Heterotrimeric 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 کاملHeterotrimeric 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 کاملHeterotrimeric G protein signalling in the plant kingdom
In animals, heterotrimeric G proteins, comprising α-, β-and γ-subunits, perceive extracellular stimuli through cell surface receptors, and transmit signals to ion channels, enzymes and other effector proteins to affect numerous cellular behaviours. In plants, G proteins have structural similarities to the corresponding molecules in animals but transmit signals by atypical mechanisms and effecto...
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...
متن کاملSaltational evolution of the heterotrimeric G protein signaling mechanisms in the plant kingdom.
Signaling proteins evolved diverse interactions to provide specificity for distinct stimuli. Signaling complexity in the G protein (heterotrimeric guanosine triphosphate-binding protein) network was achieved in animals through subunit duplication and incremental evolution. By combining comprehensive and quantitative phenotypic profiles of Arabidopsis thaliana with protein evolution informatics,...
