High impact information on beta-arrestin

  • ARR-1 is primarily expressed in the nervous system, including the HSN neuron and various chemosensory neurons involved in detecting soluble and volatile odorants. arr-1 null mutants exhibit normal chemotaxis but have significant defects in olfactory adaptation and recovery to volatile odorants [1].
  • Overexpression of a dominant-negative dynamin mutant (DynK44A), but not of a dominant-negative beta-arrestin mutant (Arr319-418), substantially inhibited carbachol-induced internalization of GAR-3 [2].
