β-arrestin1 directly engages Gαs to sustain endosomal GPCR signaling

β-arrestin1 acts as a positive regulator that holds Gαs in a signaling-competent state, providing a unifying structural basis for sustained endosomal GPCR signaling.

Structural basis for small-molecule agonism at GCGR and GIPR via a conserved intracellular allosteric site.

Findings reveal a conserved intracellular allosteric activation mechanism across multiple class B GPCRs and identify SIM1 and its analogs as valuable chemical tools for investigating receptor-specific intracellular allosteric regulation and G protein-preferential signaling.

Molecular principles for graded activation of dopamine D1 receptor

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) signal across a continuum of activation states, yet how ligands encode distinct signaling efficacies remains poorly understood. Here, we define the molecular mechanism underlying graded activation of the dopamine D1 receptor (D1R), a major therapeutic target for neuropsychiatric diso...
