Abstract

The diversity in the heterotrimeric G protein alpha, beta, and gamma subunits may allow selective protein-protein interactions and provide specificity for signaling pathways. We examined the ability of five alpha subunits (alphai1, alphai2, alphao, alphas, and alphaq) to associate with three beta subunits (beta1, beta2, and beta5) dimerized to a gamma2 subunit containing an amino-terminal hexahistidine-FLAG affinity tag (gamma2HF). Sf9 insect cells were used to overexpress the recombinant proteins. The hexahistidine-FLAG sequence does not hinder the function of the beta1gamma2HF dimer as it can be specifically eluted from an alphai1-agarose column with GDP and AlF4-, and purified beta1gamma2HF dimer stimulates type II adenylyl cyclase. The beta1gamma2HF and beta2gamma2HF dimers immobilized on an anti-FLAG affinity column bound all five alpha subunits tested, whereas the beta5gamma2HF dimer bound only alphaq. The ability of other alpha subunits to compete with the alphaq subunit for binding to the beta5gamma2HF dimer was tested. Addition of increasing amounts of purified, recombinant alphai1 to the alphaq in a Sf9 cell extract did not decrease the amount of alphaq bound to the beta5gamma2HF column. When G proteins in an extract ...Continue Reading
