Protein Modification: Palmitoylation in G-protein signaling pathways
The reversible palmitoylation of G proteins and their receptors is involved both in receptor desensitization and in association and disassociation of G alpha subunits with the plasma membrane.
متن کاملEffects of fibromodulin protein expression on NFkB and TGFβ signaling pathways in liver cancer cells
Introduction: The incidence rate of liver cancer is continuously increasing. Currently, gene therapy is applied to improve various medical issues such as cancer treatment approaches. Correspondingly, fibromodulin involves in many biological and physiological processes through interaction with growth factors and signaling pathway receptors. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of...
متن کاملDHHC protein-dependent palmitoylation protects regulator of G-protein signaling 4 from proteasome degradation.
Regulator of G-protein signaling 4 (RGS4), an intracellular modulator of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR)-mediated signaling, is regulated by multiple processes including palmitoylation and proteasome degradation. We found that co-expression of DHHC acyltransferases (DHHC3 or DHHC7), but not their acyltransferase-inactive mutants, increased expression levels of RGS4 but not its Cys2 to Ser mut...
متن کاملA mechanism regulating G protein-coupled receptor signaling that requires cycles of protein palmitoylation and depalmitoylation.
Reversible attachment and removal of palmitate or other long-chain fatty acids on proteins has been hypothesized, like phosphorylation, to control diverse biological processes. Indeed, palmitate turnover regulates Ras trafficking and signaling. Beyond this example, however, the functions of palmitate turnover on specific proteins remain poorly understood. Here, we show that a mechanism regulati...
متن کاملReceptor regulation of G protein palmitoylation.
Many alpha subunits of heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) are palmitoylated. Exposure of cells to the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol increased incorporation of [3H]palmitate specifically into alpha s, the alpha subunit that mediates stimulation of adenylyl cyclase. Pulse-chase experiments suggested that isoproterenol increased turnover of alpha s-b...
