Splice Isoforms of Phosducin-like Protein Control the Expression of Heterotrimeric G Proteins

Abstract: Background: Heterotrimeric G proteins are essential for biological signaling; however, the mechanism of their biosynthesis remains poorly understood. Results: Long and short splice isoforms of phosducin-like protein stimulate and inhibit production of G proteins in the cell. Conclusion: Both G protein ␣ and ␤␥ functional units are subject to the regulation. Significance: We describe a potential mechanism for regulating the cellular levels of G proteins.

“…All of these proteins were also found to be significantly reduced in the photoreceptors of the PhLPs-expressing transgenic mice used in the present study. 28,31 However, due to the broader nature of the CCT suppression by the dominant-negative PhLPs, additional proteins become affected in this animal model, including those essential for outer segment biogenesis. It should be mentioned that in this, as well as our previous studies, 28,31 the suppression CCT by PhLPs didn't seem to have a significant impact on cytoskeletal proteins, actin and tubulin, known to be processed by CCT.…”

“…It is also consistent with the notion that CCT particles engaged in the folding of actin and tubulin are not available to interact with PhLPs, which predominantly targets CCT preloaded with nascent G protein b subunits. 31 Therefore, the high levels of actin and tubulin expression in the cell may keep this biosynthetic pathway protected from suppression by PhLPs.…”
