Assembly and Intracellular Targeting of the βγ Subunits of Heterotrimeric G Proteins
The assembly in living cells of heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide binding proteins from their constituent alpha, beta, and gamma subunits is a complex process, compounded by the multiplicity of the genes that encode them, and the diversity of receptors and effectors with which they interact. Monoclonal anti-beta antibodies (ARC5 and ARC9), raised against immunoaffinity purified beta gamma compl...
متن کاملDifferential Localization of G Protein βγ Subunits
G protein βγ subunits play essential roles in regulating cellular signaling cascades, yet little is known about their distribution in tissues or their subcellular localization. While previous studies have suggested specific isoforms may exhibit a wide range of distributions throughout the central nervous system, a thorough investigation of the expression patterns of both Gβ and Gγ isoforms with...
متن کاملHeterotrimeric G-protein Α-subunit Adopts a ‘pre-activated’ Conformation When Associated with Βγ-subunits
Activation of a heterotrimeric G-protein by an agonist-stimulated G-protein coupled receptor requires the propagation of structural signals from the receptor binding interface to the guanine nucleotide binding pocket of the G-protein. To probe the molecular basis of this signaling process, we are applying high-resolution NMR to track structural changes in an isotope-labeled, full length G-prote...
متن کاملA family of G protein βγ subunits translocate reversibly from the plasma membrane to endomembranes on receptor activation.
The present model of G protein activation by G protein-coupled receptors exclusively localizes their activation and function to the plasma membrane (PM). Observation of the spatiotemporal response of G protein subunits in a living cell to receptor activation showed that 6 of the 12 members of the G protein gamma subunit family translocate specifically from the PM to endomembranes. The gamma sub...
متن کاملInsolubility and redistribution of GPI-anchored proteins at the cell surface after detergent treatment.
A diverse set of cell surface eukaryotic proteins including receptors, enzymes, and adhesion molecules have a glycosylphosphoinositol-lipid (GPI) modification at the carboxy-terminal end that serves as their sole means of membrane anchoring. These GPI-anchored proteins are poorly solubilized in nonionic detergent such as Triton X-100. In addition these detergent-insoluble complexes from plasma ...
