Crystal structure of rhodopsin bound to arrestin by femtosecond X-ray laser

TL;DR: The crystal structure of a constitutively active form of human rhodopsin bound to a pre-activated form of the mouse visual arrestin is determined by serial femtosecond X-ray laser crystallography and provides a basis for understanding GPCR-mediated arrestin-biased signalling.

Cryo-EM structure of human rhodopsin bound to an inhibitory G protein

TL;DR: It is shown that the major interactions between activated rhodopsin and Gi are mediated by the C-terminal helix of the Gi α-subunit, which is wedged into the cytoplasmic cavity of the transmembrane helix bundle and directly contacts the amino terminus of helix 8 of rhodopin.
