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 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 ...
متن کاملThe human G protein beta 3 subunit GNB3 825T polymorphism.
Meirhaeghe et al. recently showed that the T allele of a C vs T exchange at position 825 of the gene encoding for the beta3 subunit of heterotrimeric G proteins (GNB3) is associated with enhanced coronary constriction after intracoronary administration of methylergonovine. The 825T allele has also been shown to be associated with an enhanced response after activation of G protein coupled recept...
متن کاملProtein design is a key factor for subunit-subunit association.
Fundamental questions about role of the quaternary structures are addressed by using a statistical mechanics off-lattice model of a dimer protein. The model, in spite of its simplicity, captures key features of the monomer-monomer interactions revealed by atomic force experiments. Force curves during association and dissociation processes are characterized by sudden jumps followed by smooth beh...
متن کاملOocyte maturation in starfish is mediated by the beta gamma-subunit complex of a G-protein
The stimulation of meiotic maturation of starfish oocytes by the hormone 1-methyladenine is mimicked by injection of beta gamma subunits of G-proteins from either retina or brain. Conversely, the hormone response is inhibited by injection of the GDP-bound forms of alpha i1 or alpha t subunits, or by injection of phosducin; all of these proteins should bind free beta gamma. alpha-subunit forms w...
