Rhodopsin-enhanced GTPase activity of the inhibitory GTP-binding protein of adenylate cyclase
Abstract
Work in several laboratories has shown that Gi, the inhibitory guanyl nucleotide-binding protein of the adenylate cyclase system, is similar in many ways to transducin, the guanyl nucleotide-binding protein of the retinal light-activated cGMP phosphodiesterase system. Separated subunits of purified transducin, T alpha (approximately 39 kDa) and T beta gamma (approximately 35 and approximately 10 kDa), do not exhibit GTPase activity; GTPase activity is observed when the subunits are combined in the presence of rhodopsin ( Fung , B. K.-K. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 10495-10502). Subunits of Gi, Gi alpha (approximately 41 kDa), and Gi beta gamma (approximately 35 and approximately 10 kDa) were prepared from rabbit liver membranes. It was found that Gi beta gamma could replace T beta gamma in reconstituting the rhodopsin-stimulated GTPase activity of T alpha. Gi alpha exhibited rhodopsin-stimulated GTPase activity when reconstituted with Gi beta gamma or T beta gamma. GTPase activity was a function of Gi alpha concentration when Gi beta gamma or T beta gamma was constant, and the GTPase activity of a given amount of Gi alpha was dependent on Gi beta gamma concentration. These studies demonstrate that the GTPase activity of Gi resides in Gi alpha and further establish that Gi alpha and Gi beta gamma are functionally analogous to T alpha and T beta gamma, respectively.
