Journal ArticleDOI

Gβγ interactions with PH domains and Ras-MAPK signaling pathways

TL;DR: The βγ-subunit complex of G proteins mediates many of the functions associated with G-protein-coupled receptor signaling and may even provide a means to link G proteins to RTK-initiated cascades.
Journal ArticleDOI

β-Arrestin-dependent Constitutive Internalization of the Human Chemokine Decoy Receptor D6

TL;DR: D6 may be considered a decoy receptor structurally adapted to perform chemokine scavenging, and this scavenging activity is mediated by continuous internalization and constant surface expression of the receptor, a process involving the clathrin-coated pit-dependent pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

β1-Adrenergic Receptor Association with PSD-95 INHIBITION OF RECEPTOR INTERNALIZATION AND FACILITATION OF β1-ADRENERGIC RECEPTOR INTERACTION WITHN-METHYL-d-ASPARTATE RECEPTORS

TL;DR: Data reveal that PSD-95 is a specificβ1AR binding partner that modulates β1AR function and facilitates physical association of the β1 AR with synaptic proteins, such as theN-methyl-d-aspartate receptors, which are known to be regulated by β1ar stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Receptor-specific Ubiquitination of β-Arrestin Directs Assembly and Targeting of Seven-transmembrane Receptor Signalosomes

TL;DR: Shenoy et al. as discussed by the authors showed that lysines at positions 11 and 12 in β-arrestin2 are specific and required sites for its AngII-mediated sustained ubiquitination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relative opioid efficacy is determined by the complements of the G protein-coupled receptor desensitization machinery.

TL;DR: A rationale is presented to explain the seemingly paradoxical relationship between beta-arrestins and microOR regulation wherein morphine-like agonists fail to promote efficient internalization and resensitization of the receptor.
