摘要: Recombinant regulators of G protein-signaling (RGS) proteins stimulate hydrolysis GTP by α subunits the Gi family but have not been reported to regulate other protein subunits. Expression recombinant RGS in cultured cells inhibits Gi-mediated hormonal signals probably acting as GTPase-activating for Gαisubunits. To ask whether an can also cellular responses mediated Gq/11 family, we compared activation mitogen-activated kinase (MAPK) a Gq/11-coupled receptor, bombesin receptor (BR), and Gi-coupled D2 dopamine transiently co-expressed with or without RGS4 COS-7 cells. Pertussis toxin, which uncouples from receptors, blocked MAPK BR. Co-expression RGS4, however, inhibited both receptors causing rightward shift concentration-effect curve agonists. BR-stimulated synthesis inositol phosphates effector target Gq/11, phospholipase C. Moreover, phosphate activated addition AlF4− overexpressing αq, binding αq·GDP·AlF4−. These results demonstrate that Gq/11-mediated competing well protein.
