On the origins of arrestin and rhodopsin [PDF]
Background G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most numerous proteins in mammalian genomes, and the most common targets of clinical drugs. However, their evolution remains enigmatic.

GRKs and β-Arrestins: “Gatekeepers” of Mitochondrial Function in the Failing Heart
Mitochondrial regulation of energy production, calcium homeostasis, and cell death are critical for cardiac function. Accordingly, the structural and functional abnormalities of these organelles (mitochondrial dysfunction) contribute to developing ...

Light intensity-dependent arrestin switching for inactivation of a light-sensitive GPCR, bistable opsin [PDF]
Summary: Inactivation of most light-sensitive G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) opsins involves arrestin binding to terminate cell responses. In the zebrafish pineal organ, UV sensitive parapinopsin 1 (PP1)-expressing cells exhibit color opponency ...

Historical Perspective of the G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase Family
Agonist activation of G protein-coupled receptors promotes sequential interaction of the receptor with heterotrimeric G proteins, G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs), and arrestins. GRKs play a central role in mediating the switch from G protein to

The arrestin superfamily: cone arrestins are a fourth family [PDF]
Arrestins constitute a superfamily of regulatory proteins that down‐regulate phosphorylated G‐protein membrane receptors, including rod and cone photoreceptors and adrenergic receptors. The potential role of arrestin in color visual processes led us to identify a cDNA encoding a cone‐like arrestin in Xenopus laevis, the principle amphibian biological ...

Programmed cell death (apoptosis) is a coordinated set of events eventually leading to the massive activation of specialized proteases (caspases) that cleave numerous substrates, orchestrating fairly uniform biochemical changes than culminate in cellular suicide. Apoptosis can be triggered by a variety of stimuli, from external signals or growth factor
