ACKR3 Regulation of Neuronal Migration Requires ACKR3 Phosphorylation, but Not β-Arrestin
Summary: Phosphorylation of heptahelical receptors is thought to regulate G protein signaling, receptor endocytosis, and non-canonical signaling via recruitment of β-arrestins.

Atypical Rho GTPases of the RhoBTB Subfamily: Roles in vesicle trafficking and tumorigenesis [PDF]
RhoBTB proteins constitute a subfamily of atypical Rho GTPases represented in mammals by RhoBTB1, RhoBTB2, and RhoBTB3. Their characteristic feature is a carboxyl terminal extension that harbors two BTB domains capable of assembling cullin 3-dependent ...

What doesn't kill you makes you stranger: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (CD26) proteolysis differentially modulates the activity of many peptide hormones and cytokines generating novel cryptic bioactive ligands [PDF]
Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is an exopeptidase found either on cell surfaces where it is highly regulated in terms of its expression and surface availability (CD26) or in a free/circulating soluble constitutively available and intrinsically active form.

CXCL12/SDF-1 from perisynaptic Schwann cells promotes regeneration of injured motor axonterminals [PDF]
The neuromuscular junction has retained through evolution the capacity to regenerate after damage, but little is known on the inter-cellular signals involved in its functional recovery from trauma, autoimmune attacks, or neurotoxins.

Atypical chemokine receptor 2: a brake against Kaposi's sarcoma aggressiveness [PDF]
Inflammatory chemokines are instrumental players in cancer-related inflammation contributing to numerous steps during tumor progression. In Kaposi's sarcoma, we have found that downregulation of the atypical chemokine receptor 2 (ACKR2) by the KRAS/BRAF/ERK pathway profoundly affects the tumor microenvironment, unleashing accumulation of tumor ...

Leukocyte functions are linked to their migratory responses, which, in turn, are largely determined by the expression profile of classical chemokine receptors.

Atypical chemokine receptors in cancer
Atypical chemokine receptors (ACKRs) are a group of seven-transmembrane spanning serpentine receptors that are structurally homologous to classical G-protein-coupled receptors and bind cognate chemokines with high affinities but do not signal via G-proteins or mediate cell migration.
