Real-Time Visualization of a Fluorescent Galpha s: Dissociation of the Activated G Protein from Plasma Membrane

Jiang-Zhou Yu and Mark M. Rasenick

To study behavior of activated Galpha s in living cells, green fluorescent protein (GFP) was inserted within the internal amino acid sequence of Galpha s to generate a Galpha s-GFP fusion protein. The fusion protein maintained a bright green fluorescence and was identified by immunoblotting with antibodies against Galpha s or GFP. The cellular distribution of Galpha s-GFP was similar to that of endogenous Galpha s. Galpha s-GFP was tightly coupled to the beta  adrenergic receptor to activate the Galpha s effector, adenylyl cyclase. Activation of Galpha 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 Galpha s-GFP from the membrane induced by cholera toxin, the beta -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 Galpha s-GFP release from plasma membrane sites was maximal; however, insertion of Galpha s-GFP at other membrane sites occurred during the same time period. Translocation of Galpha s-GFP fusion protein induced by isoproterenol suggested that the internalization of Galpha s might play a role in signal transduction by interacting with effector molecules and cytoskeletal elements at multiple cellular sites.
