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].

This family is known as Family B, the secretin-receptor family or family 2 of the G-protein-coupled receptors (GCPRs). They have been described in many animal species, but not in plants, fungi or prokaryotes. Three distinct sub-families are recognised. Subfamily B1 contains classical hormone receptors, such as receptors for secretin and glucagon, that are all involved in cAMP-mediated signalling pathways. Subfamily B2 contains receptors with long extracellular N-termini, such as the leukocyte cell-surface antigen CD97 (Swiss:P48960); calcium-independent receptors for latrotoxin (such as Swiss:O94910), and brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitors (such as Swiss:O14514) amongst others. Subfamily B3 includes Methuselah and other Drosophila proteins (e.g. Swiss:P83119). Other than the typical seven-transmembrane region, characteristic structural features include an amino-terminal extracellular domain involved in ligand binding, and an intracellular loop (IC3) required for specific G-protein coupling [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].
