Popis: β-Arrestins are multifunctional adaptors that mediate the desensitization, internalization, and some signaling functions of seven-transmembrane receptors (7TMRs). Agonist-stimulated ubiquitination of β-arrestin2 mediated by the E3 ubiquitin ligase Mdm2 is critical for rapid β 2 -adrenergic receptor (β 2 AR) internalization. We now report the discovery that the deubiquitinating enzyme ubiquitin-specific protease 33 (USP33) binds β-arrestin2 and leads to the deubiquitination of β-arrestins. USP33 and Mdm2 function reciprocally and favor respectively the stability or lability of the receptor β-arrestin complex, thus regulating the longevity and subcellular localization of receptor signalosomes. Receptors such as the β 2 AR, previously shown to form loose complexes with β-arrestin (“class A”) promote a β-arrestin conformation conducive for binding to the deubiquitinase, whereas the vasopressin V2R, which forms tight β-arrestin complexes (“class B”), promotes a distinct β-arrestin conformation that favors dissociation of the enzyme. Thus, USP33–β-arrestin interaction is a key regulatory step in 7TMR trafficking and signal transmission from the activated receptors to downstream effectors.
