β-arrestins (βarrs) are multifunctional proteins that interact with activated and phosphorylated G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to regulate their signaling and trafficking. Understanding the intricate details of GPCR-βarr interaction continues to be a key research area in the field of GPCR biology. Bimane fluorescence spectroscopy has been one of the key approaches among a broad range of methods employed to study GPCR-βarr interaction using purified and reconstituted system. Here, we present a step-by-step protocol for labeling βarrs with monobromobimane (mBBr) in a site-directed fashion for measuring their interaction with GPCRs and the resulting conformational changes. This simple protocol can be directly applied to other protein-protein interaction modules as well for measuring interactions and conformational changes in reconstituted systems in vitro.
β-arrestins(βarrs)是多功能蛋白,可与激活和磷酸化的 G 蛋白偶联受体(GPCR)相互作用,调节它们的信号转导和运输。了解 GPCR-βarr 相互作用的复杂细节仍然是 GPCR 生物学领域的一个关键研究领域。双马来酰亚胺荧光光谱法是广泛应用于使用纯化和重组系统研究 GPCR-βarr 相互作用的方法之一。在这里,我们提供了一种逐步方案,用于以定点方式标记βarrs 与单溴代双马来酰亚胺(mBBr),以测量它们与 GPCR 的相互作用以及由此产生的构象变化。这个简单的方案也可以直接应用于其他蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用模块,用于测量体外重组系统中的相互作用和构象变化。
