Description:
beta-Arrestins have important roles in the regulation of seven-transmembrane receptors (7TMRs). Smoothened (Smo) is a 7TMR that mediates effects of Hedgehog on developmental processes and whose dysregulation may cause tumorigenesis. beta-Arrestins are required for endocytosis of Smo and signaling to Gli transcription factors. In mammalian cells, Smo-dependent signaling requires translocation to primary cilia. We demonstrated that beta-arrestins mediate the activity-dependent interaction of Smo and the kinesin motor protein Kif3A. This multimeric complex localized to primary cilia and was disrupted in cells transfected with beta-arrestin small interfering RNA. beta-Arrestin 1 or beta-arrestin 2 depletion prevented the localization of Smo to primary cilia and the Smo-dependent activation of Gli. These results suggest roles for beta-arrestins in mediating the intracellular transport of a 7TMR to its obligate subcellular location for signaling.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2587210/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2587210/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kovacs, Jeffrey J -- Whalen, Erin J -- Liu, Renshui -- Xiao, Kunhong -- Kim, Jihee -- Chen, Minyong -- Wang, Jiangbo -- Chen, Wei -- Lefkowitz, Robert J -- 5R01 CA113656-02/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- 5T32 AI007217-25/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- HL16037/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL70631/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA113656/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA113656-02/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA113656-03/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL016037/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL016037-35/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL070631/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL070631-04/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- T32 AI007217/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32 AI007217-25/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32 AI007217-26/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2008 Jun 27;320(5884):1777-81. doi: 10.1126/science.1157983.
