independent of G ...

G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase 2 Selectively Enhances β-Arrestin Recruitment to the D2 Dopamine Receptor through Mechanisms That Are Independent of Receptor Phosphorylation

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
The D2 dopamine receptor (D2R) signals through both G proteins and β-arrestins to regulate important physiological processes, such as movement, reward circuitry, emotion, and cognition.

Homo- and Hetero-oligomerization of β-Arrestins in Living Cells

open access: yes, 2005
International audienceArrestins are important proteins, which regulate the function of serpentine heptahelical receptors and contribute to multiple signaling pathways downstream of receptors.

A lipidated peptide derived from the C-terminal tail of the vasopressin 2 receptor shows promise as a new β-arrestin inhibitor

open access: yesPharmacological Research
β-arrestins play pivotal roles in seven transmembrane receptor (7TMR) signalling and trafficking. To study their functional role in regulating specific receptor systems, current research relies mainly on genetic tools, as few pharmacological options are ...

Single‐Cell Transcriptomics and Metabolomics Reveal Glutamate Dehydrogenase as a Central Regulator of Nitrogen Metabolic Remodeling During Alkalinity Adaptation in Crustaceans

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell transcriptomics reveals the cellular response of Macrobrachium hainanense to carbonate alkalinity stress. Alkalinity stress impairs branchial ammonia excretion, induces mitochondrial dysfunction, and drives cell‐type‐specific changes in gills and hemocytes.

β-Arrestin-Dependent Dopaminergic Regulation of Calcium Channel Activity in the Axon Initial Segment

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) initiate a variety of signaling cascades, depending on effector coupling. β-arrestins, which were initially characterized by their ability to “arrest” GPCR signaling by uncoupling receptor and G protein, have recently ...
