The canonical paradigm of GPCR signaling recognizes G proteins and β-arrestins as the two primary transducers that promote GPCR signaling. Recent evidence suggests the atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3) does not couple to G proteins, and β-arrestins are dispensable for some of its functions. Here, we employed proximity labeling to identify proteins that interact with ACKR3 in cells devoid of β-arrestin. We identified proteins involved in the endocytic machinery and evaluated a subset of proteins conserved across several GPCR-based proximity labeling experiments. We discovered that the bone morphogenic protein 2-inducible kinase (BMP2K) interacts with many different GPCRs with varying dependency on β-arrestin. Together, our work highlights the existence of modulators that can act independently of G proteins and β-arrestins to regulate GPCR signaling and provides important evidence for other targets that may regulate GPCR signaling.
