A small molecule enhances arrestin-3 binding to the β2-adrenergic receptor

Abstract Excessive signaling by various GPCRs underlies a variety of human disorders. Suppression of GPCRs by “enhanced” arrestin mutants was proposed as therapy. We hypothesized that GPCR binding of endogenous arrestins can be increased by small molecules stabilizing pre-activated conformation. Usi...
