Abstract
The inhibition of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels in secretory cells by plasma membrane receptors is mediated by pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins. Multiple forms of G proteins have been described, differing principally in their α subunits, but it has not been possible to establish which G-protein subtype mediates inhibition by a specific receptor. By intranuclear injection of antisense oligonucleotides into rat pituitary GH3 cells, the essential role of the Go-type G proteins in Ca2+-channel inhibition is established: the subtypes Go1 and Go2 mediate inhibition through the muscarinic and somatostatin receptors, respectively.
