Medicine, Chicago, Illinois
To study behavior of activated G
s in living cells, green
fluorescent protein (GFP) was inserted within the internal amino acid
sequence of G
s to generate a G
s-GFP
fusion protein. The fusion protein maintained a bright green
fluorescence and was identified by immunoblotting with antibodies
against G
s or GFP. The cellular distribution of
G
s-GFP was similar to that of endogenous G
s. G
s-GFP was tightly coupled to the
adrenergic receptor to activate the G
s effector,
adenylyl cyclase. Activation of G
s-GFP by cholera toxin
caused a gradual displacement of the fusion protein from the plasma
membrane throughout the cytoplasm in living cells. Unlike the slow
release of G
s-GFP from the membrane induced by cholera
toxin, the
-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol caused a rapid partial
release of the fusion protein into the cytoplasm. At 1 min after
treatment with isoproterenol, the extent of G
s-GFP
release from plasma membrane sites was maximal; however, insertion of
G
s-GFP at other membrane sites occurred during the same
time period. Translocation of G
s-GFP fusion protein
induced by isoproterenol suggested that the internalization of
G
s might play a role in signal transduction by
interacting with effector molecules and cytoskeletal elements at
multiple cellular sites.
