Molecular Basis for Interactions of G Protein beta gamma Subunits with Effectors

Both the alpha  and beta gamma subunits of heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) communicate signals from receptors to effectors. Gbeta gamma subunits can regulate a diverse array of effectors, including ion channels and enzymes. Galpha subunits bound to guanine diphosphate (Galpha -GDP) inhibit signal transduction through Gbeta gamma subunits, suggesting a common interface on Gbeta gamma subunits for Galpha binding and effector interaction. The molecular basis for interaction of Gbeta gamma with effectors was characterized by mutational analysis of Gbeta residues that make contact with Galpha -GDP. Analysis of the ability of these mutants to regulate the activity of calcium and potassium channels, adenylyl cyclase 2, phospholipase C-beta 2, and beta -adrenergic receptor kinase revealed the Gbeta residues required for activation of each effector and provides evidence for partially overlapping domains on Gbeta for regulation of these effectors. This organization of interaction regions on Gbeta for different effectors and Galpha explains why subunit dissociation is crucial for signal transmission through Gbeta gamma subunits.
