Abstract

Regulation of cellular response is an important mechanism for controlling cellular functions. The transmembrane signaling of the hormone receptors is regulated by GTP-binding proteins (GTPases) and their associated proteins. Our previous studies demonstrated that the bifunctional GTP-binding protein, G alpha h (transglutaminase II), consistently copurified with an approximately 50 kDa protein (G Beta h) which is dissociated from G alpha h upon activation with GTP gamma S or AlF4-. Present immunological and biochemical studies on the regulation of the GTPase cycle of G alpha h, which involves the alpha 1-adrenoceptor and 50 KDa G beta h, reveal that the 50 kDa protein is indeed a G alpha h-associated protein and down regulates functions of G alpha h. Thus, polyclonal antibody against G Beta h coimmunoprecipitates GDP-bound G alpha h but not the GDP-AlF4--bound form. The GTP gamma S binding and GTPase activity of G alpha h are inhibited in a G beta h concentration dependent manner. Supporting this notion, G beta h accelerated GTP gamma S release from G alpha h and changes the affinity of G alpha h from GTP to GDP. Moreover, the ternary complex preparation exhibits TGase activity that is inhibited in the presence of the alpha 1-ag...Continue Reading
