| Abstract | GAIP is a regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) that accelerates the rate of GTP hydrolysis by some G protein α subunits. In the present studies, we have examined the structural basis for the ability of GAIP to discriminate among members of the Gαi family. Gαi1, Gαi3, and Gαo interacted strongly with GAIP, whereas Gαi2 interacted weakly and Gαs did not interact at all. A chimeric G protein composed of a Gαi2N terminus and a Gαi1 C terminus interacted as strongly with GAIP as native Gαi1, whereas a chimeric N-terminal Gαi1 with a Gαi2 C terminus did not interact. These results suggest that the determinants responsible for GAIP selectivity between these two Gαis reside within the C-terminal GTPase domain of the G protein. To further localize residues contributing to G protein-GAIP selectivity, a panel of 15 site-directed Gαi1 and Gαi2 mutants were assayed. Of the Gαi1 mutants tested, only that containing a mutation at aspartate 229 located at the N terminus of Switch 3 did not interact with GAIP. Furthermore, the only Gαi2 variant that interacted strongly with GAIP contained a replacement of the corresponding Gαi2 Switch 3 residue (Ala230) with aspartate. To determine whether GAIP showed functional preferences for Gα subunits that correlate with the binding data, the ability of GAIP to enhance the GTPase activity of purified α subunits was tested. GAIP catalyzed a 3–5-fold increase in the rate of GTP hydrolysis by Gαi1 and Gαi2(A230D) but no increase in the rate of Gαi2 and less than a 2-fold increase in the rate of Gαi1(D229A) under the same conditions. Thus, GAIP was able to discriminate between Gαi1 and Gαi2 in both binding and functional assays, and in both cases residue 229/230 played a critical role in selective recognition. |

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.
