Guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor activity of the triple GoLoco motif protein G18: alanine-to-aspartate mutation restores function to an inactive second GoLoco motif.
GoLoco ('Galpha(i/o)-Loco' interaction) motif proteins have recently been identified as novel GDIs (guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitors) for heterotrimeric G-protein alpha subunits. G18 is a member of the mammalian GoLoco-motif gene family and was uncovered by analyses of human and mouse genomes for anonymous open-reading frames. The encoded G18 polypeptide is predicted to contain three ...
متن کاملDoes WAVE1 contain a GoLoco/GPR motif?
Heterotrimeric G-protein alpha subunits (Gα) are molecular switches regulated by the binding and hydrolysis of guanosine 5-triphosphate [1]. Non-receptor proteins that modulate the nucleotide binding and hydrolysis activities of Gα proteins have recently become of considerable interest [2, 3]. One class of Gα modulating proteins is defined by the presence of a GoLoco motif(s) in their primary s...
متن کاملGoLoco motif proteins binding to Gαi1: insights from molecular simulations
Molecular dynamics simulations, computational alanine scanning and sequence analysis were used to investigate the structural properties of the Galpha(i1)/GoLoco peptide complex. Using these methodologies, binding of the GoLoco motif peptide to the Galpha(i1) subunit was found to restrict the relative movement of the helical and catalytic domains in the Galpha(i1) subunit, which is in agreement ...
متن کاملLocalization of the GoLoco motif carrier regulator of G-protein signalling 12 and 14 proteins in monkey and rat brain.
Regulator of G-protein signalling (RGS)12 and -14 proteins possess the RGS domain, Ras-binding domains and the GoLoco motif. Emerging evidence suggests that these proteins are involved in several cellular functions in addition to stimulation of GTPase activity of G-protein alpha subunits. However, our understanding of the role of the two proteins in brain function remains marginal. Here, we hav...
متن کاملStructural determinants of affinity enhancement between GoLoco motifs and G-protein alpha subunit mutants.
GoLoco motif proteins bind to the inhibitory G(i) subclass of G-protein α subunits and slow the release of bound GDP; this interaction is considered critical to asymmetric cell division and neuro-epithelium and epithelial progenitor differentiation. To provide protein tools for interrogating the precise cellular role(s) of GoLoco motif/Gα(i) complexes, we have employed structure-based protein d...
