“…A better interaction with -arrestin2 over -arrestin1 has been observed for many GPCRs, and these are called class A GPCRs, whereas class B receptors do bind equally well to both -arrestins (and also to visual arrestins; Oakley et al, 2000). BRET-based assays for the GPCR/-arrestin interaction are so robust that they are suitable for high-throughput screening (Bertrand et al, 2002;Hamdan et al, 2005), and they have been developed for many receptors (e.g., chemokine, opiate, dopamine, and prostanoid receptors) (Hamdan et al, 2005;Qiu et al, 2007;Coulon et al, 2008;Klewe et al, 2008;Masri et al, 2008;Leduc et al, 2009). The assays also revealed that receptors that undergo -arrestinindependent internalization, such as the gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor, also did not show receptor/-arrestin BRET signals (Kroeger et al, 2001).…”
