Scientific summary

G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), the largest family of membrane receptors, are implicated in a wide range of human diseases. Signal outputs resulting from their activation depend on their subcellular location and their local interacting partners, among which beta-arrestins (barrs) play a major role. Our project focuses on emerging paradigms of regulated GPGR and barr subcellular trafficking, from mechanistic molecular aspects to physiology and pathology.

The principal specific aims of our project are (Project Leaders):
-Deciphering cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in regulated GPCR export to the cell surface; pathophysiological implications (S Marullo)
-Investigating molecular basis of the interaction between pathogens and receptors for cell adhesion and signaling (S Marullo)
-Exploring mechanisms and functions of the nuclear trafficking of the regulatory scaffolding proteins barrs (H Enslen, M Scott)
-Deciphering new GPCR/barr-dependent mechanisms that regulate cell adhesion (H Enslen)
-Studying GPCR/barr-dependent mechanisms that regulate the anti-oncogenic PTEN phosphatase functions (M Scott)
