?-arrestins (?arrs) play multifaceted roles in the function of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). ?arrs typically interact with phosphorylated C-terminal tail (C tail) and transmembrane core (TM core) of GPCRs. However, the effects of the C tail- and TM core-mediated interactions on the conformational activation of ?arrs have remained elusive. Here, we show the conformational changes for ?arr activation upon the C tail- and TM core-mediated interactions with a prototypical GPCR by nuclear...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) span cell membranes with seven transmembrane helices and respond to a diverse array of extracellular signals. Crystal structures of GPCRs have provided key insights into the architecture of these receptors and the role of conserved residues. However, the question of how ligand binding induces the...

Abstract
Recent advances in G-protein-coupled receptor structural biology have provided only limited insight into the active conformations of these key signaling molecules. A paper from Nygaard et*al. reveals the dynamic nature of GPCRs along the activation pathway by complementing NMR experiments with ultralong-timescale molecular dynamics simulations.
