A G-protein beta-subunit is essential for Dictyostelium development.
Recent studies have demonstrated that G-protein-linked signal transduction pathways play a significant role in the developmental program of the simple eukaryotic organism Dictyostelium. We have reported previously the isolation of a G-protein beta-subunit and present here a more complete analysis of this gene. Low-stringency Southern blots and RFLP mapping studies suggest that the beta-subunit ...
متن کاملThe G protein beta subunit is essential for multiple responses to chemoattractants in Dictyostelium
Increasing evidence suggests that the beta gamma-subunit dimers of heterotrimeric G proteins play a pivotal role in transducing extracellular signals. The recent construction of G beta null mutants (g beta-) in Dictyostelium provides a unique opportunity to study the role of beta gamma dimers in signaling processes mediated by chemoattractant receptors. We have shown previously that g beta- cel...
متن کاملG-Protein beta(3) subunit gene variant and left ventricular hypertrophy in essential hypertension.
A functional genetic variant consisting of a C825T substitution in the GNB3 gene, encoding for the G-protein beta(3) subunit, has been associated with enhanced G-protein activation and cell growth. The aim of the study was to investigate the association of this polymorphism with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in a sample of patients with essential hypertension. Left ventricular mass was ass...
متن کاملG protein beta 3 subunit gene variants and essential hypertension in the northern Chinese Han population.
Recently a novel C825T polymorphism in the G protein beta3 subunit gene was identified that showed an association with hypertension in a German population; the results of studies in other populations have been inconsistent. To examine the contribution of GNB3 polymorphisms to the development of hypertension in the northern Chinese Han population, we conducted a case-control study consisting of ...
متن کاملThe RAM1 gene encoding a protein-farnesyltransferase beta-subunit homologue is essential in Cryptococcus neoformans.
Many small G proteins require post-translational modification to allow functional association to the cell membrane. This process often involves the enzymic addition of hydrophobic prenyl groups to a conserved cysteine residue near the C-terminus of the protein. The enzymes that catalyse these reactions include protein farnesyltransferase and protein geranylgeranyltransferases. The human fungal ...
