Gib2, A Novel Gβ-like/RACK1 Homolog, Functions as a Gβ Subunit in cAMP Signaling and Is Essential in Cryptococcus neoformans
2 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
Canonical G proteins are heterotrimeric, consisting of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits. Despite multiple Galpha subunits functioning in fungi, only a single Gbeta subunit per species has been identified, suggesting that non-conventional G protein signaling exists in this diverse group of eukaryotic organisms. Using the Galpha subunit Gpa1 that functions in cAMP signaling as bait in a two-hybrid screen, we have...
