Title β-Arrestin 1 inhibits the GTPase-activating protein function of ARHGAP21, promoting activation of RhoA following angiotensin II type 1A receptor stimulation
Summary Using information gleaned from a peptide array, we developed a cell-permeant peptide that serves to inhibit the interaction of these proteins. Using this peptide, we demonstrate that disruption of the β-arrestin 1/ARHGAP21 complex results in a more active ARHGAP21, leading to less-efficient signaling via the angiotensin II type 1A receptor and, thereby, attenuation of stimulated stress fiber formation.
