MRGPRX2 Is the Codeine Receptor of Human Skin Mast Cells: Desensitization through β-Arrestin and Lack of Correlation with the FcεRI Pathway

Magda Babina et al.

Summary: Codeine activates dermal mast cells through MRGPRX2 as its dominant receptor, with activation displaying individual variability and being subject to desensitization. Codeine-induced activation of MRGPRX2 leads to rapid internalization and E3-arrestin activation, suggesting a potential mechanism for refractoriness. Pre-stimulation with MRGPRX2 agonists results in cross desensitization, indicating a possible strategy to prevent severe pseudoallergic reactions.

Structural Basis of Arrestin Selectivity for Active Phosphorylated G Protein-Coupled Receptors

Preethi C. Karnam et al.

Summary: Arrestins are a small family of proteins that bind G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with high affinity to active phosphorylated GPCRs. They must have two sensors, which detect receptor-attached phosphates and the active receptor conformation independently, enabling transition into a high-affinity receptor-binding state. This transition involves a global conformational rearrangement that stabilizes the complex by bringing additional elements of the arrestin molecule in contact with a GPCR.
