Abstract excerpt
NIH-3T3 cells were transfected with cDNA encoding the native alpha-subunit of the G protein Gq(alpha q) or a mutant (Q209L) form of alpha q. Cells expressing Q209L-alpha q showed greatly enhanced basal phospholipase C activity. Stimulation of phospholipase C activity by prostaglandin F2 alpha or fetal calf serum was increased up to 10-fold in Q209L-alpha q-transfected cells. Continuous expression of Q209L-alpha q...
