Recent update from: 02.01.2000

GNT

Notes

Interaction of GNAT with Mg²⁺ and GTP in a complex from which GTP dissociates very slowly
Mg²⁺ promotes GDP-dissociation from GNAT without dissociation of GNB/G
GNG/G increases the affinity of GNAT for GDP
Rate of GTP hydrolyzation is correlated to GDP exchange

GNAT

Notes

Modified with 2 types of lipids: C12 lauroyl and C14 myristoyl
Myristoylation lasts for lifetime
C12 modified forms are less effective to interact with GNB/GNG

GNGT

Notes

Prenylated CAAX motif
Modified by farnesyl
Unprenylated GNG can still associate with GNB
RAl GNB-GNG does not need farnesylation for signal transduction
Non-retinal GNG are farnesylated
Inhibition of mevalonate pathway redistributes GNG to the cytosol

GNAT

Notes

Acylation of N-terminal Gly by C12 and C14:0/C14:2
GNAT1 is heterogenously acylated
Acylation form depends on [GTP] of eluation
C14 promotes GNG interaction more efficient than C14:2

GNAT1

Notes

2 GNAT bind to 1 PDE-complex during maximum activation by forming a tightly membrane-bound complex
binding of the second GNAT does not enhance activity
in the presence of membranes: submicromolar amounts of GNAT are able to activate PDE
PDE membrane concentration in bovine rods app. 50 mM (entirely membrane bound)
GNAT concentration in cones app. 500 mM

GNAT, a

Notes

binds PDEtrimer only on cGMP occupied binding sites
if cGMP binding sites are not occupied GNAT only removes PDEG
when cGMP is high PDE activity is low
GNAT cd250 - 275 has high affinity for PDEG and activates in a dose dedendent manner
after GNAT binding when cGMP is low PDE activity is high (more turnover because of less effector)
inhibitory site at PDEG-C-terminus
Affinity to GNAT is reduced on phosphorylation

Notes

Mutation of conserved Trp 207 to Phe
Binds to one PDE6G and displaces it from the complex
Lack of fluorescence on AlFX binding and conformational switch indicates Trp 207 as the only fluorescence sensor and suggests it to contribute to effector binding
