The stoichiometry of G alpha(s) palmitoylation in its basal and activated states

Abstract

Palmitoylation is the dynamic modification of proteins by the addition of palmitate to cysteine residues. The alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins undergo palmitoylation on their amino terminus, and activation of alpha(s) accelerates its palmitate turnover. In previous studies, palmitoylation was assessed by incorporation or turnover of [3H]palmitate. These studies did not determine the fraction of alpha(s) that is palmitoylated because the specific activity of [3H]palmitoyl-CoA within cells is indeterminate. We developed an HPLC method to determine the fraction of alpha(s) that was palmitoylated in the basal and activated states. COS and S49 cells were radiolabeled with [35S]methionine, and alpha(s) was immunoprecipitated from the particulate fraction. The immunoprecipitated proteins were separated by reverse phase HPLC into two peaks that were determined to contain the modified and unmodified forms of alpha(s). Approximately 77% of the endogenous alpha(s) in COS cells and 70% in S49 lymphoma cells were palmitoylated. The fraction of alpha(s) that was modified did not change after treatment with isoproterenol, a beta-adrenergic receptor agonist that causes turnover of palmitate on alpha(s). These results suggest that re...Continue Reading
