Abstract excerpt
Gbetagamma subunits interact directly and activate G protein-gated Inwardly Rectifying K(+) (GIRK) channels. Little is known about the identity of functionally important interactions between Gbetagamma and GIRK channels. We tested the effects of all mammalian Gbeta subunits on channel activity and showed that whereas Gbeta1-4 subunits activate heteromeric GIRK channels independently of receptor activation, Gbeta5...
