β-Arrestins are known to regulate G protein signaling through interactions with their downstream effectors. Here, we report that β-arrestin1 associates with the G protein β1γ2 subunits in transfected cells, and purified β-arrestin1 interacts with Gβ1γ2 derived from in vitro translation. Deletion mutagenesis of β-arrestin1 led to the identification of a region, comprising amino acids 181-280, as being responsible for its interaction with Gβ1γ2. Overexpression of β-arrestin1 facilitates Gβ1γ2-mediated Akt phosphorylation, and inhibition of endogenous β-arrestin1 expression by small interfering RNA (siRNA) diminishes this effect. Through investigation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), a transcription factor regulated by Akt signaling, we have found that overexpression of β-arrestin1 significantly enhances Gβ1γ2-mediated nuclear translocation of NF-κB proteins and expression of a NF-κB-directed luciferase reporter. Overexpression of β-arrestin1 also promotes bradykinin-induced, Gβγ-mediated NF-κB luciferase reporter expression, which is reverted by silencing the endogenous β-arrestin1 with a specific siRNA. These results identify novel functions of β-arrestin1 in binding to the β1γ2 subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins and promoting Gβγ-mediated Akt signaling for NF-κB activation.
