title: Basic fibroblast growth factor utilizes both types of component subunits of Gs for dual signaling in human adipocytes. Stimulation of adenylyl cyclase via Galph(s) and inhibition of NADPH oxidase by Gbeta gamma(s).
abstract: Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), a ligand of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases, promoted the dissociation of G(s) and had antagonistic stimulatory and inhibitory effects on adenylyl cyclase and NADPH oxidase in human fat cell plasma membranes. The bFGF-induced activation of adenylyl cyclase was blocked by COOH-terminal anti-Galpha(s), indicating that it was mediated by Galpha(s). The inhibitory action of bFGF was mimicked by exogenously supplied Gbetagamma-subunits and was reversed by anti-Gbeta(1/2), or betaARK-CT, a COOH-terminal beta-adrenergic receptor kinase fragment that specifically binds free Gbetagamma, indicating that it was transduced by Gbetagamma complexes. The bFGF-induced inhibition of NADPH-dependent H(2)O(2) generation was also reversed by peptide 100-119, an inhibitor of G(s) activation by ligand-occupied beta-adrenergic receptors, indicating that the Gbetagamma complexes mediating the inhibitory action of the growth factor are derived from G(s). The findings suggest a direct, non-kinase-dependent, coupling of bFGF receptor(s) to G(s) and provide the first example of a ligand of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases that is capable of utilizing both types of component subunits of a single heterotrimeric G protein for dual signaling in a single cell type.
