Deskripsi

β-arrestins initially contact with the phosphorylated carboxyl-terminus of GPCRs before engaging with the GPCR core. Here, the authors use a chimeric GPCR partially and fully engaged with β-arrestin1 and show that the core interaction is dispensable for receptor endocytosis and signalling.
