title: Purification and identification of two pertussis-toxin-sensitive GTP-binding proteins of bovine spleen.
abstract: Two alpha subunits of GTP-binding proteins were purified from bovine spleen membranes. Both proteins were ADP-ribosylated by pertussis toxin in the presence of beta gamma subunits. The major protein had a molecular mass of 40 kDa and its immunological reactivity and fragmentation pattern by limited proteolysis were identical with those of the alpha subunit of Gi2. The minor protein had a molecular mass of 41 kDa and its partial amino acid sequences completely matched with those predicted from human and rat Gi3 alpha cDNAs.
