Instability of GGL domain-containing RGS proteins in mice lacking the G protein -subunit G 5
RGS (regulator of G protein signaling) proteins containing the G protein -like (GGL) domain (RGS6, RGS7, RGS9, and RGS11) interact with the fifth member of the G protein -subunit family, G 5. This interaction is necessary for the stability of both the RGS protein and for G 5. Consistent with this notion, we have found that elevation of RGS9-1 mRNA levels by transgene expression does not increas...
متن کاملGTPase-activating proteins for heterotrimeric G proteins: regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) and RGS-like proteins.
GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) regulate heterotrimeric G proteins by increasing the rates at which their subunits hydrolyze bound GTP and thus return to the inactive state. G protein GAPs act allosterically on G subunits, in contrast to GAPs for the Ras-like monomeric GTP-binding proteins. Although they do not contribute directly to the chemistry of GTP hydrolysis, G protein GAPs can acceler...

متن کاملTwo chimeric regulators of G-protein signaling (RGS) proteins differentially modulate soybean heterotrimeric G-protein cycle.
Heterotrimeric G-proteins and the regulator of G-protein signaling (RGS) proteins, which accelerate the inherent GTPase activity of Gα proteins, are common in animals and encoded by large gene families; however, in plants G-protein signaling is thought to be more limited in scope. For example, Arabidopsis thaliana contains one Gα, one Gβ, three Gγ, and one RGS protein. Recent examination of the...
متن کاملMice lacking the G protein gamma3-subunit show resistance to opioids and diet induced obesity.
Contributing to the obesity epidemic, there is increasing evidence that overconsumption of high-fat foods may be analogous to drug addiction in that the palatability of these foods is associated with activation of specific reward pathways in the brain. With this perspective, we report that mice lacking the G protein gamma(3)-subunit (Gng3(-/-) mice) show resistance to high-fat diet-induced weig...
