摘要

Phosducin proteins are known to inhibit G protein-mediated signaling by sequestering Gβγ subunits. However, Dictyostelium discoideum cells lacking the phosducin-like protein PhLP1 display defective rather than enhanced G protein signaling. Here we show that green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged Gβ (GFP-Gβ) and GFP-Gγ subunits exhibit drastically reduced steady-state levels and are absent from the plasma membrane in phlp1? cells. Triton X-114 partitioning suggests that lipid attachment to GFP-Gγ occurs in wild-type cells but not in phlp1? and ? cells. Moreover, Gβγ dimers could not be detected in vitro in coimmunoprecipitation assays with phlp1? cell lysates. Accordingly, in vivo diffusion measurements using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy showed that while GFP-Gγ proteins are present in a complex in wild-type cells, they are free in phlp1? and ? cells. Collectively, our data strongly suggest the absence of Gβγ dimer formation in Dictyostelium cells lacking PhLP1. We propose that PhLP1 serves as a cochaperone assisting the assembly of Gβ and Gγ into a functional Gβγ complex. Thus, phosducin family proteins may fulfill hitherto unsuspected biosynthetic functions.
