At neuronal synapses, activation of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR1/5) triggers a form of long-term depression (mGluR-LTD) that relies on new protein synthesis and the internalization of AMPA-type glutamate receptors. Dysregulation of these processes has been implicated in the devel...
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlus) modulate synaptic transmission in the central nervous system, while β-arrestins (βarrs) mediate the desensitization and internalization of activated mGlus. We report two structures of the metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 3 (mGlu3) coupled to βarr1 with...
