Mechanism of beta-arrestin 1 mediated Src activation via Src SH3 domain revealed by cryo-electron microscopy.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Beta-arrestins (βarrs) are key regulators and transducers of G-protein coupled receptor signaling; however, little is known of how βarrs communicate with their downstream effectors. Here, we report the first structural insights into the fundamental mechanisms driving βarr-mediated signal transduction. Using cryo-electron microscopy, we elucidate how βarr1 recruits and activates the non-receptor tyrosine kinase Src, the first identified signaling partner of βarrs. βarr1 engages Src SH3 through two distinct sites, each employing a different recognition mechanism: a polyproline motif in the N-domain and a non-proline-based interaction in the central crest region. At both sites βarr1 interacts with the aromatic surface of SH3, disrupting the autoinhibited conformation of Src and directly triggering its allosteric activation. This structural evidence establishes βarr1 as an active regulatory protein rather than a passive scaffold and suggests a potentially general mechanism for βarr-mediated signaling across diverse effectors.
