Abstract

Caveolae are flask-shaped plasma membrane specializations. A 22-kDa protein, caveolin, is a principal component of caveolar membranes in vivo. As recent evidence suggests that caveolae may participate in G protein-coupled signaling events, we have investigated the potential interaction of caveolin with heterotrimeric G proteins. Using cell fractionation techniques, we found that mutational or pharmacologic activation of Gs alpha prevents its cofractionation with caveolin. In a second independent approach, we directly examined the interaction of G proteins with caveolin. For this purpose, we recombinantly expressed caveolin as a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein. Using an in vitro binding assay, we found that caveolin interacts with G protein alpha subunits (Gs, Go, and Gi). Mutational or pharmacologic activation (with guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate)) of G alpha subunits prevents this interaction, indicating that the inactive GDP-bound form of G alpha subunits preferentially interacts with caveolin. This G protein binding activity is located within a 41-amino acid region of caveolin's cytoplasmic N-terminal domain (residues 61-101). Further functional analysis shows that a polypeptide derived from this region of caveolin (residues 82-101) effectively suppresses the basal activity of purified G proteins, apparently by inhibiting GDP/GTP exchange. This caveolin sequence is homologous to a region of the Rab GDP dissociation inhibitor, a known inhibitor of GDP/GTP exchange for Rab proteins. These data suggest that caveolin could function to negatively regulate the activation state of heterotrimeric G proteins.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
