This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859), supports research focused on understanding the mechanisms of alpha-arrestin-mediated protein trafficking in cells. The $376,902 award to the University of Pittsburgh aims to elucidate how alpha-arrestins, a class of trafficking adaptors, recognize cargo proteins and regulate their relocalization across diverse cellular membranes, including the Golgi and endosomes. The research will leverage innovative, systems-level approaches to define the cargo repertoire of alpha-arrestins, identify the molecular determinants for their cargo interactions and association with trafficking machinery, and investigate how cell signaling pathways control alpha-arrestin function and stability. The findings from this 5-year project are expected to provide a deep, mechanistic understanding of alpha-arrestin-mediated protein trafficking and its role in maintaining cellular homeostasis, which has implications for diseases linked to defects in protein trafficking adaptors.
