Heterotrimeric G protein signaling in the Arabidopsis unfolded protein response.
We present evidence that heterotrimeric G protein signaling is involved in cell death associated with the unfolded protein response (UPR) in Arabidopsis. Seedlings of homozygous agb1-2 (Gbeta-null mutation) mutant plants are markedly more resistant to growth inhibition by the protein glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin (Tm) than either wild-type plants or gpa1-4 (Galpha-null mutation) mutants. ...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Arabidopsis heterotrimeric G protein.
We have used fluorescence resonance energy transfer and co-immunoprecipitation to analyze the interactions among the alpha, beta, and gamma1 subunits of the Arabidopsis heterotrimeric G protein. Using cyan and yellow fluorescent protein fusion constructs, we show that overexpressed Ggamma1 localizes to protoplast membranes, but Gbeta exhibits membrane localization only when the Ggamma1 protein ...
متن کاملHeterotrimeric G protein-coupled signaling in plants.
Investigators studying G protein-coupled signaling--often called the best-understood pathway in the world owing to intense research in medical fields--have adopted plants as a new model to explore the plasticity and evolution of G signaling. Much research on plant G signaling has not disappointed. Although plant cells have most of the core elements found in animal G signaling, differences in ne...
متن کاملModulation of cell proliferation by heterotrimeric G protein in Arabidopsis.
The alpha subunit of a prototypical heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein (G protein), which is encoded by a single gene (GPA1) in Arabidopsis, is a modulator of plant cell proliferation. gpa1 null mutants have reduced cell division in aerial tissues throughout development. Inducible overexpression of GPA1 in Arabidopsis confers inducible ectopic cell division. GPA1 overexpression in synchronized ...
متن کاملHuman phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein facilitates heterotrimeric G protein-dependent signaling.
In this study we report that human phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (hPBP) facilitates heterotrimeric G protein-coupled signaling. In Xenopus laevis oocytes, coexpression of hPBP with human mu opioid receptor, human delta opioid receptor, or human somatostatin receptor 2 evoked an agonist-induced increase in potassium conductance of G protein-activated inwardly rectifying potassium chan...
