Roles of Arf6 in regulating GPCR endocytosis. Studies of β2AR indicated β-arrestin involvement in recruiting ARNO to convert GDP-bound Arf to the GTP-bound form. GTP-bound Arf6 regulates different routes of receptor endocytosis. For example, by recruiting NM23-H1, Arf6 converts GDP-dynamin to GTP-dynamin to enhance receptor endocytosis. GTP-Arf6 activates PI(4)P5K to convert PI(4)P to PI(4,5)P2. Arf6 protein also can activate PI4K to convert PI to PI(4)P. Additionally, GTP-Arf6 activates PLD2 to produce PA.
