Download or read book G Proteins written by Ravi Iyengar and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: G Proteins is an introduction to one class of systems used for signal transduction at the cell surface, with emphasis on its utilization of a heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein (G protein) to mediate the transfer of information across the plasma membrane, from receptor to effector. Topics covered include the structure and function of G-protein a chains, ADP-ribosylation factor of adenylyl cyclase, and G protein-mediated effects on ionic channels. The organization of genes coding for G-protein a subunits in higher and lower eukaryotes is also discussed. This book is comprised of 25 chapters and begins with an overview of G proteins and their role in signal transduction. The next section focuses on the structural aspects of G proteins, with substantial emphasis on ? subunits. The mechanism of G protein coupling to effector systems is also considered, using the hormone-regulated adenylyl cyclase and light-regulated cGMP phosphodiesterase as models. Subsequent chapters deal with receptors and effector systems, together with the cellular functions that may be regulated by heterotrimeric G proteins. In particular, the interaction of insulin with G proteins is discussed, along with receptor regulation of cell calcium and phospholipase C activity. This monograph should be useful to students and scientists interested in G proteins.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Precise regulation of heterotrimeric G-protein signaling is important for maintaining proper cardiovascular system function. Indeed, G-protein signaling is frequently upregulated during cardiovascular disease suggesting that identifying mechanisms for inhibiting G-protein signaling may be an effective therapeutic strategy for the treatment and prevention of disease. The work presented in this thesis is directed at two RGS proteins, RGS2 and RGS5, the two highest expressing RGS proteins in VSMCs. Despite the large number of studies published on them, there is still much to be learned about the specific G-protein pathways that each RGS protein controls. Using genetic and molecular models, we set out to identify novel regulatory pathways controlling RGS2 and RGS5 function. We hypothesize that characterizing the determinants and regulation of RGS protein function will provide a better understanding of the signaling that occurs within VSMCs under both physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions.Finally, our last study focuses on the function and regulation of RGS5, the single highest expressing RGS protein in VSMCs. We show that the regulation of RGS5 is dependent, similar to other VSMC-specific genes, on the activity of SRF and myocardin. However, interestingly, RGS5 expression is further controlled by the extent of DNA methylation that occurs in its proximal promoter. We show that this is an important regulator of RGS5 expression both in development as well as during disease, specifically in-stent restenosis.Our work presented in the first three studies of this thesis, describes novel regulatory pathways that are involved in regulating RGS2 protein function. We describe the production of RGS2 protein isoforms that are the result of alternative translational start site usage. Interestingly, the expression pattern of these proteins is controlled by the signaling status of the cell. In the second two studies, we identify a functional consequence of RGS2-interaction with the plasma membrane. We show that this is dependent on the interaction between the amphipathic alpha-helix and anionic phospholipids present in the plasma membrane. We further show that disruptions in this interaction, as occurs in the human population, can lead to reduced RGS2 function and thus potentially hypertension.
