Abstract ß-Arrestin1 knockout mice were studied to define the physiological role of ß-arrestin1 in the regulation of G protein–coupled receptors. ß-Arrestin1 is thought to be involved in the desensitization of many G protein–associated cell surface receptors, particularly ß-adrenergic receptors. Homozygous knockout mice are overtly normal. Resting cardiovascular parameters modulated by ß-adrenergic receptors such as heart rate, blood pressure, and left ventricular ejection fraction are not changed. However, homozygous mutants are more sensitive to ß-receptor agonist–stimulated increases in ejection fraction, consistent with a role of ß-arrestin1 in ß-adrenergic receptor desensitization. We conclude that ß-arrestin1 is important for in vivo G protein–coupled receptor desensitization and that this aspect of desensitization represents a mechanism for fine-tuning responses. However, ß-arrestin1 does not appear to be required for development or for other essential biological functions.


Key Words: ß-arrestin1 • knockout mice • desensitization • G protein–coupled receptor
