Inhibition of subsets of G protein-coupled receptors by empty mutants of G protein alpha subunits in g(o), G(11), and G(16).

Abstract excerpt

We previously reported that the xanthine nucleotide binding G(o)alpha mutant, G(o)alphaX, inhibited the activation of G(i)-coupled receptors. We constructed similar mutations in G(11)alpha and G(16)alpha and characterized their nucleotide binding and receptor interaction. First, we found that G(11)alphaX and G(16)alphaX expressed in COS-7 cells bound xanthine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate) instead of guanosine...
