摘要

Heterotrimeric G proteins function as molecular relays that mediate signal transduction from heptahelical receptors in the cell membrane to intracellular effector proteins. Crystallographic studies have demonstrated that guanine nucleotide exchange on the Gα subunit causes specific conformational changes in three key "switch" regions of the protein, which regulate binding to Gβγ subunits, receptors, and effector proteins. In the present study, nitroxide side chains were introduced at sites within the switch Ⅰ region of Gαi to explore the structure and dynamics of this region throughout the G protein cycle. EPR spectra obtained for each of the Gα(GDP), Gα(GDP)βγ heterotrimer and Gα(GTPγS) conformations are consistent with the local environment observed in the corresponding crystal structures. Binding of the heterotrimer to activated rhodopsin to form the nucleotide-free (empty) complex, for which there is no crystal structure, causes prominent changes relative to the heterotrimer in the structure of switch Ⅰ and contiguous sequences. The data identify a putative pathway of allosteric changes triggered by receptor binding and, together with previously published data, suggest elements of a mechanism for receptor-catalyzed nucleotide exchange.
