Cellular functions of arrestins are determined in part by the pattern of phosphorylation on the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to which arrestins bind. Despite high-resolution structural data of arrestins bound to phosphorylated receptor C-termini, the functional role of each phosphorylation site remains obscure. Here, we employ a library of synthetic phosphopeptide analogues of the GPCR rhodopsin C-terminus and determine the ability of these peptides to bind and activate arrestins using a variety of biochemical and biophysical methods. We further characterize how these peptides modulate the conformation of arrestin 1 by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Our results indicate different functional classes of phosphorylation sites: {\textquoteleft}key sites{\textquoteright} required for arrestin binding and activation, an {\textquoteleft}inhibitory site{\textquoteright} that abrogates arrestin binding, and {\textquoteleft}modulator sites{\textquoteright} that influence the global conformation of arrestin. These functional motifs allow a better understanding of how different GPCR phosphorylation patterns might control how arrestin functions in the cell.
