The arrestin clan can now be broadly divided into three structurally similar subgroups: the originally identified arrestins (visual and β-arrestins), the α-arrestins and a group of Vps26-related proteins. The visual and β-arrestins selectively bind to agonist-occupied phosphorylated G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and inhibit GPCR coupling to heterotrimeric G proteins while the β-arrestins also function as adaptor proteins to regulate GPCR trafficking and G protein-independent signaling. The α-arrestins have also recently been implicated in regulating GPCR trafficking while Vps26 regulates retrograde trafficking. In this review, we provide an overview of the α-arrestins and β-arrestins with a focus on our current understanding of how these adaptor proteins regulate GPCR trafficking.
现在可以将 arrestin 家族大致分为三个结构相似的亚群:最初确定的 arrestin(视觉和β-arrestin)、α-arrestin 和一组与 Vps26 相关的蛋白质。视觉和β-arrestin 选择性地结合到激动剂占据的磷酸化 G 蛋白偶联受体 (GPCR) 上,并抑制 GPCR 与异三聚体 G 蛋白的偶联,而β-arrestin 还作为衔接蛋白来调节 GPCR 运输和 G 蛋白独立信号转导。最近,α-arrestin 也被牵涉到调节 GPCR 运输,而 Vps26 调节逆行运输。在这篇综述中,我们提供了α-arrestin 和 β-arrestin 的概述,重点介绍了这些衔接蛋白如何调节 GPCR 运输。
