| Abstract | The murine G-protein α-subunit Gα15 and its human counterpart Gα16 are expressed in a subset of hematopoietic cells, and they have been shown to regulate β-isoforms of inositide-specific phospholipase C. We studied the ability of a variety of receptors to interact with Gα15 and Gα16 by cotransfecting receptors and G-protein α-subunits in COS-7 cells. Activation of β2 adrenergic and muscarinic M2 receptors in cells expressing the receptors alone or together with Gαq, Gα11, or Gα14 led to a very small stimulation of endogenous phospholipase C. However, when the receptors were coexpressed with Gα15 and Gα16, addition of appropriate ligands caused a severalfold increase in inositol phosphate production which was time- and dose-dependent. A similar activation of phospholipase C was observed when several other receptors which were previously shown to couple to members of the Gi and Gs family were coexpressed with Gα15. In addition, stimulation of inositol phosphate formation via receptors naturally coupled to phospholipase C was enhanced by cotransfection of Gα15 and Gα16. These data demonstrate that Gα15 and Gα16 are unique in that they can be activated by a wide variety of G-protein-coupled receptors. The ability of Gα15 and Gα16 to bypass the selectivity of receptor G-protein interaction can be a useful tool to understand the mechanism of receptor-induced G-protein activation. In addition, the promiscuous behavior of Gα15 and Gα16 toward receptors may be helpful in finding ligands corresponding to orphan receptors whose signaling properties are unknown. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
