Carboxyl methylation and COOH-terminal processing of the brain G-protein gamma-subunit.
The enzymatic methylation of the guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins) gamma-subunit was investigated in brain membranes. Brain membranes were methylated in vitro using [3H-methyl]S-adenosylmethionine, and the G-protein beta gamma-complex was purified using an anti-beta antibody to assay for the protein during purification. The isolated G-protein beta gamma-complex was found to be ca...
متن کاملA carboxyl-terminal tail peptide of neutrophil chemotactic receptor disrupts its physical complex with G protein.
The binding of G protein to the N-formyl peptide receptor of human neutrophils was investigated with site-specific synthetic peptides. Peptide CT336(322) (322RALTEDSTQTSDTAT336) from the carboxyl-terminal tail region of the receptor competed with the receptor for binding to bovine Gi protein. The peptide competition was assayed by dissociation of a GTP-sensitive, rapidly sedimenting (7S) form o...
متن کاملProtein carboxyl methylation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: evidence for STE14-dependent and STE14-independent pathways.
We incubated yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) with the methyl donor S-adenosyl-L-[methyl-3H]methionine and then fractionated their cellular components by gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. By analyzing gel slices for [3H]methyl esters by a vapor-phase diffusion assay, we detect major methyl-esterified species that migrate at apparent polypeptide sizes of 24 and 22 kDa and mino...
متن کاملConformational changes at the carboxyl terminus of Galpha occur during G protein activation.
To understand the dynamics of conformational changes during G protein activation, surface exposed cysteine residues on Galpha were fluorescently labeled. Limited trypsinolysis and mutational analysis of recombinant Galphat/Galphai1 determined that two cysteines are the major fluorescent labeling sites, Cys210, located in the switch II region, and Cys347 at the C terminus. Mutants with serines r...
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...
