The tumour suppressor PTEN (phosphatase and tensin deleted on chromosome 10) regulates major cellular functions via lipid phosphatase-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Despite its fundamental pathophysiological importance, how PTEN's cellular activity is regulated has only been partially elucidated. We report that the scaffolding proteins β-arrestins (β-arrs) are important regulators of PTEN. Downstream of receptor-activated RhoA/ROCK signalling, β-arrs activate the lipid phosphatase activi ...[more]
