Phosducin is a ubiquitous G-protein regulator.
Phosducin is a 33-kDa cytosolic regulator of G-protein-mediated signaling that has previously been thought to be specific for retina and pineal gland. In this study, we show widespread tissue distribution of phosducin by the amplification of its cDNA and the detection of two different transcripts in Northern analyses in liver, lung, heart, brain, and retina. On the protein level, phosducin coul...
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...
متن کاملInhibition of G-protein 13y-subunit functions by phosducin-like protein
Phosducin is a cytosolic protein predominantly expressed in the retina and the pineal gland that can interact with the fty subunits of guanine nucleotide binding proteins (G proteins) and thereby may regulate transmembrane signaling. A cDNA encoding a phosducin-like protein (PhLP) has recently been isolated from rat brain [Miles, M. F., Barhite, S., Sganga, M. & Elliott, M. (1993) Proc. Nati. A...
متن کاملA 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 کاملSmall Molecule Disruption of G Protein Subunit Signaling Inhibits Neutrophil Chemotaxis and Inflammation
G protein subunit-dependent signaling is important for chemoattractant-dependent leukocyte chemotaxis. Selective small molecule targeting of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) catalytic activity is a target of interest for anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical development. In this study, we examined whether small-molecule inhibition of G -dependent signaling, including G -dependent activation of...
