Stimulatory G protein directly regulates hypertrophic differentiation of growth plate cartilage in vivo.
Stimulatory heterotrimeric G protein (Gs) transduces signals from various cell-surface receptors to adenylyl cyclases, which generate cAMP. The alpha subunit of Gs (Gsalpha) is encoded by GNAS (Gnas in mice), and heterozygous Gsalpha inactivating mutations lead to Albright hereditary osteodystrophy. The in vivo role of Gsalpha in skeletogenesis is largely unknown, because of early embryonic let...
متن کاملIloprost-induced translocation of a 23-kDa protein that is recognized by a Gs alpha antiserum.
We have observed that iloprost, a prostacyclin analog, causes the translocation of a 23-kDa protein from the membrane to the cytosol of human platelets. This 23-kDa protein is recognized by a Gs alpha (alpha subunit of stimulatory guanine nucleotide binding regulatory protein) antiserum but is not ADP-ribosylated by cholera toxin. The translocation of the Gs alpha-related protein might be an im...
متن کاملStimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors of S49 lymphoma cells redistributes the alpha subunit of the stimulatory G protein between cytosol and membranes.
The stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding protein (Gs), which links cell-surface receptors to second-messenger effector systems, is assumed to be confined to plasma membranes. In the current studies we tested whether Gs redistributes within cells by treating S49 lymphoma cells with the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol, then separating cytosol and crude membrane fractions (defined as pelle...
متن کاملFurther Evidence Supporting a Role for Gs Signal Transduction in Severe Malaria Pathogenesis
With the functional demonstration of a role in erythrocyte invasion by Plasmodium falciparum parasites, implications in the aetiology of common conditions that prevail in individuals of African origin, and a wealth of pharmacological knowledge, the stimulatory G protein (Gs) signal transduction pathway presents an exciting target for anti-malarial drug intervention. Having previously demonstrat...
متن کاملThyroid hormone regulation of transmembrane signalling in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes by selective alteration of the expression and coupling of G-protein alpha-subunits.
Thyroid hormone exerts profound effects on the activity of the hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase system in the heart. Distinct guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G-proteins) mediate stimulatory and inhibitory influences on adenylate cyclase activity. To examine whether the effects of thyroid hormone on adenylate cyclase involve specific changes in G-protein subunit expression, th...
