摘要


Transducin, composed of subunits T alpha, T beta and T gamma, is a member of a heterotrimeric G-protein family, and transduces the light signal in visual cells. We have recently found that bovine T beta gamma can be separated into two components. T beta gamma-1 and T beta gamma-2, each of which has its own gamma-subunit, T gamma-1 and T gamma-2, respectively. T beta gamma-2 enhances the binding of GTP to T alpha in the presence of metarhodopsin II by about 30-fold compared with T beta gamma-1. Here we show that a farnesyl moiety is attached to a sulphur atom of the C-terminal cysteine of T gamma-2 (active form), a part of which is additionally methyl-esterified at the alpha-carboxyl group. In T gamma-1 (inactive form), however, such modifications are missing. Thus, the farnesyl moiety attached to the gamma-subunit is indispensable for the GTP-binding activity of transducin. This suggests that a similar modification may occur in the gamma-subunits of other heterotrimeric G proteins involved in biological signal transduction processes.
