摘要: Abstract Transductin (Tα and Tβγ) is a GTP-binding protein involved in the visual transduction process rod outer segment. We have previously demonstrated that Tβγ mixture composed of two components, Tβγ-1 Tβγ-2, with distinctive γ-subunits, Tγ-1 Tγ-2, respectively (Fukada et al., 1989, J. Biol. Chem. , 264 5937–5943). To investigate interaction between Tα components Tβγ, effect either or Tβγ-2 on ADP-ribosylation catalyzed by pertussis toxin (IAP) was examined. stimulated IAP, while displayed almost no enhancement ADP-ribosylation. Addition to had Tα. These results indicate form complex serves as substrate IAP reaction, has little affinity for It suggested Tγ-2 an essential subunit Tβ interact
