G-Protein α-Subunit Gsα Is Required for Craniofacial Morphogenesis.
The heterotrimeric G protein subunit Gsα couples receptors to activate adenylyl cyclase and is required for the intracellular cAMP response and protein kinase A (PKA) activation. Gsα is ubiquitously expressed in many cell types; however, the role of Gsα in neural crest cells (NCCs) remains unclear. Here we report that NCCs-specific Gsα knockout mice die within hours after birth and exhibit dram...
متن کاملIdentification of PSD-95 Palmitoylating Enzymes
UNLABELLED Postsynaptic density (PSD)-95, the most abundant postsynaptic scaffolding protein, plays a pivotal role in synapse development and function. Continuous palmitoylation cycles on PSD-95 are essential for its synaptic clustering and regulation of AMPA receptor function. However, molecular mechanisms for palmitate cycling on PSD-95 remain incompletely understood, as PSD-95 depalmitoylati...
متن کاملgenetic susceptibility of angiotensin-i converting enzyme and g-protein β3-subunit gene polymorphisms to essential hypertension
essential hypertension (eh) accounts for 90-95% of hypertension cases. eh, as a progressive cardiovascular syndrome arising from complex and interrelated etiologies, results from combined and interactive effects of genetic and environmental factors. the objective was to investigate the ace i/d and gnb3 c825t polymorphisms and both genotypes combined with seeking gene-gene interactions to furthe...
متن کاملFidelity of G protein b-subunit association by the G protein g-subunit-like domains of RGS6, RGS7, and RGS11
Several regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins contain a G protein g-subunit-like (GGL) domain, which, as we have shown, binds to Gb5 subunits. Here, we extend our original findings by describing another GGLdomain-containing RGS, human RGS6. When RGS6 is coexpressed with different Gb subunits, only RGS6 and Gb5 interact. The expression of mRNA for RGS6 and Gb5 in human tissues overlap...
متن کاملHigh glucose condition down-regulates the inhibitory G-protein subunit, Gαi, in pheochromocytoma PC12 cells
Introduction: G-proteins have an important role in the cell signaling of numerous receptors. The situation of G-proteins in health and disease and their critical role in the development of diabetic side effects is an interested scientific field. Here, the changes in the expression of G-protein subunits (Gαi, Gαs and Gβ) were evaluated in hyperglycemic situation of PC12 cells as...
