Alpha-arrestin involved in ubiquitin-dependent endocytosis; contributes to desensitization of agonist-occupied alpha-factor receptor Ste2p by Rsp5p-independent internalization; PPXY motif-mediated binding of the ubiquitin ligase Rsp5p is not required for adaptation; mutation suppresses the temperature sensitivity of an mck1 rim11 double mutant; SWAT-GFP and mCherry fusion proteins localize to the cytosol; ROG3 has a paralog, ROD1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
