    Description: The interaction between the low molecular weight G protein ras p21 and a guanosine triphosphatase activating protein (GAP) uncouples a heterotrimeric G protein (Gk) from muscarinic receptors. Through the use of isolated atrial cell membranes and genetically engineered GAP deletion mutants, the src homology regions (SH2-SH3) at the amino terminus of GAP have been identified as the domains responsible for this effect. Deletion of the domain required to stimulate the guanosine triphosphatase activity of ras p21 relieves the requirement for ras p21 in this system. A model is presented that suggests that ras p21 induces a conformational change in GAP, which allows the SH2-SH3 regions of GAP to function.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Martin, G A -- Yatani, A -- Clark, R -- Conroy, L -- Polakis, P -- Brown, A M -- McCormick, F -- CA51992-01/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- HL36930/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Jan 10;255(5041):192-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology, Cetus Corporation, Emeryville, CA 94608.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1553544" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Signal transducing guanine nucleotide binding (G) proteins are heterotrimers with different alpha subunits that confer specificity for interactions with receptors and effectors. Eight to ten such G proteins couple a large number of receptors for hormones and neurotransmitters to at least eight different effectors. Although one G protein can interact with several receptors, a given G protein was thought to interact with but one effector. The recent finding that voltage-gated calcium channels are stimulated by purified Gs, which stimulates adenylyl cyclase, challenged this concept. However, purified Gs may have four distinct alpha-subunit polypeptides, produced by alternative splicing of messenger RNA. By using recombinant DNA techniques, three of the splice variants were synthesized in Escherichia coli and each variant was shown to stimulate both adenylyl cyclase and calcium channels. Thus, a single G protein alpha subunit may regulate more than one effector function.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mattera, R -- Graziano, M P -- Yatani, A -- Zhou, Z -- Graf, R -- Codina, J -- Birnbaumer, L -- Gilman, A G -- Brown, A M -- DK-19318/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- HL-31164/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL-39262/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1989 Feb 10;243(4892):804-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2536957" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: beta-Adrenergic agonists activate the G protein, Gs, which stimulates cardiac calcium currents by both cytoplasmic, indirect and membrane-delimited, direct pathways. To test whether beta-adrenergic agonists might use both pathways in the heart, isoproterenol was rapidly applied to cardiac myocytes, resulting in a biphasic increase in cardiac calcium channel currents that had time constants of 150 milliseconds and 36 seconds. beta-Adrenergic antagonists of a G protein inhibitor blocked both the fast and slow responses, whereas the adenylyl cyclase activator forskolin produced only the slow response. The presence of a fast pathway in the heart can explain what the slow pathway cannot account for: the ability of cardiac sympathetic nerves to change heart rate within a single beat.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yatani, A -- Brown, A M -- HL36930/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL37044/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- NS23877/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1989 Jul 7;245(4913):71-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2544999" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Heart rate is determined by pacemaker currents, of which the most important is the hyperpolarization-activated current I(f). Heart rate and I(f) are increased by beta-adrenergic agonists and decreased by muscarinic agonists released from cardiac sympathetic and vagal nerves, respectively. The hypothesis that the receptors for each agonist are directly coupled to I(f) channels by G proteins was tested. Under substrate-free conditions, preactivated G protein Gs stimulated and preactivated G protein G(o) inhibited I(f) channels of sinoatrial node pacemaker cells. These effects were mimicked by the corresponding preactivated alpha subunits of the G proteins. Unexpectedly, the two G proteins acted simultaneously, with G(o) being the more potent. This result may explain in molecular terms the classical observation in cardiac physiology, that vagal inhibition of heart rate is much greater on a background of sympathetic stimulation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yatani, A -- Okabe, K -- Codina, J -- Birnbaumer, L -- Brown, A M -- DK19318/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- HL36930/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL39262/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1990 Sep 7;249(4973):1163-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1697697" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The activated heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide binding (G) protein Gk, at subpicomolar concentrations, mimics muscarinic stimulation of a specific atrial potassium current. Reconstitution studies have implicated the alpha and beta gamma subunits as mediators, but subunit coupling by the endogenous G protein has not been analyzed. To study this process, a monoclonal antibody (4A) that binds to alpha k but not to beta gamma was applied to the solution bathing an inside-out patch of atrial membrane; the antibody blocked carbachol-activated currents irreversibly. The state of the endogenous Gk determined its susceptibility to block by the antibody. When agonist was absent or when activation by muscarinic stimulation was interrupted by withdrawal of guanosine triphosphate (GTP) in the presence or absence of guanosine diphosphate (GDP), the effects of the antibody did not persist. Thus, monoclonal antibody 4A blocked muscarinic activation of potassium channels by binding to the activated G protein in its holomeric form or by binding to the dissociated alpha subunit.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yatani, A -- Hamm, H -- Codina, J -- Mazzoni, M R -- Birnbaumer, L -- Brown, A M -- DK19318/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- HL36930/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL37044/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Aug 12;241(4867):828-31.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physiology and Molecular Biophysics, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2457252" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A specific label for voltage-dependent calcium channels is essential for the isolation and purification of the membrane protein that constitutes the calcium channel and for a better understanding of its function. A fraction of Crotalus atrox that increases voltage-dependent calcium currents in single, dispersed guinea pig ventricular cells was isolated. In the doses used, neither sodium nor potassium currents were changed. The fraction was active in the absence of detectable phospholipase or protease activity, and the active component, designated atrotoxin, produced its effect rapidly and reversibly. The effect was produced by extracellular but not intracellular application of the agent. The increase in Ca2+ current was blocked by the Ca2+ channel blockers cobalt and nitrendipine. The active fraction completely blocked specific [3H]nitrendipine binding to guinea pig ventricular membrane preparations. The inhibition of nitrendipine binding by atrotoxin was apparently via an allosteric mechanism. Thus atrotoxin was shown to bind to the Ca2+ channel and to act as a specific Ca2+ channel agonist.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hamilton, S L -- Yatani, A -- Hawkes, M J -- Redding, K -- Brown, A M -- 1R01 HL3293S/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- 1R01-HL33662-01/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- 5R01-HL25145-05/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1985 Jul 12;229(4709):182-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3160111" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Guanine nucleotide binding (G) proteins (subunit composition alpha beta gamma) dissociate on activation with guanosine triphosphate (GTP) analogs and magnesium to give alpha-guanine nucleotide complexes and free beta gamma subunits. Whether the opening of potassium channels by the recently described Gk in isolated membrane patches from mammalian atrial myocytes was mediated by the alpha k subunit or beta gamma dimer was tested. The alpha k subunit was found to be active, while the beta gamma dimer was inactive in stimulating potassium channel activity. Thus, Gk resembles Gs, the stimulatory regulatory component of adenylyl cyclase, and transducin, the regulatory component of the visual system, in that it regulates its effector function--the activity of the ligand-gated potassium channel--through its guanine nucleotide binding subunit.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Codina, J -- Yatani, A -- Grenet, D -- Brown, A M -- Birnbaumer, L -- DK-19318/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- HD-09581/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- HL-31154/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1987 Apr 24;236(4800):442-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2436299" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A possible direct effect of guanine nucleotide binding (G) proteins on calcium channels was examined in membrane patches excised from guinea pig cardiac myocytes and bovine cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles incorporated into planar lipid bilayers. The guanosine triphosphate analog, GTP gamma S, prolonged the survival of excised calcium channels independently of the presence of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP), adenosine triphosphate, cAMP-activated protein kinase, and the protein kinase C activator tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate. A specific G protein, activated Gs, or its alpha subunit, purified from the plasma membranes of human erythrocytes, prolonged the survival of excised channels and stimulated the activity of incorporated channels. Thus, in addition to regulating calcium channels indirectly through activation of cytoplasmic kinases, G proteins can regulate calcium channels directly. Since they also directly regulate a subset of potassium channels, G proteins are now known to directly gate two classes of membrane ion channels.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yatani, A -- Codina, J -- Imoto, Y -- Reeves, J P -- Birnbaumer, L -- Brown, A M -- HL-31154/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL-36930/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL-37044/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1987 Nov 27;238(4831):1288-92.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physiology and Molecular Biophysics, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2446390" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The mammalian heart rate is regulated by the vagus nerve, which acts via muscarinic acetylcholine receptors to cause hyperpolarization of atrial pacemaker cells. The hyperpolarization is produced by the opening of potassium channels and involves an intermediary guanosine triphosphate-binding regulatory (G) protein. Potassium channels in isolated, inside-out patches of membranes from atrial cells now are shown to be activated by a purified pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein of subunit composition alpha beta gamma, with an alpha subunit of 40,000 daltons. Thus, mammalian atrial muscarinic potassium channels are activated directly by a G protein, not indirectly through a cascade of intermediary events. The G protein regulating these channels is identified as a potent Gk; it is active at 0.2 to 1 pM. Thus, proteins other than enzymes can be under control of receptor coupling G proteins.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yatani, A -- Codina, J -- Brown, A M -- Birnbaumer, L -- DK-19318/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- HL-31164/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL-36930/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1987 Jan 9;235(4785):207-11.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2432660" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: Summary Effects of extracellular pH on the sodium current (I Na) of single rat ventricular cells were examined under conditions of voltage clamp and internal perfusion. In this way, pH i was controlled while pH o was changed. The combined suction pipette-microelectrode method was used. The suction pipette passed current and perfused the cell's interior; the microelectrode measured membrane potential. Increasing extracellular H+ depressedI Na and slowed inactivation. The current-voltage curves forI Na and Slowed inactivation. The current-voltage curves forI Na were shifted to positive and negative potentials at low and high pH o , respectively. Similar potential shifts were observed in both the conductance voltage curve and the steadystate inactivation voltage curve (h ∞). Conduction was also depressed at low pH o . The shifts were probably due to surface charge effects, while the impaired conduction was probably due to protonation of a site in the Na channel.
