G proteins couple receptors of extracellular signals to intracellular signaling pathways. The G protein alpha subunit binds guanyl nucleotide and is a weak GTPase. A set of residues that are unique to G-alpha as compared to its ancestor the Arf-like family form a ring of residues centered on the nucleotide binding site [3]. A Ggamma is found fused to an inactive Galpha in the Dictyostelium protein gbqA [3].
Members of this family are found in the extracellular region of the cholecystokinin A receptor, where they adopt a tertiary structure consisting of a few helical turns and a disulphide-crosslinked loop. They are required for interaction of the cholec ...
Members of this family are found in the extracellular region of the cholecystokinin A receptor, where they adopt a tertiary structure consisting of a few helical turns and a disulphide-crosslinked loop. They are required for interaction of the cholecystokinin A receptor with it's corresponding hormonal ligand [1].
G-protein gamma like domains (GGL) are found in the gamma subunit of the heterotrimeric G protein complex and in regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins [1]. It is also found fused to an inactive Galpha in the Dictyostelium protein gbqA [2] ...
G-protein gamma like domains (GGL) are found in the gamma subunit of the heterotrimeric G protein complex and in regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins [1]. It is also found fused to an inactive Galpha in the Dictyostelium protein gbqA [2]. G-gamma likely shares a common origin with the helical N-terminal unit of G-beta [2]. All organisms that posses a G-beta possess a G-gamma [2].
