Summary: | The GTP binding Gαh (transglutaminase II) mediates the α1B-adrenoreceptor signal to a 69-kDa phospholipase C (PLC). Thus, Gαh possesses both GTPase and transglutaminase activities with a signal transfer role. The recognition sites of this unique GTP binding protein for either the receptor or the effector are completely unknown. A site on human heart Gαh (hhGαh) has been identified that interacts with and stimulates PLC. Expressed mutants of hhGαh with deleted C-terminal regions lost the response to(-)-epinephrine and GTP and failed to coimmunoprecipitate PLC by the specific Gh7α antibody. The interaction regions were further defined by studies with synthetic peptides of hhGαh and a chimera in which residues Val665-Lys672 of hhGαh were substituted with Ile707-Ser714 residues of human coagulation factor XIIIa. Thus, eight amino acid residues near the C terminus of hhGαh are critical for recognition and stimulation of PLC. |
