| Abstract | Background G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling via heterotrimeric G proteins plays an important role in the cellular regulation of responses to external stimuli. Despite intensive structural research, the mechanism underlying the receptor–G protein coupling of closely related subtypes of Gαi remains unclear. In addition to the structural changes of interacting proteins, the interactions between lipids and proteins seem to be crucial in GPCR-dependent cell signaling due to their functional organization in specific membrane domains. In previous works, we found that Gαs and Gαi3 subunits prefer distinct types of membrane-anchor lipid domains that also modulate the G protein trimer localization. In the present study, we investigated the functional selectivity of dopamine D2 long receptor isoform (D2R) toward the Gαi1, Gαi2, and Gαi3 subunits, and analyzed whether the organization of Gαi heterotrimers at the plasma membrane affects the signal transduction. Methods We characterized the lateral diffusion and the receptor–G protein spatial distribution in living cells using two assays: fluorescence recovery after photobleaching microscopy and fluorescence resonance energy transfer detected by fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy. Depending on distribution of data differences between Gα subunits were investigated using parametric approach–unpaired T-test or nonparametric–Mann–Whitney U test. Results Despite the similarities between the examined subunits, the experiments conducted in the study revealed a significantly faster lateral diffusion of the Gαi2 subunit and the singular distribution of the Gαi1 subunit in the plasma membrane. The cell membrane partitioning of distinct Gαi heterotrimers with dopamine receptor correlated very well with the efficiency of D2R-mediated inhibition the formation of cAMP. Conclusions This study showed that even closely related subunits of Gαi differ in their membrane-trafficking properties that impact on their signaling. The interactions between lipids and proteins seem to be crucial in GPCR-dependent cell signaling due to their functional organization in specific membrane domains, and should therefore be taken into account as one of the selectivity determinants of G protein coupling.

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.
