摘要:
The role of RGS proteins on dopaminergic Des receptor (D2SR) signalling was investigated in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells, using recombinant RGS protein- and PTX-insensitive G(alpha0) proteins. Dopamine-mediated [S-35]GTPgammaS binding was attenuated by more than 60% in CHO-K1 D2SR cells coexpressing a RGS protein- and PTX-insensitive G(alpha0)Gly(184)Ser:Cys(351)Ile protein versus cells coexpressing a similar amount of PTX-insensitive G(alpha0)Cys(351)Ile protein. Dopamine-agonist-mediated Ca2+ responses were dependent on the coexpression with a G(alpha0)Cys(351)Ile protein and were fully abolished upon coexpression with a G(alpha0)Gly(184)Ser:Cys(351)Ile protein. These results suggest that interactions between the G(alpha0) protein and RGS proteins are involved in efficient D2SR signalling. (C) 2002 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
