The identification and purification of the heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein from squid (Loligo forbesi) photoreceptors.
The principal GTP-binding protein (G-protein) from squid (Loligo forbesi) photoreceptor membranes has been identified by amino acid sequencing. The heterotrimeric protein was purified by detergent solubilization and ion-exchange chromatography. The amino acid sequence of the G-protein alpha-subunit (G-alpha) indicates that this subunit is closely related to the recently characterized Gq subgroup, whereas the G-gamma subunit varies widely in sequence from other homologues.
