Oocyte maturation in starfish is mediated by the beta gamma-subunit complex of a G-protein
The stimulation of meiotic maturation of starfish oocytes by the hormone 1-methyladenine is mimicked by injection of beta gamma subunits of G-proteins from either retina or brain. Conversely, the hormone response is inhibited by injection of the GDP-bound forms of alpha i1 or alpha t subunits, or by injection of phosducin; all of these proteins should bind free beta gamma. alpha-subunit forms w...
متن کاملThe human G protein beta 3 subunit GNB3 825T polymorphism.
Meirhaeghe et al. recently showed that the T allele of a C vs T exchange at position 825 of the gene encoding for the beta3 subunit of heterotrimeric G proteins (GNB3) is associated with enhanced coronary constriction after intracoronary administration of methylergonovine. The 825T allele has also been shown to be associated with an enhanced response after activation of G protein coupled recept...
متن کاملA G-protein beta-subunit is essential for Dictyostelium development.
Recent studies have demonstrated that G-protein-linked signal transduction pathways play a significant role in the developmental program of the simple eukaryotic organism Dictyostelium. We have reported previously the isolation of a G-protein beta-subunit and present here a more complete analysis of this gene. Low-stringency Southern blots and RFLP mapping studies suggest that the beta-subunit ...
متن کاملCannabinoid receptor-G protein interactions: G(alphai1)-bound structures of IC3 and a mutant with altered G protein specificity.
The structure of the C-terminal region of the third cytoplasmic loop (IC3) of the cannabinoid receptor one (CB1) bound to G(alphai1) has been determined using transferred nuclear Overhauser effects (NOEs). The wild-type IC3 sequence is helical when associated with G(alphai1). In contrast, a peptide containing the amino-acid inversion, Ala(341)-Leu(342) adopts a single turn. These findings corre...
متن کاملG Distributions and the Beta-gamma Algebra
This paper has four interrelated themes: (1) express Laplace and Mellin transforms of sums of positive random variables in terms of the Mellin transform of the summands; (2) show the equivalence of the two Barnes’ lemmas with known properties of gamma distributions; (3) establish properties of the sum of two reciprocal gamma variables, and related results; (4) study the G distributions (whose M...
