Structural biology

Active arrestin proteins crystallized

Nature volume 497, pages 45–46 (2013)Cite this article

Subjects

Arrestin proteins regulate cellular signalling cascades initiated by ubiquitous G-protein-coupled receptors. Crystal structures reveal that two arrestins undergo similar structural changes on activation. See Letters p.137 & p.142
