G-protein alpha-subunit expression, myristoylation, and membrane association in COS cells.
Myristoylation of seven different alpha subunits of guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) was examined by expressing these proteins in monkey kidney COS cells. Metabolic labeling studies of cells transfected with cytomegalovirus-based expression vectors indicated that [3H]myristate was incorporated into alpha i1, alpha i2, alpha i3, alpha 0, alpha t, and alpha z but not al...
متن کاملMyristoylation of an inhibitory GTP-binding protein alpha subunit is essential for its membrane attachment.
We transfected COS cells with cDNAs for the alpha subunits of stimulatory and inhibitory GTP-binding proteins, alpha s and alpha i1, respectively, and immunoprecipitated the metabolically labeled products with specific peptide antibodies. Cells were separated into particulate and soluble fractions before immunoprecipitation; [35S]methionine-labeled alpha s and alpha i were both found primarily ...
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...
متن کاملExpression of Recombinant Alpha-1 Antitrypsin in CHO and COS-7 Cell Lines Using Lentiviral Vector
In this study, in order to facilitate and accelerate the production of eukaryotic protein alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) with correct post-translational modifications, a protein production system based on the transduction of CHO and COS-7 cells using lentiviral vectors was developed. Human AAT cDNA was cloned into a replication-defective lentiviral vector. The transgene AAT-Jred chimer was transferr...
متن کاملCloning of the murine lymphocyte function-associated molecule-1 alpha-subunit and its expression in COS cells.
The lymphocyte function-associated molecule 1 (LFA-1, CD11a/CD18) is an integrin that mediates adhesion of immune cells by interaction with two members of the Ig superfamily, ICAM-1 and ICAM-2. LFA-1 consists of an alpha subunit (Mr = 180,000) and a beta subunit (Mr = 95,000). We report here the isolation and expression of the murine alpha subunit cDNA (GenBank accession no. M60778). The deduce...
