| Abstract | We addressed the question as to which subtypes of G protein subunits mediate the activation of phospholipase C-beta by the muscarinic m1 receptor. We used the rat basophilic leukemia cell line RBL-2H3-hm1 stably transfected with the human muscarinic m1 receptor cDNA. We microinjected antisense oligonucleotides into the nuclei of the cells to inhibit selectively the expression of G protein subunits; 48 hr later muscarinic receptors were activated by carbachol, and the increase in free cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was measured. Antisense oligonucleotides directed against the mRNA coding for alpha(q) and alpha11 subunits both suppressed the carbachol-induced increase in [Ca2+]i. In cells injected with antisense oligonucleotides directed against alpha(o1) and alpha14 subunits, the carbachol effect was unchanged. A corresponding reduction of Galpha(q), and Galpha11 proteins by 70-80% compared to uninjected cells was immunochemically detected 2 days after injection of a mixture of alpha(q) and alpha11 antisense oligonucleotides. Expression of Galpha(q) and Galpha11 completely recovered after 4 days. Cells injected with antisense oligonucleotides directed against the mRNAs encoding for beta1, beta4, and gamma4 subunits showed a suppression of the carbachol-induced increase in [Ca2+]i compared to uninjected cells measured at the same time from the same coverslip, whereas in cells injected with antisense oligonucleotides directed against the beta2, beta3, gamma1, gamma2, gamma3, gamma5, and gamma7 subunits, no suppression of carbachol effect was observed. In summary, the results from RBL-2H3-hm1 cells indicate that the m1 receptor utilizes a G protein complex composed of the subunits alpha(q), alpha11, beta1, beta4, and gamma4 to activate phospholipase C. |

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.
