G proteins

Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 1992
The family of heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) serves an essential role in transducing receptor-generated signals across the plasma membrane. Recent findings reveal unexpected functional roles for individual G protein subunits.

G Proteins and G Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]

open access: possible, 2002
Cells live in a constantly changing milieu. The structure and biochemical nature of this environment is dynamic and in order for normal cellular function to proceed in a manner appropriate for the benefit of the organism, cells must be able to access this changing information.

Heterotrimeric G protein activation by G-protein-coupled receptors [PDF]

open access: possibleNature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2008
Heterotrimeric G proteins have a crucial role as molecular switches in signal transduction pathways mediated by G-protein-coupled receptors. Extracellular stimuli activate these receptors, which then catalyse GTP-GDP exchange on the G protein alpha-subunit.

Heterotrimeric G proteins

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1996
Over the past year, the thrust of work in the field of heterotrimeric G proteins has been primarily in the following areas: first, resolution of their three-dimensional structures by X-ray crystallography; second, elucidation of the effect of lipid modifications on the Galpha and Ggamma subunits; third, understanding the role of the Gbetagamma dimer in

The role of G protein conformation in receptor–G protein selectivity

Nature Chemical Biology, 2023
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) selectively activate at least one of the four families of heterotrimeric G proteins, but the mechanism of coupling selectivity remains unclear. Structural studies emphasize structural complementarity of GPCRs and nucleotide-free G proteins, but selectivity is likely to be determined by transient intermediate-state ...

G Protein Pathways

Science, 2002
The heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide–binding proteins (G proteins) are signal transducers that communicate signals from many hormones, neurotransmitters, chemokines, and autocrine and paracrine factors. The extracellular signals are received by members of a large superfamily of receptors with seven membrane-spanning regions that activate the G ...

G Proteins and Phototransduction

Annual Review of Physiology, 2002
▪ Abstract  Phototransduction is the process by which a photon of light captured by a molecule of visual pigment generates an electrical response in a photoreceptor cell. Vertebrate rod phototransduction is one of the best-studied G protein signaling pathways. In this pathway the photoreceptor-specific G protein, transducin, mediates between the visual

G protein antagonists

Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 1999
Heterotrimeric G proteins couple membrane-bound heptahelical receptors to their cellular effector systems (ion channels or enzymes generating a second messenger). In current pharmacotherapy, the input to G protein-regulated signalling is typically manipulated by targeting the receptor with appropriate agonists or antagonists and, to a lesser extent, by

G Protein-Coupled Receptors and G Proteins

2000
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) form a large and functionally diverse superfamily of cell membrane receptors. Many signaling cascades use GPCRs to convert a large diversity of external and internal stimuli including photons, odorants, and ions as well as hormones and neurotransmitter agonists into intracellular responses.
