Protein subfamilies

Most GPCRs interact with and activate more than one G-protein subfamily, e.g., with Gs plus Gq/n (histamine H2, parathyroid hormone and calcitonin recqrtors), Gs plus G (luteinising hormone receptor, 32-adrenoceptor) or Gq/11 plus G12/13 (thromboxane A2, angiotensin ATb endothelin ETA receptors). Some receptors show even broader G-protein coupling, e.g., to Gi, Gq/n plus Gi n ( protease-activated receptors, lysophosphatidate and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors) or even to all four G-protein subfamilies (thyrotropin receptor). This multiple coupling results in multiple signaling via different pathways and in a concerted reaction of the cell to the stimulus. [Pg.1238]

So far four G protein subfamilies have been identified and classified according to the more than 20 known a subunits (Gq/11, Gi/0, Gs, and G12/13) [6]. There is a similar variety of beta and gamma subunits. G proteins can act either stimulatory or inhibitory. [Pg.63]

Implicated in induction and differentiation of cartilaginous tissues during development are a number of growth factors and cytokines, including the TGF-P superfamily. Those implicated include bone morphogenetic protein subfamilies, fibroblast growth factor family, insulinlike growth factor family,... [Pg.245]

Since a-gustducin belongs to the Gai protein subfamily of Ga proteins, its activation should lead to a reduction of cyclic nucleotide levels via the stimulation of phosphodiesterases. Indeed, two phosphodiesterases were identified in gustatory tissue (McLaughlin et al. 1994) and a rapid decrease in cyclic AMP after stimulation... [Pg.221]

Even if conserved residues can be part of interaction surfaces, other residues conserved in subfamilies, the so-called tree-determinants, can also be important for tracing functional interfaces. These tree-determinants point to positively selected changes in a protein family that potentially indicate the presence of functional-specific sites. In this position it is possible to find protein-protein interaction related sites [94,98]. The ability of these methods to predict sites that are specific [99] and the state-of-the-art in current methods for predicting functional sites [100] has been described in recent publications, including experiments demonstrating the capacity of those methods to predict residues that once swapped can produce a exchange of functional specificity between two protein subfamilies [65,101,102]. [Pg.232]
