Abstract excerpt
In plants one bona fide Galpha subunit has been identified, as well as a single Gbeta and two Ggamma subunits. To study the roles of lipidation motifs in the regulation of subcellular location and heterotrimer formation in living plant cells, GFP-tagged versions of the Arabidopsis thaliana heterotrimeric G protein subunits were constructed. Mutational analysis showed that the Arabidopsis Galpha subunit, GPalpha1,...
