Heterotrimeric G-proteins, composed of alpha and betagamma subunits, transmit signals from cell-surface receptors to cellular effectors and ion channels. Cellular responses to receptor agonists depend on not only the type and amount of G-protein subunits expressed but also the ratio of alpha and bet
The expression of mammalian G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) in S. cerevisiae provides a powerful assay system for functional analysis, ligand identi®cation and pharmaceutical screening. However, relatively few receptors have been coupled to the pheromone response pathway via the yeast G a , Gpa1
The Ga2-subunit of Dictyostelium discoideum is essential to the initial stage of the cell's developmental life cycle. In response to the extracellular chemoattractant, cAMP, Ga2 is activated and transiently phosphorylated on serine-113 [Chen et al. (1994): J Biol Chem 269:20925-20930]. The role of G
