Correction to the pathogenic alternative splicing, caused by the common GNB3 c.825C>T allele, using a novel, antisense morpholino [PDF]
The very common GNB3 c.825C>T polymorphism (rs5443), is present in approximately half of all human chromosomes. Significantly the presence of the GNB3 825T allele has been strongly associated, with predisposition to essential hypertension ...

Amino-terminal cysteine residues of RGS16 are required for palmitoylation and modulation of G(i)- and G(q)-mediated signaling [PDF]
RGS proteins (Regulators of G protein Signaling) are a recently discovered family of proteins that accelerate the GTPase activity of heterotrimeric G protein α subunits of the i, q, and 12 classes.

Functional Interplay Between Arabidopsis NADPH Oxidases and Heterotrimeric G Protein
The plant NADPH oxidases produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in response to pathogens that have diverse functions in different cellular contexts. Distinct phenotypic outcomes may derive from the interaction of NADPH oxidase-dependent ROS with other ...

The repertoire of heterotrimeric G proteins and RGS proteins in Ciona intestinalis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Heterotrimeric G proteins and regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins are key downstream interacting partners in the G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling pathway.

Quaternary structure of a G-protein-coupled receptor heterotetramer in complex with Gi and Gs [PDF]
Background G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), in the form of monomers or homodimers that bind heterotrimeric G proteins, are fundamental in the transfer of extracellular stimuli to intracellular signaling pathways.

Arabidopsis G‐protein interactome reveals connections to cell wall carbohydrates and morphogenesis
The heterotrimeric G‐protein complex is minimally composed of Gα, Gβ, and Gγ subunits. In the classic scenario, the G‐protein complex is the nexus in signaling from the plasma membrane, where the heterotrimeric G‐protein associates with heptahelical G ...

A Regulatory Module Controlling Homeostasis of a Plant Immune Kinase [PDF]
Plant pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) perceive microbial and endogenous molecular patterns to activate immune signaling. The cytoplasmic kinase BIK1 acts downstream of multiple PRRs as a rate-limiting component, whose phosphorylation and ...

Structural basis of Gip1 for cytosolic sequestration of G protein in wide-range chemotaxis
Gip1 sequesters heterotrimeric G proteins in the cytosolic pool which regulates G protein-coupled receptor signalling for eukaryotic chemotaxis. Here the authors provide the crystal structure of Gip1's G protein-binding region and show that mutations in ...
