Loops and Turn

Small loops with regular hydrogen bond pattern and specific dihedral angles are termed as turns

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

Activation of β-adrenergic receptors causes activation of C subunits of PKA which phosphorylate PDE, stimulating its catalytic activity.

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

β-Arrestin (Arr) binds to these phosphorylated receptors. Clathrin and AP2, two other proteins bound by β-arrestin, promote endocytosis of the receptor.

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

GRK–β-arrestin pathway, suppress signaling by GPCRs, actually functions as a switch, turning off signaling by G proteins and turning on other signaling pathways.
