Allosteric mechanisms underlie GPCR signaling to SH3-domain proteins through arrestin, Published online: 17 August 2018; doi:10.1038/s41589-018-0115-3

NMR and in vitro reconstitution indicate that GPCRs signal through SH3-containing proteins downstream of β-arrestin 1 proline regions and that arrestin allosterically activates downstream kinases by disrupting their autoinhibitory conformation.
