Distinct cellular and subcellular distributions of G protein-coupled receptor kinase and arrestin isoforms in the striatum. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) and arrestins mediate desensitization of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR). Arrestins also mediate G protein-independent signaling via GPCRs.

Mammalian α arrestins link activated seven transmembrane receptors to Nedd4 family e3 ubiquitin ligases and interact with β arrestins. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The complement of fungal cell surface proteins is widely regulated by ubiquitination of membrane proteins, which results in their endocytosis and vacuolar degradation.

Ubiquitin-Mediated Regulation of Endocytosis by Proteins of the Arrestin Family

open access: yesBiochemistry Research International, 2012
In metazoans, proteins of the arrestin family are key players of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRS) signaling and trafficking. Following stimulation, activated receptors are phosphorylated, thus allowing the binding of arrestins and hence an “arrest” of

β-Arrestin-dependent and -independent endosomal G protein activation by the vasopressin type 2 receptor

open access: yeseLife, 2023
The vasopressin type 2 receptor (V2R) is an essential G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) in renal regulation of water homeostasis. Upon stimulation, the V2R activates Gαs and Gαq/11, which is followed by robust recruitment of β-arrestins and receptor ...

Distinct G protein-coupled receptor phosphorylation motifs modulate arrestin affinity and activation and global conformation

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
The cellular functions of arrestins are determined in part by the pattern of phosphorylation on the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to which arrestins bind.

Distinct and shared roles of β-arrestin-1 and β-arrestin-2 on the regulation of C3a receptor signaling in human mast cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
The complement component C3a induces degranulation in human mast cells via the activation of cell surface G protein coupled receptors (GPCR; C3aR).

Quantification of beta adrenergic receptor subtypes in beta-arrestin knockout mouse airways. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
In allergic asthma Beta 2 adrenergic receptors (β2ARs) are important mediators of bronchorelaxation and, paradoxically, asthma development. This contradiction is likely due to the activation of dual signaling pathways that are downstream of G proteins or

Differential Involvement of ACKR3 C-Tail in β-Arrestin Recruitment, Trafficking and Internalization

open access: yesCells, 2021
Background: The atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3) belongs to the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Unlike classical GPCRs, this receptor does not activate G proteins in most cell types but recruits β-arrestins upon activation. ACKR3

To Be Biased or Not to Be: A Play for G-Protein Coupled Receptors

open access: yesInternational Journal of Translational Medicine
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of diverse receptors in eukaryotic organisms, playing a critical role in modulating human physiology. It therefore comes as no surprise that about 36% of all currently available drugs target this
