Mutations of the Gs alpha-subunit gene in Albright hereditary osteodystrophy detected by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. [PDF]
Affected members of most kindreds with Albright hereditary osteodystrophy have a partial deficiency of functional Gs, the guanine nucleotide-binding protein that stimulates adenylyl cyclase. By use of the polymerase chain reaction to amplify genomic fragments with the attachment of a high-melting G + C-rich region (GC clamp) and analysis of these ...

Developmental differences in the expression of the cholera toxin sensitive subunit (Gs alpha) of adenylate cyclase in the rat small intestine. [PDF]
The stimulatory guanosine triphosphate (GTP) binding protein alpha subunit (Gs alpha) of adenylate cyclase is the target protein for cholera toxin.The expression of this signal transducer was analysed in the small intestine of developing rats by RNA transfer (northern blot) analysis by immunoblotting, and by ADP-ribosylation of membrane proteins ...

Proteolytic removal and genetic deletion of the amino-terminal domain of G protein alpha subunit have shown that this region is necessary for interaction with beta gamma subunits. In the alpha subunits which undergo myristoylation, myristoylation of the amino-terminal glycine modulates the affinity of alpha subunit for the beta gamma complex.

Genetic deficiency of the alpha subunit of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein Gs as the molecular basis for Albright hereditary osteodystrophy. [PDF]
Patients who have pseudohypoparathyroidism type I associated with Albright hereditary osteodystrophy commonly have a genetic deficiency of the alpha subunit of the G protein that stimulates adenylyl cyclase (alpha Gs) (ATP pyrophosphate-lyase, EC 4.6.1.1).

Diurnal regulation of metabolism by Gs-alpha in hypothalamic QPLOT neurons.
Neurons in the hypothalamic preoptic area (POA) regulate multiple homeostatic processes, including thermoregulation and sleep, by sensing afferent input and modulating sympathetic nervous system output.

Expression of the Gs protein alpha-subunit disrupts the normal program of differentiation in cultured murine myogenic cells. [PDF]
The manner in which growth factors acting at the cell surface regulate activity of myogenic basic-helix-loop-helix proteins in the nucleus and thus control the fate of committed skeletal myoblasts remains poorly understood. In this study, we report that immunoreactive Gs protein alpha-subunits (Gs alpha) localize to nuclei of proliferating C2C12 ...

Persistent activation of the α subunit of Gs promotes its removal from the plasma membrane [PDF]
As assessed both by cholera-toxin-catalysed ADP-ribosylation and by immunoblotting with an anti-peptide antiserum raised against the C-terminal decapeptide of forms of Gs alpha (the alpha subunit of the stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding protein), rat glioma C6 BU1 cells express two forms of Gs alpha: a major 44 kDa form and a much less prevalent ...

The alpha subunit of the heterotrimeric Gs protein that couples the beta-adrenergic receptor to adenylyl cyclase undergoes post-translational palmitoylation. We examined the dynamics of this modification of alpha s by metabolic labeling of COS and S49 lymphoma cells under different conditions.

Genetic variants of the extra‐large stimulatory Gs protein alpha‐subunit and risk of thrombotic and haemorrhagic disorders [PDF]
SummaryA polymorphism of the gene encoding the extra‐large stimulatory G‐protein α‐subunit (XLαs), originally identified in three patients with a bleeding tendency, involved a 36‐bp insertion and two missense changes. A paternally‐inherited insertion displayed a moderate platelet Gsα over‐expression, which lead to platelet hypo‐reactivity.

In endosomes the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) is sorted into transcytotic vesicles. Transcytosis of the pIgR in polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells is regulated both by phosphorylation of Ser664 and by binding of ligand, dimeric IgA (dIgA). Mutation of Ser664 to Ala (pIgR-Ala664) greatly reduces transcytosis of the pIgR without
