Proteins that reside in the endoplasmic reticulum, such as the dopamine receptor-associated DRiP78 protein (shown in red) are being increasingly discovered as essential for the transport of G protein-coupled receptors through the Golgi apparatus (green) and to their destinations at the cell surface. [Reprinted with permission from Nature Cell Biology.]
Intracellular accessory proteins can be critical for G proteincoupled receptor (GPCR) biogenesis, including aspects of GPCR trafficking. Recent discoveries include the identification of multiple membrane-associated proteins that dictate not only the intracellular sequestration and/or transport of GPCRs, but also modulatequite dramaticallyGPCR ligand specificity subsequent to delivery to the cell surface. These exciting discoveries have shifted earlier paradigms of GPCR functionality.
