    摘要: Methods of detecting G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activity in vitro and in vivo are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes providing at least one cell that expresses a GPCR and a plurality of conjugated proteins. Each of the plurality of conjugated proteins is formed by conjugating an arrestin protein and a detectable molecule. The plurality of conjugated proteins are substantially evenly distributed in the cytoplasm of the at least one cell. A first image of the at least one cell is obtained by detecting an amount of energy emitted from the detectable molecules and storing a value relative to the amount of energy. The at least one cell is treated with an agonist. A second image of the at least one cell is obtained. The first image and the second image are compared to detect the localization of at least some of the plurality of conjugated proteins at endocytic vesicles and/or endosomes.

    摘要: The present invention relates to agonist-independent methods of screening for compounds that alter GPCR desensitization. Included in the present invention are cell lines containing GRKs, in which GPCRs are desensitized in the absence of agonist; the GRKs may be modified. The present invention relates to methods to determine if a GPCR is expressed at the plasma membrane, and if the GPCR has an affinity for arrestin. Modified GPCRs which have increased arrestin affinity are included in the present invention. These modified GPCRs are useful in methods to screen for compounds that alter desensitization, including both the agonist-independent methods and agonist-dependent methods described herein.
