Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are prototypical, dimeric family C G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) that perform crucial modulatory roles throughout the nervous system. While mGluR activation and signaling through G proteins has been studied extensively, how these receptors interact with and are desensitize...

A single molecule pulldown (SiMPull) assay is developed that reports on both relative GPCR:β-arr interaction strength and stoichiometry to uncover molecular diversity in β-arr coupling to the neuromodulatory metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), prototypical, dimeric family C GPCRs.

These findings show how acquisition of transient secondary structure within an intrinsically disordered region can generate new molecular behaviors while preserving ancestral functions, providing a mechanism for the functional specialization of paralogous proteins.
